I had this same thing happen, along with charges from other companies.  I assumed someone had my credit info, but now I'm wondering...credit card is cancelled.  Has anyone ordered anything from a Sports Flags and Banners website, or taken a BizRate survey lately?  Because that's the only thing I've done online recently that could have compromised my credit info.

I would like to know if anyone has received the trial kit you were suppose to receive as an answer to the request for your name and address. The starter Kit if we like it and continue making money.  What KIT? Where is it?  They couldn't even get that right.

I signed my wife up and ordered the kit for $2.97. We decided later that day not to work on this but to pursue something else. Four days later they charged me $139.95. When I re-read the welcome email after the initial sign-up, it did say that they would charge me this $139.95 amount after the three day trial if I didn't cancel. I should have been more diligent to read all the information and by not canceling, I did in a sense, authorize the $139.95. My advise is read everything carefully and make sure you cancel before the three day trial is up if you are not planning on going through with it...

this bogus company scamed me too. this needs to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope this company goes to jail.

NOT READING THE TERMS and CONDITIONS is what the SCAMMERS Count on.


There are a lot of these Negative Option Contracts out there - ACAI Berry Teeth Whitening, Government Grant SELLING INFO have them.   THEY ARE ALL SCAMS - intended to steal your money.

ALWAYS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FIRST - before you start filling out forms. Some sights will capture what you put in the form - even if you never submitted it.

Also read the Privacy Policy - this is where they tell you that they SHARE your info with others - increasing spam calls and junk emails

I had the same problem.  what website did you go to, to get this charge?

Well I guess Im the next on line who was taken advantage of with this damn scam for $139.95 that I did not authorize. Just like all of you I know that this was done in a way that was wrong as what they did was far from what they said they would do. Total BS. I have made my complaint with the FTC and hope that all of our efforts together can put this illegitimate company out of the crooked buisness they are in. SHady people man I tell you.. They will get theres.

Same here, My bank called me on Sunday evening and said they suspected fraudulent activity in my bank account, I checked and sure enough, 139.95, and 2.97 were in my pending transactions.  I have not opened any emails that I dont  recognize or clicked on any terms or even answered any calls.  What the hell is going on?

I hate to tell you all, but the BBB cannot do anything. As a matter of fact, the BBB is just as much of a scam as these people. What everyone does not realize is that the BBB is not a government agency, but a private company run by con-artists just like these people from ICM Websites / Internet Cash Machine / http://portal.xyzwarehouse.com. As a business owner I can tell you this for a fact. What they do is contact small business owners like myself, and try to con you into paying hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars so it shows a good rating and an "Accredited Business" logo next to your company name.

Also, http://www.ripoffreport.com is a scam just like BBB. They pull the same crap, where they extort business owners for money to show a good standing with their company.

Anyway, If you want to know what you're getting yourself into visit my blog.  I have pretty detailed information about this SCAM.  Feel free to contact me at scammingamerica@gmail.com to get more information or advise on how to get your stolen money back or follow my twitter at @scammingamerica.

Oh, and the real information for this company is the following:

I, too, noticed charges of $2.97 and $139.95 on my bank statement.  Never spoke to anyone about ordering any product.  I called the number on my bank statement and told them my info was being used without my authorization.  They said they would stop the charges.  I had to drop my credit card and apply for a new one.  Also notified the local police and they are aggressively investigating.  A Detective called today to give me this website along with the attorney general's complaint website.  I would love to bust whomever is doing this to innocent people!!

I am an other sucker. I did not autorize the $139.99 payment either. And I called them on the fourth day to confirm my cancellation which I was sure I had done on the internet, I was informed the only way to cancel was by telephone and I was a day to late!! These people need to be removed from the internet and put in Jail.

I fell into the trap by watching CNN and looking at how a Mother had lost her job from my home town and was making ends meet by working at home. In the article it had a web page that looks like she indorsed and for $2.99 you could look over the information and get started. Luckly I called by credit card company and found the extra charge $139.95
Thanks Mike. I called and blocked my credit card. I also called the1-877-863-3088 and canceled my account.The operator ther gave me a cancelation number and said that my account would not be charged. I waiting to see if that really happens.

I tried this "Instant Cash Machine" last night. I had a feeling it was to good to  be true, but thinking I was only losing $2.95 I was curious to the bogus they were shoveling. I was sent to a page that asked me for my social security number, which immediately told me to get out. I closed that window and all the others that popped up. I couldn't even get back to the original window. I than received an email stating after my trial period of 3 days that I would be charged $139.95 or something like that. I immediately got on the phone and called them. I had to wait about 5 minutes, which I thought was fairly good, considering the scam. I told them I wanted out. They cancelled my subscription right then. The kicker was the next day when I checked my bank account. They had already put the $139.95 through my account. It had still said pending. I called them and they said they sometimes do an inquiry to peoples accounts, but that my money would not be withdrawn due to the fact that I cancelled my subscription. When I asked why the inquiry was done she had no response. I told her I was reporting them to the BBB. I'm going to call my bank to make sure the charge does not go through. Thank you for your blog. It was right on to my experience. I knew going in it was probably a scam, so I was looking for signs. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who aren't. Good luck with your scam hunting. I would love to be paid to find these scams. My anger would fuel my energy to work around the clock.

Thanks again,

Mike Weber

Same story.  I figured I'd see what the scam was for $2.99, and got hit for $139 immediately, not after the "3-day trial period".  Changed my bank card and they filed a fraud report (and it *is* petit larceny by fraud).  Next is my police department, to see if they're as aggressive as RG's is.  Maybe if they get hit with enough criminal charges (and, considering how many comments there are here, they're WELL over the limit for a RICO prosecution) - and their downfall is publicized - it will stop some others who are planning a similar scheme.

It says right there in a big paragraph you will be charged 2.97 then if you want to continue it will be $139.95
If you and half the other people would just read what you are getting involved with you wold plainly see the charges right on the same page. Not in small print its right there. Also there is over 2000 products and 16 website. Get off the couch and do something with them. It works but you have to put some effort into it.

You did authorize it just like all of us if you read the paragraph right on the page. Hello

my story is different,, i did'nt sign up on any website or do anything on the web, but someone actually used my cc to purchase this product. called icm and spoke with a very understanding man named don and with the information that they had on file for the purchase and my information he knew right away that i was a victim of cc fraud. my cc company is taking care of the rest and i am getting my money credited back. i'm glad when i saw the first intial 2.97 that i immediatly checked the internet to find out about this scam.

Revieved call and it went to voice mail, erased message after i listened to it and it was garballed, now my bank account has been somehow charged.

I fell for this 2.95 scam also and was charged the 139.95 the same day.....I called and they said that it would be credited back to my account within 3 business days. We will see what happens. It is still in pending status so hopefully it won't go thru.
NEVER SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT CALLING THE COMPANY FIRST. YOU CAN TELL IF IT IS A SCAM FROM CALLING A COMPANY FIRST.

these Bastrds scammed me too! they tell u that u only pay 2.95 and then they end up taking 129.99. im tryin too make money not get it taken from me an dont get anythng in return, whatever u do DO NOT get caught up in this scam. these muthaf**** need to be in jail. i want my F***** money back!
