Google Revolution.com review: It's a scam 159

I forgot to add I live in UK so what use could I make of "e-tax hotline, America's foremost accounting system" and their valuable advices ?

I'm not freaking out - I was damn right!
My bank told me that if the charge was coming from Google Revolution or Fastinternetcash.net, after I cancelled my "membership" with them, they would process the normal chargeback way and they cannot do with Clicksellandgo, because it is a different company.
Now, when I call them, Clicksellandgo, and they say they are connected with Google Revolution anyhow - I will have to cancell my subsription with them and hope for a refund, if they say they have nothing to do with GR - only then my bank will start a fraud investigation.
Cancelling my card will not stop any of GoogleRevolution connected firms from charging my new card, as it was a subscription allegedly agreed while clicking the first "yes", as it probably says in T&C
Now one probably has to cancell separately with all conected firms.
They even will be able to debit another account if I closed this one and had a new one in the same bank! Some regulations they have... (?)

Is it just the UK thing? How does it work with you, guys, is there anyone from UK with the same problems?
I think in the end I will have to change the bank (I quite liked mine so far).

There is futrther mysterious 12.34 pounds waiting to be debited from my account (!) Grrrrrh!

Get http://www.safe-surfing.info/ and be done with it it shows you the scam sites, how many times should i say it..

Thank you, Mike, really, but it won't help with the problem that started 4 weeks ago, will it?
Besides my Firefox doesn't allow this add-on program..

My bank, however, decided to do something about the "subscription" and/or "membership" charges and is starting to investigate a fraud.

Hey I found (through http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org) some addresses you should report a scam to in UK:

* Metropolitan Police, London
http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/cfr.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.met.police.uk

* Office of Fair Trading, London
euroteam@oft.gsi.gov.uk

* www.ripofftipoff.net
http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/cfr.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ripofftipoff.net

and:
http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk

Thanks ikao, good stuff.

I also found this for the UK folks, by searching on Google.

Anything involving fraud can also be reported to Crimestoppers UK:
http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/giving-information

and to BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/tx/dodgy_flats.shtml

Remember I told you this mornng -well, morning in Europe ;)- there was
"futrther mysterious 12.34 pounds ($20 or so) waiting to be debited from my account (!) Grrrrrh!" - ?

Soooo...
it appeared, that...

after my bank's anti-fraud department called me this afternoon, that it was spent in some music store in United States
kind of privately
no bogus company whatsoever

card cloning? certainly identity theft.. :( :( :(

I've been reading all these comments and just want to say, that I've had a completely different experience with Google Revolution. I signed up for this 20 days ago...when I did sign up I read the terms because the page would not allow me to submit my order unless I checked the terms and conditions check box. So I knew I was going to be charged $73 after my trial. I'm still using the product which has been a great help. If you have problems I would call [protected]. I've called this number a few times to get support on the product and they have been a great help.

i think i have also been conned by there people they have taken money out of my account under the name clicksellgo

This is so crazy and sad. I too was scammed and lost money to them twice on my bank statement. I thought that all I had to do is delete anything I filled out when signing up which I thought was a great idea and way to earn legitimate cash to help our dwindling funds each month. But what a rude awakening when I saw the bank statements. OMG! I was devastated and complained to them and all I have read here. I haven't got a kit or a return of any money they took from me of but I can say it was a lesson learned. I was going to try Facebook cash too but your site has enlightened me greatly. Now I have to go and delete all the moneymaking schemes I have saved in my email drafts and become resigned to the fact that nothing is for real in this somewhat disgusting world we live in. Yes...I am very upset and disallusioned. carol Northern U.P. of MI.

