I responded to an ad on Google about working at home. I received a confirmation email from [email protected] to download the business kit - meanwhile, I decided not to get the kit and did not download it. This happened on 11/21/09. On 11/21 and 11/22, $1.00 and $1.97 were taken from my checking account by MONEYSEARCH and XM BRANDS CANCUN. On 11/27, they took another $77.83. I went to my bank and challenged these charges, so the bank disputed them immediately. Today, I see I've been charged $34.95 by ONLINE BUSINESS KIT and $39.95 by GRANTLINEPRO. After reading all the complaints about these companies (which I sure wish I'd read before I clicked on that ad), it looks like they're all aliases of the same company which is busy ripping people off. I filed reports with the FCC and the FBI. I advise anyone who has suffered this fraud to do the same. Also, keep an eye on your bank or credit card reports - the sooner you can report fraud, the better. If anyone knows how to file a report with Google, please let us all know - I can't find any contact info on their website to report this fraudulent activity, which also uses their name in their ads.
