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 ?

Hey, I just discovered CLICKSELLANDGO charge on my bank statement today. How annoying - and I really kind of believed this could be over, when I cancelled my "membership" with GoggleRevolution and received my money back.
Trying to call my bank but all lines are occupied. I'm reporting a fraud.

Also today I've got an e'mail from ETax Hotline saying:
"...We hope you are enjoying your unlimited access to e-tax hotline, America's foremost accounting system. This email is to inform you that your trial is nearly complete and that your credit card will soon be processed so that you can continue to take advantage of this amazing product"...

Wrote an e-mail back immediately saying that i never signed up or wanted this membership or access or whatever it is they're going to charge me for.
"So before you do anything to my bank account, please be sure that I would be reporting that as a fraud - I have never authorised any transactions with you nor revealed my card details.
If this has anything to do with Googlerevolution (whose membership I never wished but was made into and - is finished long ago) that paints you black as well.
Thus, please END and CANCELL any access to your services or websites or whatever you could mean, immediately."
..and hope this will help.

Now will see how my bank acts - last time the Debit Car dept wasn't very helpful making me myself trying to get the money back, saying that cancelling my card would not help (as it was a subscription and membership thing, so it would go on even with card details changed) and if it happens again after I cancelled - then they will charge back and investigate. Now I'm only afraid they are going to say "it's not the same, its another membership.."
I'm freaking out, gosh.

EVERYBODY BEWARE

If you even bothered to have http://www.safe-surfing.info/ you would of known as it's in the list of malware/scam sites..

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

I called on today, (the last day of the 7-Day trial) and could not get anyone on the telephone even though they claimed their hours were 6 am to 10 pm eastern time. In fact I just called them now, and still did not get a response. So my question is to all hot shots who think that this program is not a scam? How can you disconitue the trial if they do not answer the phone? It is a scam, and I intend to get my money back.

Here are the real 'Terms and Conditions' for 'Google Revolution'

Google Revolution - Terms and Conditions / Terms of Use
Thank you for your interest in Google Revolution, a subscription-based online education and information program provided by Google Revolution
For an ongoing subscription fee, you'll gain full access to powerful information about opportunities with Google, updated weekly, as well as training and other related information available via the Google Revolution website. Your membership to Google Revolution will provide valuable information on how to make money with Google.
As more fully described below, following your risk-free 7-day trial, you'll be charged the monthly subscription fee of $73.83. You'll have 7 days from your initial signup date to access and use the Google Revolution member website without charge. Your free trial provides instant online access to the foreclosed property feed and the information & training available at the Google Revolution site, and does not require the free kit being shipped to you – your free trial begins immediately. If you're not satisfied for any reason, and cancel within the initial 7-day trial period, you will not be charged $73.83 for your first month’s membership. After your initial 7-day risk-free trial, your subscription will automatically renew approximately every 30 days from the date you signed up (see MEMBERSHIP TERM AND RENEWAL, below). You can cancel any time after the 7-day risk-free trial period, in which case you won't be refunded that month's subscription charge, but you will have member access through the end of the month, and you will not be billed again.
The Google Revolution details and terms of membership are provided below, so please take a minute to review them before you sign up.

