This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Apparently for the past 3 mos now I've been also charged $7.95/mo.
I am calling Macy's now & I think the best way is to call up your credit line, place your complaint... I am on the phone w/ them now.

This networkagenda.com should get sued. I mean how sneaky that they take a small sum per month. It all adds up, in a year's time to $95.40. Wow!

Those thing is not the amt really. It's that I never use my Macy's card! So, my unsuspecting a$$ will disregard a bill b/c I am so sure that the balance is 0. But, lo and behold the balance has been pending seven bucks for two months now.

I have tried contacting this company on more than one occasion with little success. They give me the run around asking for a confirmation number that I don't have. So, then they ask for personal info to verify who I am. I am not going to give that to somebody I think is a crook. So I end up getting no where with them. I have gone onto the website and canceled the service, but there is no conformation of that, so I have printed copies of the computer screen to verify the times I've been on there. I have submitted copies of this to the FBI and to my bank in the hopes of getting the charges reversed and getting the company shut down. THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD...A SCAM. FIGHT BACK

Do any of these debits look familiar?
The majority of the following are the same company (Grow Rich with Real Estate) Call them and go through your list. I never inquired about a trial offer nor was I interested and was charged, plus they never sent me anything either.
How can a company pull up your account that you don't have by zip code and name only? That was all they asked and in less than a second the rep said that he had my account up on the screen. ? He canceled but would not refund my money. My bank is investigating the charges.

L. Wayne Vincent,

I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. We are not affiliated with "Grow Rich with Real Estate" and in reviewing the above listed charges, it appears you are receiving charges from more than one company.
Our company represents some Google programs (Search Market Membersite) and there are no commitments with the CD download - however, there are bonus free trial periods to membership websites that accompany the CD Download and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated several times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation page and the thank you email, it is then also explained in the first paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the services and see the value of them for themselves before they are billed. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date, depending on which bonuses apply, and we would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period as it is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer ends.

The following is the first paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer (the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy links can be found on every page of the sales ad):
Bonus Material Terms and Termination.
By purchasing this product, you agree to adhere to the termination agreement as outlined on the order page, confirmation of order page, and confirmation email, which is that you, the buyer, are not entitled to a refund of the upfront cost of any shipping and handling that may or may not have been charged to you for delivery of said product. Furthermore, any free trials that may or may not be offered with this product are only free during the said allotted time of the free trial period as outlined within the product sales page, confirmation of order page, and confirmation email. If you have not cancelled the free bonus within the free trial period (if offered on product purchasing), you are agreeing to purchase the bonus material and/or service at a monthly reoccurring cost. This can be cancelled by calling the customer service number provided in the confirmation email between the hours of 9AM and 9PM EST M-F and stating your desire to cancel said bonus material. However, in order to not be charged any future reoccurring cost, please give ample time (2 business days) to be cancelled out of any reoccurring billing system before the next scheduled charge to your account (this does not apply during any trial period). Not canceling trial programs constitutes authorization, by you, the buyer, for any charges (as outlined) for the associated bonus service until your request to cancel has been received by our customer service staff. By not canceling the bonus program during the trial period or prior to two days before a scheduled billing cycle, you agree that any reoccurring charges billed to you will be non-refundable.

As you can see, the Terms direct the customer to the sales page, confirmation of order page and the confirmation email where all pertinent information is provided to the customer before, during and after placing their order.

The following disclosure is directly from our sales page:
Terms and Disclosures. By submitting this form, I am ordering the Make Money with Google CD and trial membership for $2.29 S&H. After the 7 day trial I will be charged $59.95 a month thereafter for the Search Market Members Site if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to the Grant Members Site and Network Agenda for $7.95 and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy / Terms & Conditions. Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as www.gglprofit.com. For questions, call [protected]. Customer Service hours are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Also, immediately after placing your order, our Thank You page directed you to the confirmation email we sent: PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL You will be receiving a confirmation e-mail containing your receipt and detailed order information. If you have not yet received this e-mail, please check your junk e-mail box to ensure the message was not accidentally misfiled. If you cannot find your order confirmation e-mail, please contact our customer support staff at [protected]. As a reminder, your credit card was processed by "www.gglprofit.com".

