Hopefully, some of that will help - especially, read the blog at the last link. Although the names of the scam are different, they operate the same, and that person has links to places where you can get help.

Fraud. Google doesn't give away money like that.
This has nothing to do with google.
Google doesn't charge anything for their services. Whoever you paid for that product wasn't associated with Google or AdSense.
You need to cancel your account wherever you signed up for it.
Most of these places actually DO have this information in their terms of service in small print. There's plenty of websites out there using the google name to catch people like you, but none of them are affiliated with Google.
Kinda bad to blame all shopper's drug marts because you don't like the service at one. We use shopper's drug marts and haven't had this problem with any of them. In fact we had one prescription refilled at another drug store all together (ben's pharmacy). They just took the prescription from the pill bottled and called shopper's for a transfer.
Maybe's it's a matter of location...or pharmacist. I dunno. Never had any problems with them.
The fact is employees don't run the corporations. And things change over time. In a lot of places one person is now doing the job of 3 people and you have the choice of keeping the job and doing, or quitting. There's lots of people waiting in line for work.
Not much you can do - this isn't specific to the company you work for, it's happening everywhere. Cutbacks in staff to save money, putting more work onto remaining staff. This is nothing new, it's being going on for years and years.
At least you have a job.
All internet sites are not scams. God, how ridiculous can you be.
@Richard - I don't know about that particular company but in most contracts of that sort you'll usually find a clause stating that they reserve the right to change the agreement. I agree that it's not pleasant to pay additional costs, buts when costs increase these sort of places pass them along.
This particular company may very well be not so "upright", I don't know, but there are similar things happening with some of the most trusted companies, as well as those who don't have such a good reputation.
You can only decide whether or not to carry on, or look elsewhere, I think. Fighting them is probably a lost cause.
What site?
Not "Complaints Board"...they don't sell anything.
This:
"f you signed up for any free trial offer from a teeth whiting co. or weight loss you also signed up for 2 to 3 other things you probably did not know about. I just went through this. You have to call & cancel each one. I signed up for the dazzle white smile offer [protected] is their number, then you also got charged by health member [protected], and VH Access [protected]. One of them charged international transactions on mine also. Of course these are non refundable they tell you along with saying it is all in the terms when you sign up. I refused everything on the sight but the teeth whitener but it automatically signs you up anyways. If you do not call each of these numbers (or whatever ones you have on your statement) & cancel they will continue to charge you. Funny though when you do call it is the same guys voice on the hold message & they seem to know you want to cancel before you even tell them."

You aren't entitled to receive the product at the sale price. All you have to do these days is check the barcode or sku number against the price on the shelf. Sheesh. People are forever picking up stuff and putting it down in the wrong place.
SO according to you, if somebody tries on a $200 coat, decides they don't want and puts it back on a rack that says Sale! $49.00 that you should get that coat for $49?
Nice.
They advertised something for $89 with description (the flyer has the name and description of the item in it...I know we've got a zellers too) and and you picked up the wrong one. It's hardly a big deal and it's not like they handed you the wrong one. You picked it up without checking the description to see if it was the right one. I think offering you $30 of on a product that wasn't on sale was pretty decent of them. They didn't have to. Nor did you have to buy it. All you had to do was walk back to the other section and get the right one.
Why does the whole world think other people should pay for their mistakes?
No it's not...the warranty will be honoured if you have the receipt. In fact the receipt probably has the warranty stamp. This has happened with us as well (different product). We located the receipt and we got our product exchanged.
How did you go from owing $35 to $135 to $698? No service charge in the world would add $100 late fees to a $35 payment.
Something sounds seriously out of whack here.
I've also heard of a lot of other people complaining that they have paid their statement amounts prior to the due date, but Sears didn't apply the payment til after the date. You aren't the first I've seen.
We've stopped (about a year ago) dealing with sears unless we buy with cash in the store - we refuse to buy on credit with them unless we use a Mastercard.
I hope you can get this sorted out.
