Yesterday a friend forwarded me an article on a website about this same deal. It sounded good and was not interested. I am glad that I stayed away from that. Based on previous posts it sounds like a nightmare to get out of it.

This is one big scam! It has nothing to do with google search! Their site is very misleading. For just .99 to handle shipping costs they will send you a kit, after which they charge you a monthly fee of $40 to $70 a month without even disclosing it. These guys are brutal! Avoid!!!

This is a huge scam. Google adsense is a free enterprise and it costs nothing to sign up for google adsense and these shady companies are charging you for free knowledge. It is appauling and they should be stopped. People need to help stop these guys by sharing their stories to other people about how they got scammed to prevent others from getting hit up. Check out this article to learn more about how they scam you

I got ripped off from the geasystreet.com scam.When you call them they don't even answer the phone stating a business name.I got the phone # on the bank statement I have and called and had to threaten them with a lawyer and the police.If you got scammed here is the # to call. 1-877-889-0581.

Hello everyone! Thank you for informing us about this site. Honestly, I've stumbled upon this site a week before and we're about to order it. Thank god I've read about this. Whew! I feel like a dodged a bullet. By the way, do you mean that since you used credit card to pay them, you will auto pay them each month now without any acknowledgment to you?

Google profits? Don't you think you should have done some prior search to find out whether google actually runs such kind of a service? I would surely have!

JUST DON'T DO IT


This is a difficult scam to work with. Once you have signed up your credit card gets charged $1.97. I have heard that the charges get larger later but I did not wait. It is a valid charge as they send you a worthless disk...but you are getting something for your money, albeit worthless. They follow up with a phone call to make certain that you want the program but...even if you tell them NO the charge is made...in fact the charge appears to be made prior to their phone call asking for authorization.

Here's the difficult part, once you've authorized the charge you cannot:

!. Get your money back, reporting it as a fraud (disputing the charge) won't work as you did get "something"
2. Additional charges can still be made..possibly you might be able to dispute them...don't know
3. The only way to stop the charges is to cancel the card. Pain in the B if you have automatic charges against the card such as cell phone etc.

So...don't do it. I don't know how many names they go by but they used what appears to be a ligitamate TV report (mine was Boston channel 6) with a link. Here's a few of their scam sites:

www. googleprofresource.com
Not sure about this one (no website) but it's the name of the billing on your card: Googlebizpro2

IT IS ALL TOTAL FRAUD. I SUBITTED AND THEY CHARGED $129.95 AFTER 3 DAYS. I CALLED THEM AND THEY'RE SAYING IT IS ONLY FOR 3 DAYS TRIAL PERIOD AND THE AMOUNT IS NOT REFUNDABLE NOW.

THEY ARE TOTAL FRAUD, FRAUD AND ONLY FRAUD. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK.

Haha yes, when I initially saw this I laughed cuz they made it sound like a news paper. And then it has all the people saying that it was good blah blah. Just by the price you KNEW that they were going to charge more later.

The funny thing is, I'm surprised that people are still promoting it without being stopped. Someone has go to do something about that.

I am so happy this thread has gotten such a huge response. Thanks to everyone for your input.

I'm confused in this thread. What was the product you specifically are talking about now? I helped thousands of people file complaints on older versions of stuff like this and I'd be curious to see the setup.

On the older stuff - including the classic Google Money Tree scam, credit card companies were refusing fraud charges as well...of course the FTC eventually ended up filing an injunction against Google Money Tree.

I'd love to be able to view the specific page people are signing up for to see if there are any ways that the company is out of FTC compliance in order to possibly give you leverage in a CC dispute.

I did some searching and found an article which was promoting Easy google profits. As I clicked on the link guess what? Here is the message I received ... The link you have requested is no longer available.

What they have done here is just changed the site and its name to cover their tracks. Please be wary. They most always start with a trial period at a low entry. It is still the wolf in sheeps clothing.

I have found that any site asking you for money in exchange for the "secret" to making money with google is a huge scam. The fact is that there is no secret to making moeny with google and it can be done without having to pay a company to tell how this is done. The information is free and out there.

[aldwinonline]

gaad! how disgusting...that's why i don't really buy paid ebooks, why pay some dime if you can actually get thousands in google for free? duhh...

[Tracey K]

I know of at least 10 people who have been scammed by this as well. It is a shame taking such a well known name and creating a scam out of it. I wonder how much money they are actually making everyday from ripping people off.

Being the cynical a$$hole I am, doesn't anyone else see the benefit in this.
It pretty much keeps anyone dumb enough to go for this OUT of our way.

Think about this way, do you want to go into micky d's and flip your own burger.
Someone's got to do it.
