The most efficient and effective way to throw a monkey wrench into this Internet profit gene scam machine.

Steps to Take to Recover Your Money
1. Cancel your credit or debit card--Get a new card with new number! Your financial information has been compromised and you will be getting further debits to that card, If not now then they could come back later when you are unaware. This scam is refining into a form of "Identity theft" as your financial information is being traded to other cohorts without your permission or knowledge.
2. File a fraud charge with your credit card or bank and let them sort it out by doing a chargeback. They have more muscle to go after this sort of crime. Explain to them about all the consumer complaints that are on the internet and "insist" that they do charge-back or file a fraud charge. Your bank or credit card organization has all the tools necessary to find out where the charges are coming from, what business is involved, addresses and phone numbers connected to the charge and etc. You may not know or have access to this information. The banks and credit card org have all this at their fingertips and are obligated to handle the problem that has resulted.

3. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Their job is to monitor and go after these types of scams.

4. File a complaint with your state Attorney General and also with the Attorney General of Utah (where a lot of the phone numbers and addresses seem to be located)
5. Filing a complaint with the BBB is toothless as the scam already is rated with a "F".
6. File complaint at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx This is a place to report internet crime and is a combination gov agency of FBI, White collar Crime and Bureau of Justice Assistance.
7. After you filed with all the above agencies feel free to call any numbers you may possess that are connected to the "unauthorized charges" to try and recover all your money but take their word with a grain of salt. Don't hesitate to let them know what you have done or intend to do as they need to be shown that you mean business! If you succeed in getting your money returned you will have still taken steps to put their scam out of commission.

Every word is true, having report over $118.00 in fradulent charges to my bank last week. Today I receive a letter back from the bank stating that they have done a review of the documentation obtained from the merchant (Internet Profit Gene), covering these transactions. They have concluded that these charges are valid. I don't know what was supposedly purchased, have not idea. I do belive they trade accounts with other crooks! Am not taking this answer as final. Fraud - plain and simple!
Dear sir,
I need to report that I have been scammed out of a lot of money, anyway its a lot of money to me. I try to live on Social Security. I went on the internet to try to find something I could do on the computer to make just a few extra dollars. I didn't make any money, but I had to pay. They lead me to believe I would be charged just 1.95 and another 1.97. They took these two and then they took { 81.32} +{72.21} + {9.34} + {38.34} + {13.42} I got mean enough to get back the {9.34} and {13.42}. But they still owe me 191.87 For the large debits, and I feel like they owe me the 1.95 and 1.97 because I haven't gotten anything from them.Their company name is Internet Profit Gene. I believe I have this name who might be connected to this.
Liz Lynch. I got her email address from their site. That address is:
liz@lizlynchltd.com
