This company tried to scam me and I could smell it from a mile away! I'm glad I trusted my instincts. I feel for you guys.

Took 39.95 unauthorized! Beware people!

I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. There are no commitments with the free product. However, there is a bonus free trial period to membership websites that accompanies the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated 4 times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation, it is then also explained in the 1st paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply. We would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period. It is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer. That is why we have the Terms and Disclosures posted on the sales site directly above or below the "Ship My Kit" Button depending on the site you order from.

Here are the Terms and Disclosures that is directly below or above ( depending on the site you order from) the "Ship My Kit" Button.

Terms and Disclosures. By clicking "Submit", I am ordering the Google Money Profit™ CD and trial membership for $1.99 for Shipping and $1.00 for Handling/Insurance, after the 7 day trial I will be charged $39.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to Grant Master™ and Network Agenda™ for $7.95 a month and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy / Terms and Conditions. Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as "Growing Rich w/ Google". For questions, call [protected] M-F, 9am-9pm, EST.

The Google Money Profit CD comes with a 7 day free trial to our members website. Where we offer one on one live chat assistance as well as 50+ tutorial videos and other information to help our client be successful with our program. It also comes with two fast action bonuses first is a 14 day free trial to Grant Master that give our clients access to our Grant Resources website that is normally a $39.95 monthly charge for a reduced charge of $7.95 a month; as you are already a member of another of our programs. This site offers access to one of the largest grant data bases. Where you can find both government and private grantors. It offers information from Dr. Porter who is a licensed and certified grant writer. The information that is offered though our members website is more extensive than what other companies sell in coaching programs that cost thousands of dollars. So we feel that we are offering our clients the best value in the industry. The second fast action bonus is a 21 day free trial for Network Agenda an affiliate company that offer an online date book that will allow you to keep track of your daily schedule and will even send you reminders to your cell phone. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it.

There have not been any unauthorized charges, as the services are part of ordering the CD, however, we do understand that miscommunication can happen from time to time and we are happy to assist any customer that misunderstood what they were enrolling in online. With that being said, I have completely cancelled your account and issued a refund of one month’s membership fees, in order to provide good customer service to you. You can expect to see the funds returned to the account that was charged within the next 3-5 business days.

It has been my pleasure to assist you with your account today. Please don't hesitate to contact me again should you have any additional questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Tony Skougard, Assistant to Ryan Riddle

Isn't there a 7 day period when you have free access to the website, after which you pay $40 a month to use it? Are you sure that isn't what happened? You have to call and cancel or else they automatically start withdrawing money.

what if you "broke" your visa card.the bank would dispatch a new one but with different security code etc. so no more money could be taken (hopefully)

Criminal charges has been filed agiant them. You better join the law suit to kick their ###.

BOYCOTT GOOGLE I got ripped off to by Google and I'm taking anything off my computer that says Google on it and BOYCOTT GOOGLE! They charged me 47.50 twice and then 99.00 and thought i was just ordering a cd for Google Profits. Well they did they profitted off me thinking they where an above board company not like the scam scums out there. But as far as i'm concerned they are just as bad! BOYCOTT GOOGLE.

I came upon the name"Google Money Profit" when checking my credit card statement. I have NO recollection of having signed up for ANYTHING but the first thing I noticed was something called "My Grant Site" which had charged $7.95. They insisted I had ordered some CD from SOME Google site telling how to make money. I called and argued for over 20 minutes before they told me the charge would be credited back and no further charges would accrue. It was then that I learned that they would have CONTINUED to charge $7.95 per month! I then went and checked another statement and saw a charge for $39.95. It was not until I called an 800 number on the statement that I learned it was for Google Money Profit which I also had NOT signed up for but the person on the phone said she saw that my $7.95 had been cancelled. Yet at the time of the $7.95 cancellation, I had been told that no further charges WOULD be accrued nor had been applied. LIE. After being assured that the $39.95 had been credited, I then asked if ANYTHING more related to this program was being charged to my account. Woman then said that yet another $9.95 was being taken out for something called "Network Agenda Program". I had never before even HEARD of these programs, have NEVER signed up for them and certainly don't want them. Someone is scamming SOMETHING under the name of Google and getting information about your accounts and then applying it to numerous related companies. I too am ready to get rid of ANYTHING with the words Google in it. This is a complete scam!

