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

I signed up because I am currently unemployed and wanted to just check it out. Afterall, $1.87 wasn't too much for the possibility of finding work, right? Wrong. Twice they took $73.83 from my bank account without my approval. They did this after I refused to give a caller from Honshu authorization. This caller asked personal questions that I would never answer to. When I failed to do what he wanted, he got mad and told me to contact their customer service. I never did call and thought they were gone until they deducted the second $73.83. I wrote a letter to Honshu and received a refund for partial monies but no explanation of why they did not refund the full amount. I think if they are refunding money, it should be all as they have admitted guilt by refunding any of it.n I'm writing another letter and will copy every organization possible that can get the word out...

GDI is like any other mlm company, it takes alot of people to make any money since you only get paid $1.00 out of the $10.

GDI is a solid company. But I like to promote PS

A solid company but its free to join and they make money off of add spots on their social site and pays back its free members 70% of what they make in.

Thx

I have not received anything tangible from your product therefore I wish to terminate my subsciption.

Hey People. Do you know prisoners have internet access. Think twice before ever giving anyone your private information. This one is so fishy I can say without a doubt this came from a prison somewhere in America. Once a crook always a crook. Nothing is for free either.

Hello everyone out there.
I have been drawn $15, 95 by Googlerevolution.com

And now I read this is fraud.
I live in Copenhagen so how do I get my money back from these people?

Somebody tell me what to do.

Best Regards
F.E.Petersen

they are evil! bad karma will come to you!

I hope you get your money back soon . Too many scammers out there.

So many scams out there. Good luck in getting this resolved.

Google Revolution is run by a company called Hinshu Systems, LLC. If you call them, they will dodge any questions and tell you, in an accent that you cannot understand, that you have to write a letter to request a refund.

I was able to cancel the monthly charge of 70 some dollars, and when i wrote a letter, I received email confirmation of a refund for the three months I was charged unknowingly. Honshu Systems LLC, 2850 Horizon Ridge Parkway, Ste 200, Henderson, NV 89052. Be sure to include your name and email address, and mention that you were unsatisfied becuase nothing ever came in the mail, you were charged without your consent because the terms/rules were not visible and that you feel you were ripped off. Say you will charge a fraud complaint if you do not see a refund. This is how I got my refund. Hope this helps.

I too have been caught out with all of this.
I sent emails to Google Revolution, Clicksellgo and Etaxhotline and all 3 have replied saying my account has been cancelled and they are issuing refunds. A result if they are true to their words.
I spoke to MBNA who patched me through on the phone to Google Revolution other wise Im not sure I would have got hold of them.
My advice would be to send strongly worded emails to them all (see below) threatening police / legal action whatever you think will work. It seems to have worked for me. I am still thinking of cancelling my card and getting a new one just in case.

support@googlerevolution.com or support@googleuniversity.net
support@clicksellgo.com
support@etaxhotline.com

Good luck!

AmTrust gave me my money back! you should switch banks and tell them to suck it!

I am soooooooooo pissed...they will find out the true meaning of TERRORIST if they don't give me my money back! I swear I will be on a MISSION! It is a personal affront and I am taking this VERY personal!

My bank, Bank of America would not help me get back my money. I was forced to cancel my debit card and of course when the Bank of America fraud person called the company they actually answered the phone and stayed on the line! I explained that my card was not to be charged, the Bank of America fraud rep (who sounded like he was in India) would not assist in returning my money.

THANKS ALOT BANK OF AMERICA YOU SUCK!

IT IS A SCAM!
we started off with $1.99 and they ended up taking additional 150 dollars (75 + 75). We got the refund for one month, but they said coudn't waive off for one month that was already charged. When we got the credit card statement we were just charged for one month so how are we supposed to know they have charged us again. The lady we spoke to never cared to mention it either.

Anybody who's out there, who is inquisitive to know what is it all about, please refrain from joining.

Hi i have also been scammed by google revolution i have had two payments taken from my bank account by two of the scam companies netdollarssource and simplesearchcash both adding up to £92.13.

I cannot afford this am dont know who to get in touch with my bank have just told me the only way to stop this is by closing my bank account altogether and opening a new one. But that means getting all the companies that i have set dd up with to do it all again.

I have e mailed support@googlerevolutions.com but suprise suprise no reply. Anyone got any more info I could try. Would be appreciated. Thanks I am in Scotland. these two companies are meant to be in Ireland!

yes, I fell for the scam. I DID call on 6 seperate ocassions to cancell but they STILL hit my card for the $73.83 plus "international fee" of $2 and some change. Please use caution and DO NOT fall for the scam. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get your money back. They do not answer the e-mails, you can't get anyone at the phone number to help you and when I sent a letter to the address in Henderson, NV, it came back as undeliverable.

