Blazing Words Blazing Words debiting my bank account with an unauthorized charge! Fraud !!Internet
*NOTICE..!! this ripoff has nothing to do with Google search engine - many rip-off businesses use the Google name to fool consumers.
===========================================
I responded on June 3 for info. for a Google Profit Kit marketing opportunity for $1.79. I understood the small charge would be for information from "Google". It actually was listed on my pending items as "Pro____"
in UT. Blazing Words was NOT the company auth. to debit my Visa for the $1.79, and certainly no other future charges were authorized. When the $1.79 charge was authorized, I was told online that I would be receiving a package of information in 6-8 weeks in th mail.
Yesterday, I noted on my banking online a "pending" charge from Blazing Words of $72.17. The customer service phone number listed on line has had a busy signal for 2 days and I have not been abl to get through to them. My bank has assured me that if the $72.17 charge actually posts, they will assist me in filing a fraud report. This is an inconvenience and ties up my money which would help pay other expenses.

I ordered the $1.97 "kit" on 5/24/09 (I kept my print out) and today is 6/9/09, it has been 13 days, not even 13 business or mailing days. So I haven't gotten my kit, and couldn't of "signed" up for this service. I was forced to sign up per their terms. This is a huge scam. It should be squashed quickly!
