866-200-5473

I also spoke to the detective in the police dept and he said everyone should get their money back I also was told this GOOGLE kit whatever it is was the start of all of this

I am totally floored by this.  I will help in any way I can to help you stop these people.  I clicked on a link because my husband wanted me to check into making some money from home to help take the financial burden off of him.  I never received any information or my "kit" and just recently noticed the charges on my Visa card.  I tried to call the following number 866-200-5473 GB but a recording said that the office was closed.  I then called Visa.  The customer service rep. asked me if I wanted to dispute this or take care of it myself.  I told her I would call A1 in the morning but asked to have a hold put on my account.  I then googled A1 and saw all this stuff about them being a scam and so I called Visa back and filed a dispute.  A1 charged my card on 5/10 for the initial $1.97, then on 5/17 for $72.21, then on 5/25 for $38.84, and a final charge that has not yet posted for $72.21 before I put a hold on the card.

I too have been charged $24.87 on my credit card for something called A1 Member?? I called up and they gave me some bogus [***] about some natural spring company that i signed up for? WTF? are they serious?? then they gave me a refund confirmation number that I have to wait 7-10 days for the refund?? bunch of BS....NOT HAPPY!!

I'll join you, i have been scammed by 3 different company names ALL the customer service numbers leads back to the SAME B/S- I have charges in the last 2 week pertaining to $247.43 in charges....

I recieved charges from Safe Lock ID for $38.84 x 2 in the last 2 weeks, then a company called Searchest for $72.21 and then 2 charges from A1 Member for $24.87 and another for $72.21. ALL the same company using different names- my bank said that they WONT refund me (B of A) NICE!! but they can dispute any "future" charges- WTF.....

yes i was too scammed by these Blazing Keywords, I've got 3 charges on my bill from same A1 Member ph# 1-866-200-5473,i called to my bank first and tried to find out who the other parties was, and I've been told to call that # which i mentioned above them and got customer service rep named Jane with her ext# 618 and i told her i never asked to be their member; I've been billed 10/05-$2.36, then 17/05-$86.79; and 25/05 -$45.20;. that gal told me i will get refund within 10 business days until Jul 1st.(I'll see what happens; I would also love to join the class action lawsuit against them.

I Received two charges from A1 Member and they were charge in us funds
with the canadian exchange 1.97(2.38) And 72.71(84.80) I do recall that I
did send for information about working at home. I did not authorize any other charges and do not even want the 2.00 charge, Scam as well.
Also look out for 800-926-0273 GRANT MASTERS for 38.84(44.33)Cad. I have no idea how this one popped up but I too reported it and had my card cancelled and have a new one coming. Yes this was a google scam.

Here is how I handled this: on May 18 I spoke w/ a rep at the 1-877-208-6571 number, who gave me an address, ref. # etc. . . to send the CD back to. She assured me my membership/account was canceled as of that date. I got her name-tho it was probably false.At the same time I notified my credit card company who put the $72.21 into dispute. The credit card company is familiar with this company/scam. Evidently, it's huge. Last night the credit card company let me know that I was being credited back the amount by them, not the scammers. Today, on a new bill, I find was charged by the scammers on May 22 $24.87 membership fee. I called the above number again, and this time spoke to a supervisor (BTW, they're in Costa Rica, not an Arab country) I was very firm, asked "how can you work for a company you know is ripping off people?" both calls tried to say, "well you didn't read the fine print"--but on this call, a little Mama shame did help. "Oscar" admitted he gets many calls like this, and it makes him sad. He gave me an e-mail address at support@grandspring.com with the subject line to be: rr 609-refund for (your name). AGain, my credit card company after speaking to the dispute dept. credited the $24.87 when they were assured I had done everything I could w/ the company. Again they admitted they were familiar with this scam. I hope this helps folks. I guess the old adage is true: if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I too, called this co. BlazingKeywords.com at that  number and they claimed they never billed me, but my banking account shows proof they did.Then they send you on wild goose chase to to their web sight for a refund application.no response from them

I have got it 3 months in a row and they keep changing the name from A1 Member to Funding System.  I have finally received one refund of $79.95 and had to file a visa dispute for the other 2 amounts and had to cancel the card.

I had a charge as well, and when I looked up the number online, I found this message thread - so I called and sure enough, my husband had bought a $2 Google thing and they charged our credit card $28.75 for an account he had specifically said no to when they had called to 'follow up'.  The guy said he would cancel it and refund the money, taking 7-10 days...(sounded like he was talking on a cellphone in a crowd or something, really hard to understand him)

Does Google regularly charge people's accounts without their permission after they buy something?

If you are a victim of this scam you should report it to the FTC:

http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm

 don't belive me..just call this number

So FINALY!! I got a response from their support in India(?)I kept getting the same response "We will send an email with your confirmation within 24hrs" AND IT NEVER WOULD COME! After the tenth call I was told that their system was down and I would have to call back in 10 minutes. I called back in 20 and they were never aware of a system failure...go figure I finaly got confirmation numbers here they are hopefully they are not the same as yours because these guys like wasting your time and the longer they waste the more they charge you. 61809-9254119 and 061109-9047264. Well now they cancelled it, I can fight for the refund...

GLOBALREACH INT. phone #1-213-426-2705

The company runs a spammer scammer website to collect information that is sold to a 3rd Party. The persons calling you are from a 3rd party telephone solictor boiler room located in Manilla Phillipines.

You may have inadvertently entered information on its website which was collected and unfortunately sold to lots of companies. The website is listed as follows:

Website:   http://www.grantresearchguide.com

The name of the Company and address are listed below:

Grant Instructor
5348 Vegas Drive, Suite 866
Las Vegas, NV
89109

The above address is ONLY a mail drop. The owner of the mail drop that rents mail boxes to this scammer and other scammers like this company is:

John Vanhara, President
EastBiz.com, Inc d/b/a
www.IncParadise.com
5348 Vegas Dr.
Las Vegas, 89108

Contact numbers to the greedy bugger that rent to scammers: main number: 702-871-8678, John's number (702) 296-0212. Office Manager, Natasha:  702-336-3193

WHAT CAN YOU DO...Perhaps send them the same spam you get. Enter the company info on both companies listed everywhere possible...don't forget the contact telephone numbers. Ultimately perhaps the mailbox service will be more careful to rent to legitimate companies that don't pester people and annoy persons to change their phone numbers.

THEN, file formal compalinst with gov't agencies.

It also a good idea to file a formal complaint with the FCC for violating the Do Not Call policy and engaging dialing equipment.