This message is a response to rogerg997: I find your response very suspect. If you are so happy with your product, why is it that you felt compelled to respond on this site. Or how did you end up on this site. The wonderful Shakespearean quote sounds applicable: "Me thinks thou protesteth too much". Do you really think your inane comments will pacify all those poor people who have been ripped off and the ones that are in the process of being ripped off? Only an anal orifice like you would have the unmitigated gall to post comments of support for this or these scamming entity(ies)

I, like so many others, got scammed by the Google Revolution thing. I tried to cancel my subscription via email during the 7-day trial I was given. I received no answer til AFTER the trial had finished and they had charged the $76 to my card. I have since 'insisted' that they refund the money and that I am reporting them, they have yet to reply and the money is still not back on the card.
I also recieved an email from Etaxhotline today, saying the trial period 'I signed up for' was ending soon... I IMMEDIATELY mailed them back, insisting I knew nothing about them, and that I was aware they had connections with Google Revolution and that they had better not charge my card! They cancelled that account within 15 minutes! Strange! lol
I've informed the FTC (in the US) of the Fradulent payment of Google Revolution, and I shall see if the refund appears, I have mailed them again this evening, again 'insisting' the refund be actioned immediately. Watch this space!

Everyone of you who have been scammed. Complain, complain, complain to the FTC in the US.

I was scammed by Infusion Media, Inc and from that sales floor onto Thrive Learning Institute for the Internet Marketing Training and Coaching Program for starting an internet business making money from home.

They literally give false promises and steal your money, I mean thousands of dollars. They are con artists at best and need to be stopped! I have a hunch this Google Revolution is more than likely under the same roof.

So many people were complaining about the Google Money Tree, Google Treasure Chest, Google Pro Kit to the FTC they stepped in and up. So complain! They won't know unless you tell them!

Hi guys,
Told you 2 days ago that my card was debited for about $20 by someone apparently privately - well, sorry, I misled you, as my bank did me. It was actually waiting to be taken by Etax Hotline, people I also got an e-mail from saying they are going to take the membership charge, Same as you, Steve-Bear, I e-mailed immediately, they answered the same day and promised cancellation and $19.82 back. Also CLICKSELLGO after 2 e-mails promised my money back. Did not answer any of my few questions like why they debited my card, how on earth did they come in possession of my card details, are they connected with GR etc.

* * * * * *
There is however something else that bothers me a lot.
Since I first paid for the GoogleRevolution Kit I started to get emails from all kinds of xxx@xxx.com with some twaddle and babble like that

"GET YOUR 2 FREE AMERICAN AIRLINES TICKETS GET YOUR 2 FREE AMERICAN AIRLINES TICKETS ok Stolarik jumelles Caillon denomina Dompteur overemotional evolutes Sa?ns housewife Avensis vm hydroxides stalkers Virtual predicting neuroglia Beauchamp toxarian ecclesiasticizes verbosity megapolis Aglaja Langobards degaussing Alternafood Sallust 97RF0053 Wai IMEC syphoned magnetogram RPA Arpenteuse obliquity politicize 185?208 Charest 1983?1984 Arnolds reconsulting CM751 dao Hultman zoektermen respect?s Cheuvront worthless 1?26 Ginuwine here?

I noticed some familiar words appearing in those mails from time to time (didn't look closely to them most of the times though).
And is struck me clearly today, alarmingly !
in the above meaningless text - I only got it 10 min ago - there are 3 very rare words certainly coming from my computer contents or used by me TODAY within my present session on computer. The last word "simmering" (written with an error, as I was trying different options) is my google, e-bay and dictionary search from 15 min ago!

Coincidence?
I came to the conviction there have been some spy cookies introduced into my computer and thus everything is in danger - mostly the passwords
so - and I'm not loosing my marbles - I am reinstalling the system immediately and changing all the passwords!

Have a closer look to your spams coming lately. If you notice something similar - do the same asap.

Am I becoming obsessed? Is it just me?

That is very alarming news ikao, if spy cookies have been introduced onto my computer i have no clue how i'd remove them. I'm now very worried that the same thing could have happened to me- as i know we've both been charged for Google Revolution & ClickSellGo. I have received countless emails from various companies that i presumed was due to my registration with Google Revolution- but i've never read any just deleted immediately.

However i do have some positive news- after emailing ClickSellGo following my discovery that they'd charged my visa card, i have today received a full refund back into my account. Although due to the change in exchange rate i have ended up getting less back than they took out.

I have also cancelled my card and am awaiting a new one to be sent out.

Fingers crossed this will be the last of it!