I have indicated the problems I've encountered with the aforementioned Google programs and have only now seen the statement made (supposedly) by a representative of the company named Ryan R. In his statement above, he says "Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as "Growing Rich w/ Google". Although at least 3 charges were applied to my credit card by these related companies, in NO case were they listed on my credit card as "Growing Rich w/Google". In fact, the word Google did not appear in any of the charges. What DID appear were "GMP [protected] OF [protected] NV" Who would know WHAT that was? After calling what I assumed was the phone number ending in 710-2500, an automated voice indicated the number was no longer in use. The second set of digits did turn out to be a working phone number. In another case, the charge appeared as "WWWMYGRANTSITE00 OF 00(Services and Merchandise). Once again, no mention of Google and I knew only that I had signed up for nothing to do with "Grants". In this case, I needed to go on line and "google" My Grant Site, where I got a phone number and (after 20 minutes of arguing) got a $7.95 amount refunded. However, this operator indicated there would be no other associated charges which was clearly a total misrepresentation since I learned of at least 2 more in the next few days. Ryan R's statements on this web site regarding how it appears on one's credit card statement are incorrect. I hope an appropriate governmental body soon gets a hold of these scams and takes appropriate action against them.

I got my cancellation code, but the women on the phone did not tell me where to enter the code in their website. She said she also cancelled it from her computer, but I can still log in with the username they gave me, and can't for the life of me figure out where to put in this code! Since you sucessfully canceled your subscription, where did you enter the code? I do not want to be charged upwards of eighty dollars because the woman didn't cancel it properly on her own.

Thanks for the information. I paid for the google money profit download, but my boyfriend warned me it could be a scam. When I thought about it, there were things that did seem suspicious. I read the information here and realised about all the memberships we have been tricked into signing up for. I did receive the promised download material, but found it to be more complex than it had been made to sound. I do not recall making a user name or password and could not access the member site. A request for the password to be e-mailed got no response.

I rang the number at the bottom of the confirmation e-mail I had been given, but was told the number was not connected. I realised it was an American number and looked up the relevant code to dial first. My call was answered promptly. It would have been approximately 12pm USA local time. The service rep tried to talk me into keeping the product, I declined. She then told me I could have more time and call back later. I said "no thanks, I'll just cancel them now." I was given cancellation codes for 'search market members site' and 'grant membership page' and assured that as I had cancelled within the time frame I would not be charged and that the google money profit was cancelled. I was told that the third site needed to be called seperately and given the number. They are presently not open, so I will call them later. So far everything seems okay, though I have also cancelled my debit card and put a temporary bar on transactions based on some of your stories. Better to be safe.

For those who need contact details the phone number for customer support is : [protected] or if you are calling interationally I used [protected]

The number for network agenda membership is [protected] or add the 0011 if international. They are open 8am to 5pm US mountain time.

Has this worked for anyone?

They also charge your account $7.95 and it shows up as Capital and a 800 number from reno, NV. I can't wait till they start coming up with laws to put these people in prison. They are nothing but thieves hiding behind fine print scams that they ether make it hard to find or don't give you the link to them.

