Complaint Review: Internet Income Initiative

I saw an email that said 'Google Money Tree' and that they were offering information on how to make money online. They offered this information in the form of a DVD and you only have to pay shipping charges which was $3.88.

I did get charged the $3.88 and so far have not received anything in the mail but I did receive a debit to my card for $72.21 and it is for my monthly fee to be paid for access to the Google Money Tree Website.

I called them immediately and was informed that they would cancel my account but that the $72.21 is NON-REFUNDABLE and this is so stated on the website where I originally signed up on.

I do not remember seeing anything about a TRIAL period of use and that I would be CHARGED afterwards and if I had seen that, I would have immediately left the site.

How can a company take your money for no services rendered and then say that it is non-refundable just because that is their policy? That doesn't make sense to me and the given fact that they are using Google's name is another mystery.

Is Google associated with this scam? How can another company use a company trademark name without permission and not be sued? It makes me wonder if Google IS associated with this scam because the only reason I even authorized the $3.88 is because I trusted this name, Google. As most people do because of their huge presence on the Internet.

Just beware if you are about to authorize this $3.88 payment that another one is coming which will be $72.21 and it is NON-REFUNDABLE.

I am disputing the payment with my banking facility and hopefully it will find its resolution in that manner.

This is a total scam!