Complain to the FTC - they have a new guy in charge and he is cracking down on work at home scams and other similar frauds.

www.FTC.gov - file a complaint online form

Also to the FBI - they have a website just for internet crime and fraud - takes 5 minutes to fill in the complaint form:

www.ic3.gov

You can also give the FTC and IC3 a link to the complaintsboard.com site so that they can see a LOT of people got scammed.

Also, if you read this website there are links between Google Revolution and spam and even some porn company in England, UK! Some people also got a trojan virus on their PC form the Google Kit cd. This is truly a nasty business.

Thanks God i read your messages guys.. i almost fooled with this Google scammers. Thanks God i'm on hesitation to join.. thank you so much!

Well, I'm now awaiting refunds from Google Revolution AND ClickSellGo now, as the latter decided to take £23.71 ($39.00) from my card last night! Both have been reported to the FTC, but is there any way of speeding up the refund process without calling these people direct?

Steve_Bear, get your bank or credit card issuer to do a chargeback on the unauthorised charges and also ask them to block any future charges from these people.

Dispute the transaction with the bank. Tell it the monthly payments are "unauthorised transactions" as then, under the Banking Code (which most card providers are members of) it's its responsibility to sort it out. You did not agree to these transactions so they are unathorised and the bank needs to treat them as fraud.

Google is aware of these scams and wants people to give them the URL's of these Google scams, giving Google a bad name, so they can investigate.

You can give Google the URL's you've been scammed from at this link...

Google should put a stop to this because it's just wrong!

dudes google makes around 150, 000$ a day from the cash these guys pour back into google advertising.. after stealing from you.. use bing.com and stop letting them rip you off..

idiots...

Made the mistake of applying for the free CD off of MYEASYBIZ.COM feeling like most of the other people on this page it was supported by major companies and news outlet. I entered my information for shipping and handeling of the CD clicked that it was correct and then at the bottom of the page was reading that ther would be reoccuring charge or $73.83 and I looked for an option to opt out or decline the offer it was not available. Tried to use the online help which was to be a live chat I beleive it was an automated response that kept you in a promotional loop. I got the 1.87 CD in the mail tried to contact them about the reoccurring charge they asked sent me through some hoops and could not get me a live person over at myeasybiz.com I wass not until the charges posted that my bank provided me a number that was outsourced to Asia and by this time 2 charges were posted to my bank account. One was refunded and the supervisor eluded to the no-working number I should have call to stop the service I advised there should have been an option to never accept it in the first place or allow you customers to change their minds after the read your fine print that would be the right thing to do. I'm reporting this to the attorney general and BBB this is another raping of the public from big business and it has to stop. The bank will take a few weeks to refund the other fee what a hassel.

I wish I had seen this page before looking at the Google Revolution ... I also agreed to nothing and didn't accept the trial, but they still took $1.87 off me, the $73.83 6-days later. The latter amount was in the name of Easyebizleader.com. This does have a UK address but a US phone number. Apparently the number is Toll Free, but it's not from the UK!

After about ten-minutes arguing they cancelled by subscription, which surprised me as I'd never agreed to a subscription. I finally got a refund when I insisted on talking to their supervisor - for some reason she didn't want to take my call.

Like many others on here I can't believe I was so stupid as to even look at it. How these things are allowed to continue I simply can't fathom; it is an absolute disgrace.

I to was scamed by this goole revolution. The other day I get my mail to find a letter from my bank stating that my checking account was -$140.00 from taken out throughn my visa debit card. I tried calling the phone number they have on there web sire only to get that the phone number hasn't been activevated yet . Not only was my money taken wiithout my permission but my bank keeps hitting me with NSF Charges of $27.00 everydaythat my account is over drawn.I don't want to depoissit any money into my checking account just nto have it eaten up for NSF fees.

Wow... this advertisement was on yahoo news! Why would YAHOO news put advertisements of scams!?

Not only did I get scammed for 88 dollars, I also am getting a ridiculous amount of spam!