Search Market Members Site comes with a 7 day free trial to our member’s website where we offer one on one live chat assistance and it teaches users how to make money using Google’s AdWords and AdSense Programs. Customers can use these programs to create Google AdWord-based Advertisements and place ads on Google searches using Google AdWords. They can do this either for their own sites or they can use Google AdSense to funnel traffic through their sites to other sites and get paid for the traffic they generate.

Search Market Members also comes with two fast action bonuses:
First is a 14 day free trial to our Grant Members Site, which offers access to one of the largest grant data bases where you can find both government and private foundation grantors. It offers information from Dr. Porter who is a licensed and certified grant writer. The information that is offered through our member’s 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. After the trial period, it is a reduced monthly membership fee of $7.95 because you are already a member of another of our programs.

The second fast action bonus is a 21 day free trial for Network Agenda, an affiliate company, that offers 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. After the free trial, the service is $9.95 a month membership fee.

For assistance, please contact customer service at either number listed in the above disclosures. There you will find a helpful agent waiting to assist you with your concerns.

If you are another customer that is reading this and you have already tried customer service, but feel that we have failed you in some way or you feel you weren't treated fairly please call me directly at [protected] or email me at customerservice@cshelp.org I will be happy to address your concerns ASAP.

Sincerely,
Online Customer Support

You are right you did send an email I overlooked. However, I do not see an email copy of my request that includes my document that I purchased. I searched my email and the only reference to Google Profits was an order that was placed. The search did not pull up any other emails prior to this order about any offers or trials.
I recall looking at an email (not from your company) involving news of a Google Profit Scam that you claim to be “as seen on MSNBC, CNN, THE TODAY SHOW, etc." I looked in the archives on these sites and only saw that it was a scam.

I would like for you to please send my documentation of this request that you say I agreed to. In the event you are unable to provide this you will need to include your source that has given you sensitive account information. Please be aware that The State of Tennessee and Federal Agencies have requested this information and this so called error or misunderstanding is under investigation.

If your company is legitimate then you should change your website based on the massive amount of complaints from people with the same unauthorized bank and credit card charges. This has been too time consuming and costly and need my funds returned as soon as possible. Please forward the requested documentation as mentioned above.

This is your email I found that went to my Junk Mail (for a reason) and I do not know any of the companies. ( i have marked out the personal information with an x or ? if blank. Also here is one of many more complaints -->

I just found out that an unmarked charge on my credit card has been going on for six months. I thought it was just another high credit card fee and canceled the card. Upon investing the fees the card company said wasn't theirs, but had no name or phone listing. I call the account # and got an answering service that said they handled several
of these accounts and asked for the amount and my name. At this point they informed me that their reoccurring monthly services, which are a useless mail box feature I can get for fee elsewhere, were a part of another package deal for online info I found to be misleading when I got it and immediately canceled within the cancellation period.
They informed me that the other companies cancellation did not effect their product, of which I had no knowledge whatsoever, and theirs had to be canceled by a person phone call, of course to a number I never was given.

The primary company was Google Money.

Don't get roped into this bait and switch.

Stay away from Google Money and Network Agenda.com.

Our company handles some aspects of Customer Support for Network Agenda, and I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. If you have received a charge from Network Agenda, it is most likely associated with the order of a promotional Grant or Google CD, a CD download or an E-book purchase where you have also received a free trial period for Network Agenda. We offer the trial period to give our clients a chance to use the services and see the value before they are billed and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated several times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation page and in the thank you email that was sent. The trial period for Network Agenda is free for 21-30 days from the order date depending on which bonus applies and we would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period as it is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer ends.

Your post mentioned that you have already contacted Customer service. Our company strives to give the highest standard of quality customer service, and if you feel you were not treated fairly, or would like to discuss additional issues, please contact me directly at [protected], or you may email me at customerservice@cshelp.org, and I will be happy to assist you with your concerns.

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. The FTC’s Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.
