On 24/02/2014 GOOGLE *Supercell GOOGLE. COM/CHUS $6.24 charged my credit card. On the same day 24/02 showed a debit of equal value. In March other operations from unauthorized purchase were made appearing on my statement. I did not order any other games or recharges, and would like to know how I will receive a full refund for the charges, I will provide you with a copy of all the charges below as they appear on my statement.

I was to receive a confirmation e-mail containing my receipt and detailed order information and if I didn't get it to be sure to check my junk mail. I did not receive this in my e-mail or junk mail, so I was to contact Googles customer support staff. I would like to know how to do this, since they did not provide a number or anyway to contact them.

For the last two months google have taken 2 consecutive payments from my wifes bank account without my consent for them to do so. I want this stopped immediately and when my wife contacted her bank she was told that there wasn't anything that they can do about it because it wasnt a direct debit that they can cancel. Please help

Yes, you're correct. They ask for "only $1.00 / one time charge" but then you start getting debitted from other companies and junk you never authorized. Let me give you a phone number that most likely is what where you're getting charged from: [protected]. "They are called the Identity Theft Prevention Security". They say you supposedly agreed to this when you signed up for the "$1.00 one-time" charge from Google. Also, this is Google's cancelation line phone number: [protected]. The Google Success Kit might or might not be a scam, but they are sure doing things in a very DISHONEST way and that I know, no one appreciates. Hopefully this helps and maybe you can pass the word. let me know how it works out.

I Too have been ripped off with these unwarranted credit card charges, also for a kit which i never recieved. I live in Australia however so cannot use the numbers that everyone else has been using...can anyone from australia tell me how they've managed to get out of this...and if anyone is seriously considering a class action against Google, then let us all know...THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS! They make millions off of paid advertising as it is.

I understood that I would work from home for google.com. But only received a phone call telling me I would receive a "kit" whatever that is. I told the caller to cancel my order and he was rather hostile and asked me why didn't want to earn money like he did. I repeated my cancellation order.

I too felt the same way as you until I read a comment from another person who suggested I file a claim at www.bbb.org I did just that (case # [protected]) There is power in numbers and hopefully this scam will be stopped ASAP and shut down so that other people do not get ripped off like I did. I guess this lesson cost me the $72.21 that Google Treasure Chest stole from me. I feel lucky as some people were charged for months before they became aware of this SCAM. I hope this helps...

Signed up for Working from Home on the Internet! Google Start-up Kit for $1.97 s/h chargers. Asked for my Credit Card, # Exp date CVV2 Code, name address Ph #. It looked very ligitimate. How can you determine from actual Google and Scam? What to do next if I have not receive anything from Google? Will I hear back form you? Do you have a Ph no to speak with a person? Thank You Darlene

Unauthorized debit in the amount of $72.21. No kit received, no phone numbers, no other contact information received, no useful information received, just a bunch of spam in my inbox1-[protected] is no a helpful number. You consistently get a message that tells you to call back during business hours

I did not authorize Google to use my credit card for all these chargeson my bank statement. The only charge was supposed to be $1.88 for software. So far, I have been charged $120.00 for something that should have only cost me $2.00.

Google overcharged my bank account $1881.50 this morning at 6.37 am.
They replied it was problem in the system. This is turn took the funds for my daily spending limit and has knocked all my adwords advertsing off-line. I have potentially lost 1000's of dollars in sales.
They have not returned the money nor have they reset my add campaign.
They said they would call me before 5pm, no-one has called.

I sent Google debit card information which came back showing my card was expired. I then considered the transacion denied and closed. On the 17th of July, 2009 an amount of 72.71 from mykeywordsnow.com was deducted from my checking account. I have not received any information from Google since. I request reimbursement of 72.71 immediately and any further deductions stopped, and if gone through reimbursed also.