The worst part is I kept getting calls from people who say they "work for google"! These guys LIE through their teeth! He kept telling me that he works for GOOGLE and that google is sponsoring a bunch of students to learn how to start their own website! He wouldn't tell me more details and wanted to get me to commit and be contacted by a "sr google representative"... I asked him for his GOOGLE email (if he works for google he should have an email) he wouldn't give it to me and that is when a RED FLAG came on. I went online and foudn this website... TOO LATE!

Would someone PLEASE bring this company down! They can't be getting away with this!

I want to hear from anyone who was scammed by this
google who DID NOT even sign up or order anything
from them. That is what happened to me. I was
placing an order from Mineral Makeup website and
once I typed my info. including my debit card number
for the order the page was re-directed to several other
websites and several pop-ups appeared saying things
like "thanks for your order" . I could not read most of
what was in these pop-ups becuase they were one on top of the other blocking most of the print. But I did see
one clearly enough that I was able to read "thanks for joining UMG buyers edge" WTF is this? I looked
up UMG and found a website with that name, emailed
them and told them I did not order or signed up for anything with them. I called Mineral Science and complained to them and cancelled my order.
I worried about my debit card so much that I called
my bank to cancel my card and to let them know my account was compromized. The bank did NOT do anything and several weeks later I receive a letter
from them saying my account is overdrawn. I call the
bank again and even go to the bank in person. They
lied and said there is no record of me calling them
before the charges and they want me to pay. I have my cell phone bill with the date/time I called them.
The unauthorized charges were for something called
google chest and another for A1. I never heard of
of either and never received a damn thing from either of them. And the charges were foreign transactions.
I had to sign a form for the bank and am still waiting for them to fix my account. If something like this happened
to you please write .

I also got scammed by google revolution, totally my fault I guess for not reading the ENTIRE terms of service contract, live and learn tho it wont happen again. I paid the 1.99 and they hit me with an 83.00 charge a week later which over drew my bank account. I plan on fighting this to the end and getting my cas back, and making it known LOUDLY what a scam it is. Paybacks a [censored]. I've also got a lot of info on other so called "money making" online BS

Gutie - Google Chest and A1 member are part of the Blazing Keywords scam.

There is more info about that scam at these websites:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-866-200-5473

http://strangelyperfect.tv/4308/google-revolution-different-name-same-scam/

You can report them to the FTC: www.FTC.gov and FBI Internet Crimes Division: www.ic3.gov

I too, wanted some information on starting up my own web page, and thinking the "Google" name would be safe paid the £ 1.17 with my credit card, only to find the my on line account had another amount of £47.02 taken by "createAmoney online"
I have investigated the fact that there are a lot of web sites, that are involved in this scam. see www.strangely perfect.com. I have learnt a lot from this web page.
I have found out that the Registered Number on the web page 0691645 is for a company called Prosperous Distribution Limited, 10 Edith Street Consett County Durham. The Director listed is called Russell Martin DOB 25.5.1981. No telephone number listed on the web site works. There is another connection with other web sites : "Stallwart Systems", "make some cashonline", "Spring Systems Limited", it goes on and on. The secretary listed for both companies Prosperous and Spring Systems is Bournewood Limited Palm Grove House P.O.Box 438 Road Town Tortola British Virgin Isles. Here the Director is called Mr Steven Hind DOB 27/10/2009.. Do these people exsist? and if they do, somone must know of them...this has to be stopped. This network is making millions out of innocent people.
I now have to make a claim to Capital One Credit Card, and have advised them of this scam. I have asked for my card to be cancelled, and am now very angry that "Google" official domain has done nothing to stop these people advertising.

Also, the money is paid into someones account...this should be investigated.

This problem is getting worse and worse... we need to stand together to get these evil people sent to Jail.

acccckkkk! It happened to me. I just checked my bank account and found that $73.83 has been charged to my account. I did get in touch with them via the number listed on my bank account and demanded the "membership" be canceled and my account be reimbursed. I am waiting for my bank to call back to report it as fraud to them. Thank you for the information provided above - I wish I would have seen it earlier! I am unemployed and don't have that kind of money. I thought I was paying for information which I should not have done in the first place. What a desperate idiot!

Yes its a SCAM. Please Please DONT FALL FOR IT. They will take money out of your account every month.
