On 03-24-09 in the late evening hours I was on my Facebook page and to the right side of the page are advertisements. This occurred in the County of Yakima, State of Washington.
That night I clicked on an ad called Google Cash. It directed me that if I wanted to learn how to make money placing Google adds on my website that I needed to pay a fee of $1.95), which I did entering my credit card and personal information. I trusted it, as it was displayed on a highly trusted site, Facebook.
After that it directed me further to a page that only offered me to purchase the full Google add package at $47.00. It gave me no information on placing Google ads, as it had promised. I felt cheated for a $1.95, but did not purchase or click anything to purchase the Goggle adds package information. I simply exited out of the page. It gave me not Legal Terms or Conditions and I never received any emails stating the purchase of this package.
On 03-31-09 in the evening hours I was requisitioning my bank statement via Bank of America and saw charges from the following:
03/24/09 international transaction fee -$1.41
03/24/09 purchase 90630323024485644262101 on 03/23 at emill recession proof 8002580078 -$47.00
These charges were suspicious to me and I could not recollect purchasing anything from a company at EMILL RECESSION PROOF. I did not know what that was until I started an investigation.
I Googled EMILL RECESSION PROOF and immediately came up with links stating fraudulent company, scam, and lawsuits. I began reading testimonials about how persons had gone through the same experience as I, with these unknown charges appearing on their bank statements. People are upset and can't track down the company behind this. They are getting recurring fees too. The phone number on the bank statement purchase is not a good one.
Through the internet I continued my investigation until I finally found out the company behind this scam. It is a company called EMILLIONAIRE, Inc. Based out of Tampa Florida.
Their address is 601 Clevland St Suite 360 Clearwater, FL 33755. I finally learned their true phone number: 1-800-309-6980.
T
he way I found out is I went to www.emillionaire.com, which I had no idea I had an username, password, or account with. It asked for an username and password, so I entered my email address in the I forgot my password box below the login.
I quickly received an email with my username and password, which up until this point I had no idea existed. I used this information to login to the site and realized they had set me up with the Google Cash info package, which I never authorized or purchased. They fraudulently used my bank account card information to make this purchase without permission from me.
I logged into my Go Daddy account (a domain registrar company) to find out, who owns the domain name www.emillionaire.com and found the following:

As of today, 04-02-09, my account (fraudulently set up) has not been deactivated as the EMILLIONAIRE employee stated it would be. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB CASE#: 67141383).
I contacted a Clearwater Florida Police Department Detective via phone and discussed the case with him. He stated he had other similar complaints of this nature with the business located in their city.
I went to the Yakima County Sheriff's Office (509-574-2500) at about 1130 hrs with this report. I made contact with a Sgt., who drew a case number and forwarded it to their detective division. Case Number: (09-05313)
I sent this report to the FBI Seattle Field Office for Review and am waiting to hear back from an agent at this time.
