*notice..!! This ripoff has nothing to do with Google search engine - many rip-off businesses use the Google name to fool consumers.

Earlier this year, I saw this website advertising for business opportunities using Google. They claimed that for a small fee, they would send me materials to help me learn how to use Google to make money, and also offered access to their website. Well, the materials did not materialize in the mail, and I could never really access their web site. I tried to send them an e-mail to let them know about this, but it would not go through. You can't really contact them by e-mail at all. While they do have a phone number listed, you won't be connected to anyone—no human—no matter how many times you call. All that you get is a recorded message that the "back-up operator" is unable to complete the call, and then you are asked to call back another time. Well, you get the same recorded message every time. I also was not aware that once you "subscribe", you only have seven days to cancel or you will be billed monthly through auto-debits of the credit card that you submitted. It was not until my creditor called me about it that I realized there was a problem. I was being charged by auto-debit $72.21 each month! I filed a complaint with my creditor, and also with the Better Business Bureau in Utah. It appears that a lot of people were in the same boat because there were multiple complaints made against this company, which also has various aliases, affiliates, and phony phone numbers. Just yesterday, some guy called who claimed to be with Google Start Ups. I told him that I canceled and he said that I was not, and that they have my credit card information. I asked for his phone number, and the one he gave connected to an apparently legit company I once had business with but canceled. This woman confirmed the cancellation and gave me a corresponding number. I told her what happened, and she said that there were many other scammers using their company's identity. She again assured me that my affiliation with her company was cancelled. Luckily, my creditor stopped the charges and credited my account for each and every one of them, including the finance charges. Beware of the wolves!
