Hotbusinessmarket.com - Ebay - Google Credit card rip off Internet *NOTICE..!! this ripoff has nothing to do with Google search engine - many rip-off businesses use the Google name to fool consumers.
I found this while browsing the internet. They claim to get you set up from home to do business with Ebay and Google. They rope you in with a $1.99 price tag. I did it, thinking "it's only 2 bucks". For a week, they tried to contact me to verify the order. My wife talked to them, but they would not authorize the payment unless they talked to me specifically.
I called them, the woman I talked to was having problems with her computer, so she asked if they could call me back. I told them to call me later and they did. The man I talked to told me that the $1.99 was a trial period, and if I wanted to continue, I would be charged $52 a month. I told him that I was not aware of the trial period, and I'm not interested in continuing. He cancelled my order, and thanked me.
A month later, I get my credit card statement with a charge of $82.95. I called them, thinking they had just made a mistake. The woman I talked to was without a doubt the most unhelpful, rude individual I have ever talked to. She was basically calling me a liar. She told me they state on the website that if I don't cancel within 7 days that I will be charged the $82. I asked her how they could charge me $82 when they couldn't charge $1.99 without talking to me specifically to authorize the order? She informed me that they are an inbound call center, and there is no one from her location that would have called me, and that it was most likely a company they sold my information to that was calling to sell me additional services. I asked if this was for the Google home business, she said yes, but they sell my information to other companies that do the same thing, and by giving my credit card information to them, I automatically authorized them to charge.
Do not sign up with this, it is fraudulant and an absolute ripoff. I hope the person that started this company gets punished back ten fold for the scam that he/she created. You are preying on individuals that are trying to make their lives better, and I hope you burn for it.
