I received a pop up saying I could make money on Google by posting ads. The pop up was something like Google Adwords I don't remember exactly. It said that for $1.95 I would receive info in the mail so I thought it was worth checking out. I gave them my debit card# and soon after noticed there were several charges to my account. The first charge was for $1.95 then another for $81.32. I did some research, found the phone number and called the company asking for a refund of the $81.32 that I did not authorize. They said there is a second page to the sign up that states the terms of the offer. They said there is a startup fee and monthly charge and to go back to the web sight and read the terms on the second page. I went back to the sight and sure enough there was a second page stating the charges that they had told me over the phone. It wasn't there when I initially signed up for the info for $1.95. Somehow after they got my card# they added the 2nd page.in the terms it said that if you respond in 7 days you will be given a refund. I responded within the7 days and they did credit the $81.32 back to my account. But it didn't stop there. Several days later I noticed they had charged $39.73 to my account. A few days later they charged $38.34 twice. A few days after that $36.77 for a total of $236.45 all of wich I only authorized $1.95. The good news is by watching my account I caught all the charges and so far have been credited back all but $38.34 and the initial $1.95. This business is a total scam and they go by several names, Monsterkeywords, Blazing Keywords, Grant Masters, Online-Ebiz, Internet Profit Gene and Powersale. These are the names that appeared on my bank statements with different phone numbers beside each one. I did call the various phone numbers and the same person answered each time. They are all the same business. I hope someone investigates this fraudulant business and puts a stop to their activites. Thanks
