HELP! Google Profits Kit / Quick Profit Kit / Internet Scam

  • Cancel your card and get a new one. You have just signed up to a monthly charge of $79.00. You need to cancel this subscription, but as there is no UK address and I am not sure if there is a recorded delivery option for letters to the US you cannot prove that you have cancelled and they will charge $79.00 every month now.

    If you do want to cancel via the phone, you will need to ring 3 different companies. Read the T&Cs very carefully as you signed them online and there will be the name of all 3 companies you need to contact.
  • Looks like these scammers days are numbered as Google is taking them to court.

    I'm sure something else will fill the void...

    There are far too many witless numpties in this World who will still need to be scammed.

    On the very bottom in small print there is a live chat.
    Click on that and you can cancel the autherisation to take anything from your credit card. She will give you a cancelled number.
    Then you can print out the chat or save it to your computer and that is a legal document . If anymore is taken from your account well then it is fraud. Good Luck

  • Hello,

    If there was some confusion about your subscription, we honestly didn't mean to inconvenience you in any way. Our goal is not to inconvenience our customers .The terms and conditions of our offer are very visible on the order page, they are stated on the order page where you confirm your order, located directly to the top of where your credit card information was entered. There is also a link at the top of the home page that opens up the terms and conditions in a separate window. Customer service is our number one priority and we do everything we can to be open with all of our customers. Of course, mistakes can be made; and if you were not aware of our terms and conditions in our site, we are happy to offer you a full refund if you return the unused product back to us. We have always honored our 30-day guarantee and will continue to do so.

    You can talk to customer support seven days a week. Our U.S.-based help lines are also staffed each and every day of the week to respond to any questions you may have both before and after your order. Simply call us at (8/6/6)-481-8192 and we will be happy to walk you through the entire cancellation process.

    Your satisfaction is our number one concern,

    Thanks,

    I had a look at this, and then googled their website https://www.grants.com and it led me here. Now I know its a load of rubbish designed to fleece me out of my money. Don't know how these people sleep at night... its obvious the people who are going to look at this cannot afford to be cheated of money!
    I got caught out by the Google one... thinking if Google were behind it, it must be legit. Was lucky that my credit card company were happy to get on the case, and they got my money refunded.

    With that attitude, you are going to be ripped off for years to come.

    You were lucky with this one, but there will be a next time for you where you may not be so lucky.

    Have you noticed that all the heading links (Politics, Travel, People, Photo's etc) are all the same page.
    Even the fake customer reviews are all American spelling.

    Anyone not seeing this as an obvious scam saddens me for the future of mankind.
