Description of Complaint: On 04/03 I was accessing my email provider when the advertisement for what looked like a legitimate work at home business came up. They said that it appeared on Cnn and on a talk show even had a video link. They even had testimonials and people posting with checks. Turned out to be all a scam!
I clicked on the link and after reading the success story was redirected to a website where I was instructed to put in my credit card numbers to access the website portal for the work at home. The total charged was $97.95. I completed the transaction but after doing so received no confirmation of my order or instructions for accessing website. Upon further research I have discovered this company to be fraudulent and there are hundreds of stories out there where they also stole peoples credit information and put fradulent charges on their credit accounts. I immediately called my bank and cancelled my credit card but unfortunately the charge has already gone through and hit my bank account.
I filed complaints with the ftc, bbb, fbi internet crime, and now will have to try to dispute the charge via my bank. Please be careful there are alot of scammers out there. To make matters worse this company is located in the Panama City although the website says they are located in Los Angeles.