To get your subscription cancelled, e-mail them and tell them you have researched they'rs site and after discovering it was a scam reported it to the police. This doesnt get you a refund as they then give you an address to write to but it does get your subscription cancelled.

I am absolutely seething about this. Likewise because of the name Google I perceived this opportunity to be credible. Have just gone through bank statements and 4 payments have been taken out all of which use a different company name. This is now being investigated by the bank, VISA disputes forms etc. Makes me sick. Google you need to get on to this. Another scam is the Google lottery where you receive an email saying you have won 750, 000 or 850, 000. You reply to that email and get one back saying you need to contact their solicitors to verify your name, and account. You will then receive an email saying something like "as you are not a British subject you need to pay £395 for this money to be transferred to your bank". Yet again another scam! Just don't trust anyone. Pay cash for everything and never give your card details out to anyone again even if you think they are a trusted site. Who wouldn't think Google was safe! If you have been taken in by this scam, as I was, there is no way round this other than to cancel your card immediately.

I AGREE THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME. THEY LET ME CANCEL, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN MY MONEY. IT WAS AT 74.99, IT WAS A TOTAL SCAM.

this company should get sued they are crooks i have no idea how they got my info but i have never been on there site and payed 73.87 plus other charges i didnt know who was taking these small amounts until the 74 dollar charge enough that i wanted to know who was taking my money i called them and the people that work for them are stupid crooks to and they said that they wont give me my money back so i called there costmer service like 5 times a day honshu systems in nv ph [protected] this is the main office

Send all your reports by email, fax and mail to the FTC. FBI, Attorney General's office in your state, the ###'s state and the US Attorney General. If they get enough complaints they will go after these scam artist ###!

I got scammed by the Google fortune kit. It is also "Fun Web Profits". The e-mail address is https://www.processcartcenter.com/MTAxNjh8MjI2M3wzNjgwMTN8djI=/weqwn4b9/g. There phone # is [protected]. It is listed in small print in terms and conditions! Don't go to this site it's a scam.

I too was had by this scam that for a mere $2.00 seemed worth the risk of simply taking a look at during my down time at work. After signing up and reading about what I had to do I decided about 5 minutes later that it was a bunch of crap. Today i received a call from somebody asking if I wished to cancel my account. I had no idea that I was locked in to a $68 a month charge. She gave me a number for customer service to cancel the account and i was able to speak with someone to cancel the account, but not until they got $75 out of me for nothing.

That number is: [protected]

THIS IS A SCAM! Don't do it...I was hit with two charges within the same month of $73.83. I had not even visited the website...it required a log-in and password and I did not have one...they still would NOT refund my money. Just because Google's name is in there does not mean it is legitimate. I now question Google if they would hook up with crooks like this.

Karen

The only reason I got into this is because ABC NEWS did a story on them, and THEY recomended them
as the only legitimate work at home business out there! Was ABC NEWS on the take? how much money did
they make to promote this SCAM!

What does that say about ABC NEWS as a news organization? Someone please research what evenning the story
went on the air. Did anyone TIVO or video tape that story? That could become evidence in a criminal case.

The same thing happen to me, I though is was an opportunity to make money, then I found out that you
you were suppoused to own a web site, then my credit card statement arrived and I was charged $72.38
I contacted my credit card company and I am filling a complaint.

WOW, I can't believe what I have been reading here! I used one of those prepaid credit cards thank goodness, however I had a gentleman by the name of Steve called me back and asked if I had read all of the pertinent info that was on the site, Google Revolutions. I had read a good portion of it however felt pretty confident that I could return to the site as they provided me with a username and password...well surprise surprise it didn't work, I had mentioned that to "Steve" and he had advised to me to try again and call him back at the number that he called me from. Well I have done that and left a few messages! Well I understand now why I didn't get any response! Thank you so much about the heads up about this bogus opportunity! But I couldn't agree with others more, how does "Google" allow this company to go on doing this using their very reputable name? I will definitely be wiser in future...if its too good to be true it probably is! God Bless to everyone who has researched this info and passed it on to the rest of us!

This is a absolutely scam. I paid $1.87 at the first time because I was misleaded it is google. I read those terms and conditions carefully and click all "no" for the trail time. But after one week, my debit card was charged $73.83 without my permission for nothing. I called their offshore calling center and they refused to give my money back. I am filling claim form with my bank and trying to get my money back. This googlerevolution is trash.

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

hi,
i also got scammed by this and had £192 taken from my account within 1 month, i also have charges from 3 different companies such as moneyfast search.com, onlinegenius.net and webmoneymaker.com i have tried all the support email addresses which bounce back and the phone numbers which are unrecognised,
i dont know how to stop this

Hi Jlinks.
We in UK unfortunately got no help from the bank(s) (apart from some advice). They (the scam) were abusing my debit card, but the situation would have been no different if it was a credit card. I was charged 3 times the "subscription fees" by 3 different entities and everytime my bank was telling me to call first. So I was calling and e-mailing and I got my money back eventually.

