Stupid me. I was reading an MSN money article about a week and a half ago, and saw link to an article about google home businesses. Clicked on the link, looked legit.

Read the article, it was late at night, I am currently in grad school, so thought hey, might be a good way to make money on the side. Clicked on the link, which is now "googlemaster" went to the website.

Entered information, was charged 1.97. Got an email with a "reciept" saying would be charged at the end of the trial period. No mention of what the trial period was. Thought I had at least a week. Guess not, charge a week later of $74.97 with a credit of $24.99. Called the pyhone number, supposidly they cancelled my charges, but woudln't refund. Were very smug that i agreed to these charges, which I did not. Called my bank, said they couldn't do anything if I agreed to the orginal charge, only if they tried to charge me again. Cancelled my credit card and got a new card sent out. I understand I made a mistake, but really think the bank should be able to do something so they don't get money. Wishing I would have told the bank I never agreed to the charge, becuase then they would have to refund it.instead I was honest. However i know i never agreed to any terms and conditions that gave me a 3 day trial.
Now if you go to the website, I think they have changed it, or they made a new website. I only got to the website again by a link on another complaint. I tried to find the original website in my "favorites" but nowhere to be found. Additionally, the website that the email lists out: fastblogincome.com does not exist.By searching for that original article, I got a link for this website: https://www.internetrichgurus.com/120109/index.php
Which looks like the one I entered information in, but now they have added the disclaimer at the bottom with the 130.00$ information. This was not on there when I agreed, and the amount they charged was different.
Additionally, when you enter this website it also allows another company "expensetracker" access to your charge card. I never agreed to this. After entering information I got an email from expensetracker that said I had a free trial period, and then would be charged. Never had a date to my trial period from them either.
