How are they able to use Googles’ good name?
I was browsing around the web when I came around a message on the Complaints Board. The guy is talking about getting scammed by a “Google Fast Cash” kit for a $1.00 that is suppose to help you make $500-$5000 dollars a month by making text ads or something to that matter.
Well this guy along with many others are getting more charges on there credit card then expected. I just don’t seem to understand how a company like google would have something like this going on, and if it really is them why are they putting in all these hidden charges that go from 35-50 dollars a month?
If it is someone that is just using Googles name why isn’t Google taking any kind of action against this person(s)? Something like this can really ruin a companies reputation. If Google really isn’t doing this they should really get to the bottom of who is.

If people would read the disclaimer statement it clearly states that they are not google and are no way affiliated with google. That would be a big clue for me.

People are stupid. If this person thought for a few seconds before whipping out his credit card, he would have started to wonder why it’s only $1 for $500 dollars a month of income. If he/she would have read the fine print, they would have said they are in no way affiliated with the Google you’re thinking of. Different company, similar/same name. That’s what the scammer was hoping for. A sucker. One’s born every minute you know…

THIS COMPANY IS FRUAD. THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR 39.95 BEFORE YOUR 3 DAT TRIAL PERIOD IS EVEN UP. AND WHEN YOU CALL ABOUT IT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL YOU ITS JUST “PENDING” BUT HOW CAN YOU CHARGE SOMEONE BEFORE THE SERVICES ARE EVEN USED?!? THEN YOU GER THESE “BONUS TRIALS” LIKE FRUAD PROTECTION AND ID SECURITY, THAT DOESNT DO ABSOULTELY NOTHING BOYT TELL YOU HOW TO PERVENT FRUAD AND ID THEFT. WELL… HELLO!!! THATS A NO BRAINER… DONT GIVE YOUR INFORMATION OUT AND NEVER GIVE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO ANYONE. THIS COMPANY IS FINDING ANY WAY POSSIABLE TO MAKE MONEY. THIS 21YR OLD CANADIAN DUDE IS MAKING MONEY OFF THE FINE PRINT! AND THEN YOU CALL TO CXL; THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO CALL THE 2 AFFILIANT COMPANIES. SO THOSE “BONUS TRIALS” GET TO CHARGE YOU. BECAUSE YOU THINK WHEN YOU CXL ONE THAT CXL’S EVERYTHING BUT NO. WHEN YOU CALL THE CSR YOU SPAEK TOO HAS THE ABILITY TO CXL ALL 3 ACCTS. WITH ONE PHONE CALL BECUASE ITS ALL IN A CLICK OF A BUTTON. BUT THEY TELL YOU THAT YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO CALL THIS OTHER NUMBER. TELL THEN THAT YOUR NOT GOING TO CALL A BAZILLION NUMBER TO CLX THE S*IT THEY ADDED TO YOUR ACCT. ASK TO SPAEK TO A MANAGER. TELL HIM OR THE THAT YOUR GOING TO CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GERERAL AND YOUR BANK. THIS WILL PISS THEM OFF BECUASE THEY WILL NOT WANT CHARGE BACK’S OR ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THERE END. THEN IF YOU ASK FOR A ADDRESS… THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME BOGUS ADDRESS OUT OF NEW YORK THAT NOONE IS GONIG TO REPLY OR GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY…EARN CASH FASH WITH GOOGLE IS A PIECE OF CARP!!!!

Google,Microsft,Amazon,and Ebay, can do nothing about scammers, who use their name,because we live in a wicked world, full of predatory people,who see scamming, as a way to survive,at the expense of others;I rate them, along with pimps and drug pushers.Only Judgement Day, will set them straight – for a fatal trap has been set for them, in which there shall be no escape.

THIS IS A SCAM. THEY ARE MAKING MONEY OUT OF FINR PRINT. AFTER YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN CHARGED AND YOU CANCEL IT, THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT A CANCELLATION EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT, BUT YOU NEVER RECIEVE ANY EMAIL AND YOU ARE BEING CHARGED AGAIN. EVERYONE SHOULD CALL ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE TO START AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SCAM.

Ok, and the basic idea is that they are misleading. I’m not talking about the disclaimer, I am talking about how they use Googles’ Company name in there product name, and Google doesn’t care.

I hope my $5000 cheque comes soon… I put a down payment on a house when I saw this ad that told me how much money I would make at this. I explained to my bank that those cheques should be rolling in any day now…..

Hope your jokin bud. This article was to tell everyone that it is a scam, read the fine print, they just tack on a lot of charges, and NEVER send you the kit, making it a scam.