1. Offer, Payment and Billing Terms and Conditions
A. MEMBERSHIP TERM AND RENEWAL: The initial risk-free trial term is 7 days. If you do not choose to cancel your membership during the free trial period, you will be charged the monthly subscription fee of $73.83. Membership automatically renews roughly every 30 days, so you will be charged once a month for site access every 30 days beginning at the end of your free trial period forward. You are financially responsible for all associated subscription fees until Google Revolution receives notice of cancellation via email, or by telephone to our customer service department, as shown below.
B. CANCELLATION POLICY: You may cancel your subscription after your initial registration. To cancel, you must call [protected]. Due to record keeping restrictions, we are unable to process cancellations using any other method. All access to the member website is logged and stored by Google Revolution. Because access to the website is granted as a membership in a training and informational online resource, money paid for membership is not refundable after the customer has logged into the site.
By signing up to become a member of Google Revolution, you'll be charged the monthly subscription fee of $73.83. You'll have 7 days from your initial signup date to try out the member website -- if you're not satisfied for any reason, and cancel within the initial 7-day trial period, you will not be charged for your first month membership fee. If you cancel your membership during the risk-free trial period, your account will be terminated, and you will no longer have access to the member website. You can cancel any time after the 7-day risk-free trial period, in which case you won't be refunded that month's subscription charge, but you will have member access through the end of your billing cycle, and will not be billed again. If you cancel within the 7-day risk-free trial period or, if you are refunded for all or a portion of your subscription charge at any point, Google Revolution reserves the right to terminate your account either immediately, or at the end of the then current billing month. When your account is terminated, you will no longer have access to the member site. There is no minimum membership period.
Upon cancellation and account termination, Google Revolution, in its sole discretion, shall have the right but not the responsibility to delete all of the account information provided by you. If you are entitled to a refund, you will receive any refund due as a credit to the same credit card that was charged initially. Google Revolution has no ability or responsibility to refund money in any way other than back to the credit card that was charged at the time of subscription billing.
For your 7-day risk-free trial, you will not be entitled to a refund of shipping & handling fees if you choose to cancel your subscription. If you wish to cancel your membership, your cancellation request must be received by Google Revolution in accordance with this policy before midnight (11:59 pm) MST time on the day before your subscription renews. GR will confirm receipt and processing of your cancellation request via email. Google Revolution is under no obligation to cancel your account or provide any refund unless your cancellation request is actually received in accordance with this policy.
C. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: Membership will automatically renew every 30 days. Membership will renew on the day after the initial membership term ends, and renew on approximately the same date each month thereafter. You may cancel your subscription at any time in accordance with Section B above. There is no minimum number of months that you must purchase. Cancellations must be made in accordance with the instructions in Section B above. Cancellations received via any method other than email, or by calling our toll-free customer support number, will not be honored.
Your credit card will be automatically charged on a monthly basis for as long as you remain a Member. You agree that Google Revolution is not obligated to send you any renewal or advance billing notices indicating that your credit card will be, or has been, charged.
Your right to use the site is conditional. If payment cannot be charged or if a charge is refunded for any reason, including chargeback, we reserve the right to immediately and without notice, either suspend or terminate your access and account, thereby terminating all of Google Revolution's obligations under this Agreement. You are required to pay any amounts still owed to us at the time your account is suspended or terminated, and you could be sent to collections to recover money owed for services rendered and software utilized.

As for the unauthorised charges - get on the phone to your credit card company asap and get them to do a chargeback on any and all unauthorised charges.

Please beware of Google Revolution!

I (like a lot of people on here) saw the name 'Google' and having just been made redundant thought why not try to earn myself some money online, as i'm pretty good with computers etc. So i input my visa details and £1.19 (1.87USD) was immediately taken from my account.
However as previously mentioned i'm also not hugely passionate about any one subject enough to start my own blog; so i cancelled 2 days into the initial 7-day trial by emailing- support@googlerevolution.com. I had to send the identical email 3 times before i got a reply simply saying: Hi, Your order ID **** has been cancelled.

Now this was back at the start of June, and as i'd received notice of my cancellation i thought that was that.

HOW WRONG COULD I BE!

I was checking my online bank account just now, and yesterday £23.02 (37.63USD) was taken in the name of 'clicksellgo'. I had no idea who this company was and how the hell they'd managed to get access to my visa details- until i searched on (ironically) Google and found that both companies are linked.

So 20 days after the initial charge from 'Google Revolution was withdrawn, i now have an unauthorised charge of £23.02 and i'm at a loss about what to do.
I have emailed the customer service team at 'ClickSellGo' and hopefully will get a response, but i guess the next step is to cancel my visa card- how annoying!

I will update with the developments of this mess.

I was scammed also with this B.S. There is a guy that operates their accounts. It is some type of contracting agency that monitors their transactions for the googlerevolution.com web site. I contact him and he informed me that he just got the contract to monitor their income and he has nothing to do with the company itself. His information is below, call him and harass him until you get satisfaction because he knows more than he leads a customer to believe. I am going to wait until my pending transaction hit and then file a Federal Regulation E report and I am contacting the Attny General's office and file a formal complaint. GOOGLE oughta be ashamed of theirselves for allowing this bogus company to use any part of their name. I am starting a web site to "black out" google and see if this will change their thoughts about anything. I will come back with the web site name and please sign the petition to "black out" google web site!

