Have you gotten scammed by Emillionarie :( *~*
Beware of this scam!
I saw an opportunity to make some extra money with Google Search - the Ad was Google Profit and it cost $1.95 to have the CD and instructions sent. Thought it sounded okay! Well a minute after I put in my bank account information I went to my bank account and found a charge of $48.41 by EMILLIONAIREMBA plus I received another charge for $1.95 which is all I agreed too from the start.

What could this $48.41 be for and how come I have not received anything for this $48.41 from Emillionarie nor have I received the CD and instructions that I agreed to buy for $1.95

By the looks of this page and Others this scam has been presented under many different names all going back too or passing by “BROCK FELT”. Brock Felt’s Emillionarie Coaching, emillionairemiddleman.com, emillionairemogul.com, millionaire.net, emillionaireofthemonth.com, emillionaire.org, emillionairetraining.com and Emillionarie Instutie.com and there are other names they use too. If you know of one not listed feel free to add it so no one else have-to be scammed.

I have talked with my bank to recover all my money from this scam which they say is a good chance I will get my money back. I’m glad there are web sites that allows the truth to be told on scam web-sites. Wish me luck and KEEP THE LOVE ALIVE said secondson2002

This company is run by someone called Brock Felt.

Sara and everybody who find themselves wanting their money back, go to your bank and have them get your moneys back. The bank will refund you and they the bank will go after EMillionaire.com for removing funds not authorized. Most all banks will do this for their customers . My bank gave me back my money and they are left to fight with EMillioaire, a bank carries a biger stick than you or I and will get the money back.

I don't know how they got my account information, but they deducted $47.00 (US) from my account without my knowledge and permisssion twice.. I have called both companies emillionaire.com and CPIpay.com. They said they will refund me my money back. I have filed a complaint against this company to the FBI and DOJ. I will be going to see my local FBI, too, regarding this matter and plan to seek the help of a lawyer.

I gave permission for them to take $1.90 for shipping and $170.00 for program. They took $3.00 for shipping and $250 for the program, and there is nothing I can do about it. We, should be able to do something! But I am sure I will never see that money again.

I paid by VISA $2+, then I found out, it is a Scam. I guess the $2+ was
only a small tuition fee. Lucky, that I did not go for the full amount
of approximately around $200.00

Google should ban this type of fake advertising on it's Websites.
They damage Google's integrity and reputation.

This is one man's Opinion...

company misrepresented themselves and were to deduct $1.95 from my account. When I realized that nothing was forthcoming and that it was a scam, I called to be sure that my name would not even be on their e-mail list. I took the name and date of the person I spoke to. (There was NEVER any mention of any additional funds being deducted). Then a few weeks later, a charge of $ 47.00 was deducted from my account. I called and was told that they were sorry and in 5 days my account would be credited. Again, I took name.
To date, still no credit to my account!
This is outragous.

I was on facebook and responded to an emillionaire add. I started process to sign up but the registration did not accept debit cards...required credit card so i aborted the registration after my debit card was declined. 1 month later on my bank statement there were charges made by emillionaire $47 plus charges my bank made for exchange rate and having insufficient funds=£28 plus £35 for going over overdraft plus 2 charges @ $1.95 processing fees from emillionaire. in total approx £110 out of pockect and not received a thing from emillionaire. i have sent countless emails because the contact numbers provided are none existing and all i get is auto responses via email. if anyone has a number for them i would be very grateful.

Eh, if you are simple enough to buy into these fortune promising scams, then you deserve to lose your money. Just because something is advertised by Google, doesn't make it legit. Anyone can purchase advertising from them.

My cousin is an attorney and if I do not recieve my $47.00 I will be contacting him plus I will contact pnewspapers and magazines everywhere and have them do articles on this scam. It is fraud and I will make sure that everyone everywhere knows this if my money is not returned within 24 hours. I put money on my card to pay a bill and all I did was look at a web site on health and beauty and you stole my money. I did not even order anything. I will contact T.V. shows like Oprah and give her the information on you Brock Felt and how you are scamming innocent people out of their money. If I do not get my money this will go nation wide and that is a promise that I will be keeping. By the way have you ever heard of a place called HELL because that is where you are going you can't live forever and you can't take it with you!