About the bank - they told me, if a company that charged me said: ok, we send your money back.. - well, that's what we wanted and (luckily!) that's what happened.
But if the a.n. company insisted I did sign up (which wouldn't be true) and kept the money - the bank would't have event lift a finger. Unless the a.n. company admited they were connected with Googlerevolution (regarding two companies after the first subscription had been ended) and didn't want to send money back - ONLY THEN my bank would put the charge into dispute (and ridiculous enough, they would believe me in such case- me talking over the phone to the scamers and to them, while they wouldn't believe me saying I DID NOT authorise the transactions).

Oh, I spent a lot of time with my bank (debit card dpt) badgering, asking over and over - Why wouldn't you do anything?! I did not aiuthorise these! On what basis you're actually telling me that someone there is using my card with impunity, passing my details on and on and you can't do anything about it?! Are you actually saying that I'm lying?
They answered something about terms and conditions and that they had different cases of similar nature and lost a few so they don't even start the dispute if the case is not clear. The argument they've never seen Googlerevolution terms and conditions did not help. I personally think they are not prepared for such an extend of internet related swindles.
Well, finally I got somehow to them, and although they were insisting they can't help in any other way, they passed the problem on. A lady in my local bank branch helped me a lot, she actually helped me with blocking my old card and ordered a new one for me. And the bank decided to put one of the transactions to dispute.
But in the meantime I called the money back.
End of the story. For now. Quiescence since 2 July, but no peace of mind yet.

So don't give up! Call, e-mail, call, e-mail, call, e-mail. Ultimately there is always an address given on their websites. And while talking or writing to them - be firm and in case you talk to some deviant don't hesitate to threaten you're going to report a fraud.

I am in Canada, and I am wondering if there is anyone there that can help in Canadian rules and regulations?
My daughter fell victim to this scam, and has received absolutely NO help from her credit card company (although they "promise") and so they won't cancel her credit card! I, myself, can't call because it isn't MY credit card... She is thinking of giving up, and I am trying really hard to convince her to stick with it, but I can't seem to find anything about how to deal with thi in Canada...

...can someone please help here?

I was stupid enough to fall for this scam. however I did have my credit number changed and was able to cancel my account with Google Revolution. people should stay away from this. if it's too good to be true, it usually is! I'm still kicking myself for signing up for this..

I paid for this google thing. They told me that there would be 3 links in a bundle. I canceled them within a month. Last June there was still one of them showed up on my credit card statement. I called in to cancel that account and paid for the charge. I thought that it was end of it. This month I got my credit card statement I noticed that there are two more showed up and they are new. One is the clicksellgo and another is etaxhotline. I do not know if there is an end of this scam any more. I canceled my credit card and I am so sick of it. I work hard to make money and these stupid people just come and take money from my pocket. I was under the expression that this google revolution thing is under Goolge company. At least it was the reason I purchased the kit. I trusted the Google company and it is the result of this trust. Isn't that the Google company should come out and do something?

I had just signed up to receive more info about this money making scam. I did not realize, as with many other people it seems, that this was not legit. When I saw the name Google attached to this website, I thought for sure that this would be something worth looking into. I fear now that I will be taken advantage of, like so many other people has, because I gave out my card info. Thanks to everyone for the heads up. I too will be cancelling my card and have another one issued.

Why is it Google's fault when people fall for what is obviously a scam? People need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. Yes, these Web site operators are ### of the earth, but it's not Google's fault that you thought you were going to make $900 a day by spending $1.87 on some site.

goodluck to those victimized by these wonderful parasitic jujubee bananaheads.

DEFINITELY A SCAM! Only $1.87 to get in. Someone will call you but won't divuldge their number but only wanted to confirm you enrolled and wanted your CreditCard number that you used online.

You asked for their company name and number and they won't give to you. And what happens next is they will automatically charge your card without your approval for $73.83.

Off shore call center is outside USA, believe it's in Phils. The company and policy are scammy.

File all your complaints with the FTC right away. They have taken actions against other Google money making schemes. Infusion Media out of Utah was in the realm of Google many scams.

Sometimes it doesn't stop there. Instead of letting you go the trial period these scammers will phone you and offer their making money at home internet marketing and coaching business. They smoke it up so much you have nothing to lose. That's how I got myself in the mess costing me thousands of $$$$$$$.

Thrive Learning Institute was the hub in this deal. DO NOT have anything to do with Google, Thrive Learning Institute or Infusion Media AKA Accelerated Business Solutions.

By the way, your complaining does help. Recently Thrive Learning Institute received a cease and desist order from within the state of Utah where they were abusing the law