You should also be aware of any charges for Blazingword which also showed up on my credit card statement after I responded to an ad on Facebook. I refused to order the kit after the $1.99 initial fee. I received several phone calls telling me that I needed the kit and I said "no" every time. I just cancelled my card and am waiting for a fraud report form to fill out.

Hi: Hopefully this is my last comment on this matter. I was finally reimbursed AGAIN, plus an international transaction fee of $2.21 (I didn't even realize they charged me that!) In the meantime I have received numerous "Google" offers under the disguise of various company names, as well as individuals, namely "Jennifer". I hope all of you are as successful as I have been, I am sure if the fraud department of your bank is seeking reimbursement of funds, they will quickly do so. Good luck.

This is a total scam- agreed. I saw the name Google and thought it must be legit...I have never fallen for a scam before and I should have tried calling the phone number before signing up, and also noticed that their was no TM symbol next to the name, but didnt. 3 days into the "7 day trial period", I just tried calling the # and it kept telling me that all circuits were busy. So, I tried emailing them and they bounced back telling me to call the #. I responded back saying the number doesnt work and immediately went to my bank (Chase), with the terms of agreement printed out for them and had the bank take care of it. They somehow where able to get a hold of them and forced them to cancel my membership. When I got back to my email, there was a cancelation notice with a comfirmation number from Google Revolution. The Chase rep told me if anything else showed up on my account, to come back and he would take care of it immediately. I'm just glad I had this cancelled before they started charging me the $73.83 every month. I ended up eating the $1.83 that they charged for the initial 7 day trial, plus an additional "foreign international transaction fee", that showed up in my account (only .04), which seemed shady as well! But that was not a big deal.

Like I said, I've never fallen for a scam before, but somehow when I read the initial "article" that a link took me too, it looked like it was an article from "The Detroit News/Free Press", they used the same font to intenionally play tricks on your eyes...

I learned my lesson I guess!

Yeah, I heard a lot of bad things about Thrive Learning Insitute.

See: http://www.work-at-home-forum.com/14_8845_0.html

Hey everyone!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE!

Inbetween all of these complaints sits a big ad for...

THRIVE LEARNING INSTITUTE

THEY ARE BIG TIME SCAMMERS and they are looking to steal more money from you innocent people. I know because I got involved with them through signing up for a GOOGLE PRO KIT.

STAY AWAY FROM Thrive Learning Institute, Infusion Media, Accelerated Business Solutions, Unity Marketing, Platinum Training Solutions, Internet Auction Solutions, Concepts Execution...these are call centers feeding into Thrive. That's why they are called Thrive because their aim is to thrive on you! Their solution is promise you a rose garden, but give you thistles.

call this # [protected] they helped me! Try them

I called this [protected] and I got this guy who couldn't find me eighter so then I called [protected] and spoke to this kid named Zack I told him to cancel my account and he will send me a confermation email. Zack does not know what that 1st number was for but he said he would call WTF now I have to worry about my card being charged! Thanks for all the info about this company I would have never had known. So if you all need a number to call, call the 2nd # I gave you they can find you they found me no problem.

I can not believe there has been no action to stop this scam. Google really needs to be aware of this and do something about it. I nearly joined up with this and almost didn't read the Terms and Conditions first. I did however and sure enough all the bs they cram into their terms tipped me off right away. I didnt send my credit info thank goodness. This is sick and to use Google's Trademark name and logo's on their site should be an easy court case against these jerks. Google needs to take care of this. Not only google but they also used all those television networks logo's as well. This is sad and scary. GOOGLE PLEASE DO SOMETHING

hi my name is willie and also i have been taken for a ride by this so call people of google revolution they are nothing but a bunch of crooks and need to be uncover i hope law will punish these people and lock them in jail where they belong

And really if everyone in the US can make $8000 a month and all the ridiculous amounts these ads say why would anyone work real jobs? The only ones getting rich are the ones stealing from people. It's like pyramid schemes or ponzi schemes only all online now

Oh and with mine they never sent me any cd or info and then charged me $79 after 2 days

The people posting OH IT's SO GREAT and it works are full of crap. It probably works because they set up their own websites to steal money from people too. It's total lies. I got ripped off too and kept getting non speaking english people that read off cards and also note the live chat isnt really live. Its a program that just gives canned responses to your questions same as the people at the call center in INdia or Mexico.