Emillionaire is a big scam - you need to report them to the FTC ad to the Florida Attorney General.

See: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/base/thread?tid=731ed5d8320c6794&hl=en

Also cancel your card and ask your bank for a chargeback on the fraudulent charges!

emillionaire has scammed the visa prepaid card for a 39.00 plus two $29.00 charges that were unauthorized to be paid. A complaint has been logded with netspend who allowed the charges after a $1.95 charge was made to cover shipping of a CD that emillionaire ships. Originally Susan works from home .com convinced me to work for google posting links to websites a legit way to earn extera money. It got switched to emilli9naire wbsite and the sign-in had in fine print that a 47.00 per month fee applied to members. The page flipped so quickly that it was hard to read that fine print before submitting a credit number to allow the fee for S&H.
I cancelled right away after reviewing the link emillionaire described as an e commerce business they help get started for you with the paid help of their webmasters. Then emillionaire sent a confirmation e-mail cancelling the account. Later called our home and my brother said yes it is okay to keep the account. I said well do you want to pay 47.00 a month. He said no then called them back and said cancel.They cancelled then charged this money in three different amounts anyway. A dispute has been lodged and they should be ashame dto ocnduct such a farce against people barely able to make it each month in this hard to get a JOB economic depression. I am sure they are liars and thieves of people for which one day they will answer for to GOD.

Go to emillionaire.com and click on the support button. There is a number that you can call to speak with them. Let them know you didn't authorize any future payments and you demand your money back. Tell them you will speak with the Better Business Bureau and contact the Federal Trade Commission. I would definitely seek council and see what your options are. They can't be allowed to continue to take advantage of innocent people. I managed to catch it in time when they did that to me and I threatened them with the above and they are now saying they will refund me within 24 hours. We'll see if it actually happens and if I need to take further action.

I did the same thing. I had ordered this thinking it would only cost me $1.95 and on March 6th 2009, I notice $60+ was taken off my visa. Well, let me tell you, I didn't sit back and take this lightly. I called them to cancel. The guy told me that I already passed the 10 day period of being able to be refunded and after yelling at him saying I didn't know there was going to be a future payment nor would there be a 10 day refund period, I mentioned I was going to contact the Federal Trade Commission and have them deal with it. I guess that made him nervous (I can't forget to add in that I was hung up on 3 times before this conversation) and he put it in my "file." The next time I called about 2 weeks later when I noticed no change to my visa, the woman told me it was a "computer technical problem" and my money was "accidentally" taken out. She guaranteed a refund of the missing money in 5 to 7 days. Well, again after not seeing any change on my visa, I called back and another woman told me she would put my inquiry through to the accountant. Well, I lost it saying I was told I would be refunded and I'm tired of calling them constantly to get back the money that is mine. She finally said that I would be refunded within 24 hours. I am now waiting until tomorrow to see if there is any change. If there isn't, I will immediately contact the Federal Trade Commission and make a complaint. I had to do this once before for Pedipaws because they had sent me not 1 but 2 orders that I had previously cancelled.

Do not be fooled by these idiots into thinking you can't do anything because you can.

I too was scammed by emillionaire. I have been writing emails to them for a month wanting a refund as they took $47 out of my account after i had cancelled with them. I kept getting stupid emails back saying they needed my contact details, then i would get another saying they will refund me 7-10 working days, so i'd wait then email again asking where it was just to get another email saying they needed my contact information! It kept going round in circles, i tried ringing the numbers they sent me but they didn't work, but eventually i found a number from someone who had a complaint and now have spoken to a woman who says i will get my refund in 48 hours and not be charged again so hopefully thats the end of it!

Here's the number if you don't have it :- [protected]

it is a complete scam, fraud or whatever label you want to put on it. i was charged 1.97 and never got anything so i thought i didn't order it. low and behold after trial period that i didn't know i was in in another 39.95 came out. i called their number and complained and cancelled my so called membership. i was out 39.95 and 1.97, hard lesson to learn but i learned it. i have never done this because i knew everyone was a scam but the 1.97 caught my eye. the bbb should definately put this company on their scam list, if they have one. i would like to meet brock felt in person, although it is probably a made-up name.

