They lure you into a get rich scheme helping Google find links. To legitimize you as a real person you are asked to provide your address and phone number. They ask you to read their website and check them out. Usually my staff checks these things out but all they ask is for you to send them $1.95 for a booklet about how to start with Google. $1.95 is nothing so you give them your credit card info. Then they tell you that for more information they will charge you $395.00 flat fee or $29.84 per month as a member. If you close your browser you find a $29.84 charge added to your credit card. When you call them you leave your number. They call back and when you tell them about the charge they say that if you cancel your membership they will charge your card a fee of $395 for early cancellation. Your only recourse is to cancel your credit card immediately. As you are canceling your card they are in the process of putting that charge on your card. If you are fast enough, you can cut them off.