PLUS: Maybe you read some of the above posts, dear Briget, some have been charged the $70 ish before the 7 day trial was even over, after 6 days, in my case - 5 days after "signing up".
PLUS: The link to "Terms and Conditions" as well as "Gain Acces to your Kit" received within the red welcome notice led to nowhere, and terms and conditions found on the googlerevolution site say you have to cancel 8 days before they charge your membership fee.

How does this apply to honesty and legitimacy?

Dear Canadian Bridget - Of Course it IS a scam. It is fraudulent, deceptive and illegal.

The terms and conditions are hidden on a seperate page - the sign up page and payment page do not mention them at all. That is ILLEGAL as it is against FTC regulations about clear disclosure.

The way they describe the offer is fraudulent and deceptive too. "posting links on Google" - there's no such thing.
Google does not give people links. Google AdSense is a service which provides website publishers with code which will produce ads on their web pages or blogs. Google AdWords are text ads buyers pay Google for which will then run on AdSense enhanced pages.

The description of what is involved is totally innaccurate, misleading and deceptive.

The income claims are totally unrealistic: $200 - $943 per day - NOT likely!

You said "if this program works for you which it does seem to do for many people" - really? Who are these "many people"? Please provide some proof of these claims!

Anyone can join Google adsense for free and there is plenty of free information online about how to start a blog or website and earn income from it.

Conclusion. Google Revolution IS a SCAM. Period.

First of all you all need to actually READ the terms of agreement when you give your credit card information. In my opinion you have nothing to complain about. I just joined Google revolution yesterday because it only cost just under $2 for the kit and I figured I had nothing to loose. In the terms it states that you get a 7 day trail which is basically what the $2 is for. If you still want to continue with it than you don’t have to contact them and if they don’t hear from you within the 7 days that you want to cancel, it clearly states that you will be under subscription and will be charged $70 ish every month. Now if this program works for you which it does seem to do for many people $70 for a subscription is nothing at all. Here is how it works:
I sent them an email asking if they could verify the below but they didn’t get back to me in the 14 or so hours I waited before I canceled so if the below isn’t a perfect description forgive me. For the $2 7 day trial you get an online "kit"- basically a username and password to their site which is where you get all your training. From what I understood for the program to work for you, you need to either create a blog or a website and then generate revenue by getting companies selling similar products to what your blog or site is about to let you put their ads up on your site. If someone visits your site and clicks on the companies add you display you get x amount of $ depending on your deal with them. It could be just when someone clicks on the link or it could be if those people actually buy their product.
I just called their cancellation # that you can find in their terms of agreement [protected]) for 2 reasons. First it seems that anyone can do this on their own so why pay for it? I could start up my own blog or website without their help but if you have no idea how to then their tutorials on how to do it would be helpful. Second I'm not passionate about anything or don’t have a tiny little business like making necklaces to even know what I would make my blog or website about. So I called the # mentioned above and was sent a cancelation confirmation by e-mail within 5 minutes. If I waited to cancel on the 8th day I would have been charged the $70ish for the month and then I wouldn't get anymore charges after that- it is that simple. Always check to see how long you have to cancel before signing up- the people that run Google Revolution need to make money as well so don’t blame them for the fact that you didn't read what they told you to read.
Google Revolution is Not a scam- its a legitimate way for you and that company to make money. But you do have to do your homework before you sign up to any work at home job. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS READ THE TERMS OF USE! If you don't and then complain about it it is your fault and your fault only.
That being said I would have continued with the program if I was passionate enough about one subject to write about it. However if you love to talk about cars, food, computers, sports or any other subject out there I would tell you to look into this at least for the first 7 days to see if its something you would like to do. After all it only costs just under $2 to find out if this is for you. And if it isn't than remember to cancel within the 7 days.
Thank you if you made it all the way through my rant
My name is Bridget and I AM Canadian (ON)!
LOL :)

I ran across the google revolution ad when I was filling out surveys at http://rewardshout.com

Most of the websites that offer these kind of things are a scam. I am very dissapointed. There has to be something that we can do tos shut them down and stop them forever.

I wonder if Google knows that these people are using their name to scam everyone. If not we should let them know.