Emillionaire is a scam! I too was suckered in by the $1.95 to get the CD and instructions, even though my gut feeling was that it wasn't to be trusted. Then the $47.00 payment came out of my account, followed by another one a couple of weeks later. My bank is hopefully going to refund the money but in the meantime I have the hassle of cancelling my card. I haven't received any replies to emails either.

Has anyone had any success getting a refund from them? I'm not optimistic but I guess it's worth a try!

These people should be dealt with with steep punishment. True the initial amount is small ($1.95) but how dare they debit one's credit card but who knows how much the succeeding amount are going to be and how many time they will STEAL from innocent . Oh and mind you despite telling them that it was a fraudulent charge and not of one's doing the amount is "non refundable" ...CRAZE THieves!

This company is such a scam! Like everyone else I took a look of this web they ask me for my account just to send me a CD, well I never got any CD and I just found today they charge my account 47.00, So after hours trying to find a number for this company I talk to some lady that pretty much told me I am stupid because they told me some where they will charge me every month. She even say maybe someone else did it for me liek a fraud, but I only have 7 days to cancel and it is to late. So, I never got anything and I paid 50 dollars.

I checked this out and this a scam but not a fraud. These losers always crop up in hard times, as there are a lot of people desperate for money.

You are fooled into ordering the "get rich quick" scheme for $1.95, this is a small amount, so catches a lot of people. I checked this out using a pre-payment card, not a credit card and used an account that only had a few dollars in it. If anyoine attempted to take more money the bank wouldn't authorise it on this type of card.

When you pay the money you are taken to another page, it has a warning on it "warning this page shows once only". This makes it impossible to go back and find out what you authorised unless you pay ANOTHER £1.95 There are then 5 pages of sales pitch about how wonderful the product is and how you can make a $100, 000 whicle drinking cofffee blah blah blah, tells you absolutely nothing about what it is.

Now you have been led think you have already ordered the info pack, but if you read the instructions carefully (which a lot of people do not) the actually proce is $197.00, at the bottom of the blurb is an order form with an "order" or "cancel" button, if you read the blurb carefully you would know that by clicking on the "order" button you are authorising $197.00 from your card fomr the details you have already entered. If you click "order" you have legally authorised this payment, legally it is not fraud, you may not be able to make a fraud claim with your bank.

The thing to remember is that the advantage of the internet is no9t that it is possible to get rich quick, the advantage is it is relatively cheap to set up, so a lot more people can do it. It's just as hard to promote and sell the product, there is no short cut.

Also try contacting him via Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Brock-Felt/1074755489

STEP 2:
Report the scam to:

FTC
http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm

The Internet Crime Complaint Center

http://www.bbb.org/

STEP 3:
Contact your credit card company to report the issue, request a chargeback on all payments and cancel your card.

I to was scamened by emillionaire. To get started it was only $1.95, why not. I received nothing in the mail. Then There was an unauthorized withdrawl on my checking account. I called the 800# that was on the withdrawl. I did manage to get through to some stupid chick. Of course I was pissed as hell and told them I want my money back. She told me I would receive a full refund and it would take 5 to 7 days. Whatever! I called my bank told them what had happened, that I was a victiam of a internet scam. They said this happens alot. Makes sence though, I meen the way the economy is right now, people need extra cash and little time to make it. I cancelled my credit card. Not mention when they took the money out of checking account it overdrew my account. Ouch! It was March 9th when they told me it would be 5 to 7 days. Still waiting, guess I might be waiting awhile. I plan to post things like this whever I can. Beware of Brock Felt and Margilife.

This Emillionaire.com is a HUGE! SCAM!, My wife and I were like everyone else, why not for $1.95, then after all that we figured out it was a scam, We tried to contact them via email, everything was delivery failure, so we called and called and just like everyone else here, we got the run around, well they have 48 hrs to refund the money, and at the same time, we had our Credit cards reissued, but we have also contacted the FBI ( internet fraud ) department, and also the Federal Trade Commission.