Google Money is a complete scam and should be closed down. I paid for the info for about $1.89 and expected to get something in my mailbox. I thought what the hell- thats not a bad price for any good info. What I didn't get was anything sent to me, and got a monthly charge of about $78.99 on my credit card statement. When I saw that, I cancelled with them AND did a charge-back with my credit card company just to make sure.
Then more charges started to appear on my statements from companies that I have never heard of. Like Socialtoolkit.com...they are one of the worst! I called them after I saw a charge on my statement and cancelled and said I want a refund on my card. They claimed to have a recorded phone call with me and me saying that I accept all charges. They said they cannot give me a refund and would give that recording to my credit card company. I said go ahead but I will do a chargeback. I did do that and will see what happens next but will be hard on that.
Another company that started charging me was one that gives info on how to make money on Ebay. Funny, but I already make money on Ebay so of course I do not need this.
I had about five different companies charging me on my credit card. I back charged them all.
I should have known better because I am a computer tech and security specialist so they even got me. This makes me feel like an idiot but a learning experiance.
I won't be fooled again!

I was scammed by this comany. They mostly do not refund the money and make it impossible to cancel within the 7 days (think about it if they are closed Sat and Sun (but they count it as part of the 7 days) it is a nyumbers game how many miss the mark on the 7 days.

I have joined a class action suit against them - if you are interested contact Will at

I too feel victim to this fraudulent act. I paid $2.95 for their free kit and then I got nervous so I decided to call the company and they told me that I would be charged $79.95/mo. and I said, NO I will not, cancel my account now! I do not want the kit and never want another charge from your company or any affiliated with you. That was that. I was upset because I already spent time working on whatever they said made you money, but I was not going to be completely fooled. The thing that ticked me off was that it NEVER said anything about a monthly charge after the free kit, and it especially NEVER mentioned anything about $79.95! I mean who signs up for a program like that anyways? No one would if they knew the truth!

How do I keep getting myself into this crap! I HATE this stuff. I want my money completely back. I don't want memberships and continued charges! Sure it's profitable for YOU...I can't afford bank charges for non-sufficient funds! This kind of monipulation really eerks me.

YES, IT DOES WORK LIKE A SCAM! They charged me $.99 plus $74.97 for additional. Now, I'm having a trouble to get it refund though I cancelled the membership. They won't allow me to talk to billing department. According to the lady i talked on the phone, they are not allowed to transfer! What a SCAM! The website I used was "GOOGLEPROFIT.COM" Please do not be hooked by any sweet words!

For Release: 12/22/2010
FTC Charges Massive Internet Enterprise with Scamming Consumers Out of Millions Billing Month-After-Month for Products and Services They Never Ordered
Defendants Allegedly Created 51 Shell Companies to Carry Out Deception
The Federal Trade Commission is taking legal action against a far-reaching Internet enterprise that allegedly has made millions of dollars by luring consumers into “trial” memberships for bogus government-grant and money-making schemes, and then repeatedly charging them monthly fees for these and other memberships that they never signed up for. The FTC seeks to stop the illegal practices and make the defendants pay redress to consumers and give up their ill-gotten gains.
“No consumer should be sucker-punched into making payments for products they don’t know about and don’t want, ” said FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz.
The FTC’s complaint alleges that the defendants offer consumers bogus money-making and government-grant opportunities. They claim that the offers are “free” or “risk-free, ” and that they will charge customers only a small shipping and handling fee.
According to the FTC’s complaint, the operation, doing business under the name I Works and controlled by Jeremy Johnson and nine other individuals, uses websites that tout the availability of government grants to pay personal expenses or pitch various money-making programs. The websites offer “free” information at no risk and ask consumers to provide their credit or debit card numbers to pay for a small shipping and handling fee such as $1.99. When consumers provide their billing information, though, I Works proceeds to charge them hefty one-time fees of up to $129.95 and monthly recurring fees of up to $59.95 for the grant or money-making programs. I Works charges them additional monthly fees for one or more unrelated programs that consumers did not agree to.
The FTC’s complaint alleges that this scheme has caused hundreds of thousands of consumers to seek chargebacks – reversals of charges to their credit cards or debits to their banks accounts. The high number of chargebacks has landed the defendants in VISA’s and MasterCard’s chargeback monitoring programs, resulted in millions of dollars in fines for excessive chargebacks, and prevented the defendants from getting access to the credit card and debit card billing systems using their own names. To keep the scam going, the defendants tricked banks into giving them continued access to these billing systems by creating 51shell companies with figurehead officers, and by providing the banks with phony “clean” versions of their websites.
The FTC has charged the defendants with violating the FTC Act by misrepresenting that government grants are available for paying personal expenses, that consumers are likely to obtain grants by using the defendants’ program, that users of their money-making products will earn substantial income, and that their offers are free or risk-free. The complaint also alleges that defendants failed to disclose that consumers who pay a nominal shipping and handling fee will be enrolled in expensive plans that charge consumers fees until they cancel, and that the defendants charged consumers’ credit cards and debited their bank accounts without their consent.
In addition, the FTC alleges that defendants posted deceptive positive reviews and used deceptive testimonials that misrepresented the benefits of their grant services. Finally, the FTC has charged the defendants with violating the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E by debiting consumers’ bank accounts without their signed written consent and without providing consumers with a copy of the written authorization.
As alleged in the complaint, the defendants gained access to the Visa and MasterCard systems through many entities. The banks included Wells Fargo, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, First Regional Bank, Harris National Association, and Columbus Bank and Trust Company. The payment processors the defendants used included First Data, ECHO, Global Payment Systems, Litle & Co., Moneris, Payment Tech, Trident, and Vital, as well as independent sales organizations, including CardFlex, RDK Inc., Merchant eSolutions, Pivotal Payments, PowerPay, and Swipe Merchant Solutions.