Well, I have just been scamed too. I emailed them to cancel and they sad the account cannot be canceled by email and gave me a phony U.S tel no instead (quite expensive calling from the U.K.) which is always engaged. After searching the net I found you guys and took action immediately, stopping my credit card. Furthermore, I sent them another email, saying I can't get through on the no given and I will refer this matter to the fraud department. Guess what, less than 24 hours later I have had three emails back (all from different email acounts) saying that my google revolution account has now been canceled. Success I guess!?!

i too have fell in this google revoultion scam so far i have lost almost £50.00 an im still awaiting my starter pack.but cant get in touch with the tossers to find out whats goin on.i have left emails with them and also tried to contact them via phone but the numbers they give aint in use.
im not working at present an this is a lot of money for me to loose.i have contacted my bank today an they told me this could take up to 3months to be sorted and also i need to change my debit card but they cant be sure that no more money will be taken from account.
im so angry about this an cant belive i feel for it but hindsights a great thing.i just wish that the laws about this kinda thing was more helpfull as now im faced with the worry an stress for up to 3months.if any1 knows any details about theese crooks please drop me a comment

I encourage everyone to go to this site http://howigetcash.com/google-cash/?p=3&cpage=1#comment-62

Leave your comments like the ones above to help prevent others from going through what we all are. Lets keep others from having the problems we are having with this scam.

I joined yesterday and cancelled today. I can't afford to be RIPPED OFF. There is no mention of further charges AT ALL I just struck my as weird that the site offers a trail period but fail to mention how much you will be charged after the 7 day trail period. I cancelled my bank card. TODAY ! SHAME ON YOU taking people money. Just imagine how much they are making charging .99 to 1.89 for information. I tried to log back into the site to contact someone their but the site is down. GO FIGURE !

There is some more information on the Google Revolution Scam at this website which has investigated it:

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

You may not believe this: THEY CREDITED MY ACCOUNT WITH THE PREVIOUS CHARGE AND IMMEDIATELY DEBITED MY ACCOUNT AGAIN! I had already blocked the old card, however, they were able to slip through the crack. Citi Bank, per my request, is initiating a fraud investigation and they are monitoring my account. I have never seen such devious behavior in my life. I have also contacted www.ic3.gov and filled out all the paperwork online. My frustration level has gone through the roof and I swear, if I could get my hands on these ### it would be justifiable homicide. Do not, and I repeat, do NOT ever order anything online unless it is from a reputable and secure company.

I am with everyone on this page. I saw the ad for the so called Google Revolution and it said a seven "FREE" trial. Well on th 6th day I found that I had a charge pending on my account from a site "ckcardmoneyawaits.com" for $73.83, well I never authorized this so I immediately contacted my bank. I also tried the Google Revolution Support phone number and like everyone else could not get through.

Since it is a Saturday they say it's after hours and call back monday. I also have sent emails to them advising to cancel the account and that I was charged for something that was supposedly free for 7 days on the 6th day. I have demanded they drop the pending charge and will see what happens. This has left me completely broke until I can get this resolved.

Good luck to everyone and I will post whatever the outcome is and who I have to go through to get it taken care.

I keep trying the phone number to cancel, and a voice asks me for my passcode. I don't believe I recieved a passcode. I can't find one anywhere. I gave my credit card number on friday, so I still have the 7 day free trial. Can some one please help me?

What a huge hassle! Folks should contact their AG's consumer protection offices about this. I'm right now in the middle of trying to get the charge reversed. Had to cancel my card, call all the other legitimate business who autopay to my card so I don't get charged by them...This SUCKS!

It's a SCAM and they say they will refund the money and send you an e-mail but neither the e-mail or the refund has arrived in my case!

Guys: You may not believe this, I got another ad from "Google", this time for $1.88. This time I did read all the way to the bottom of the ad ad it states in VERY small writing that Google, CNN CBS, etc. are not affiliated with the ad, although the eye catcher is Google in VERY large letters. How frigging deceptive. BE AWARE

Cancel your card to prevent further charges NOW!

See if your bank can REVERSE the charges, if under 30 days, that is what mine is trying to do!

PLEASE SEE>>> Google Money Master — fraudulent advertiseing

This scam is circulating under several different names but they ALL trace back to the same company, blazingkeywords.com ! They all contain a reference to Google in some form or another and usually report the individuals as living close to your location having made a bunch of money with this program/method. I'd suggest all report them to here, the "Internet Crime Complaint Center" as I did. The address is as follows.