The FTC complaint names 10 individuals, 10 corporations, and 51 shell companies as defendants. As alleged in the complaint, the lynchpin of the enterprise is Jeremy Johnson, the sole owner and officer of I Works Inc., which has done business under numerous names. The FTC’s complaint names Johnson and nine other individual defendants: Duane Fielding; Andy Johnson; Loyd Johnston; Scott Leavitt; Scott Muir; Bryce Payne; Kevin Pilon; Ryan Riddle; and Terrason Spinks. In addition, the 10 corporate defendants are: I Works Inc.; Anthon Holdings Corp.; Cloud Nine Marketing Inc.; CPA Upsell Inc.; Elite Debit Inc.; Employee Plus Inc.; Internet Economy Inc.; Market Funding Solutions Inc.; Network Agenda LLC; and Success Marketing Inc.
The 51 shell companies named in the complaint are Big Bucks Pro Inc., Blue Net Progress Inc., Blue Streak Processing Inc., Bolt Marketing Inc., Bottom Dollar Inc., doing business as BadCustomer.com, Bumble Marketing Inc., Business First Inc., Business Loan Success Inc., Cold Bay Media Inc., Costnet Discounts Inc., CS Processing Inc., Cutting Edge Processing Inc., Diamond J. Media Inc., Ebusiness First Inc., Ebusiness Success Inc., Ecom Success Inc., Excess Net Success Inc., Fiscal Fidelity Inc., Fitness Processing Inc., Funding Search Success Inc., Funding Success Inc., GG Processing Inc., GGL Rewards Inc., Highlight Marketing Inc., Hooper Processing Inc., Internet Business Source Inc., Internet Fitness Inc., Jet Processing Inc., JRB Media Inc., Lifestyles For Fitness Inc., Mist Marketing Inc., Money Harvest Inc., Monroe Processing Inc., Net Business Success Inc., Net Commerce Inc., Net Discounts Inc., Net Fit Trends Inc., Optimum Assistance Inc., Power Processing Inc., Premier Performance Inc., Pro Internet Services Inc., Razor Processing Inc., Rebate Deals Inc., Revive Marketing Inc., Simcor Marketing Inc., Summit Processing Inc., The Net Success Inc., Tranfirst Inc., Tran Voyage Inc., Unlimited Processing Inc., and Xcel Processing Inc.
The Commission vote to file the complaint was 5-0. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.
NOTE: The Commission authorizes the filing of a complaint when it has “reason to believe”
that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendants have actually violated the law.
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP [protected]). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1, 800 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.
