I'm glad the internet nails scammers, when will the scammers learn,? If you going be an internet business the information like this is out there.

Here's there MO, get you to commit in the fine print, which nobody reads, stall you after the 3 day waiting period is over and hey "they didn't do anything wrong" you spend hours and day months trying to get your money back and protect your credit rating. Read the Rip Off report:

I signed up for the $3.88 Google Pro

I guess I'm out $3.88

I also have been scammed by these people.  I didn't mind paying the $3.88 to receive imformation (which I never received by mail) --- I did not authorize the additional $72.21 and that is why I'm online right now trying to find out who and where.  They asked me for $5000.00 --- I told them "no way."  The guy, Derrick, said he would get back with me and see if there were some "grants" availabale.  He never called back, but about 6 other people did --- the last one said the intial cost was $5-10,000.00.  This is is first encounter like this I have had --- I thought with a name like "GOOGLE" it might be lagit --- WRONG AGAIN.  Well, I guess I have some calling to do

Well regarding this number: 1-888-657-8585 came from the google corp; they took out funds of $72.21 out of our checking acct. without our permission!!!! we would be greatly appreciate that it gets back in the ccount.

I too was scammed..
just went online saw they deducted 72.21 out of my bank account.
And I also haven't recieved any kit. One thing for sure...I am pretty good at spotting a scam...but their wording is "very" deceptive.
Looks like I will have to cancel my bank card and have a new one issued.
To all of you who have also been scammed by this you had better look at the terms again..closely because it also says you are subscribing to "lockid"safe...which will bill you in 21 days after a trial period you also signed for without proper knowledge..best of luck. Lets face it people theres a whole new crop of thieves now..

Scammed and Violated.....I'm not angry about the money but more so about the beast that bit me.   Bite back by contacting the BBB in Nevada and fill out the complaint online - its pretty easy to do.  Luckily I live in Vegas and will stop by the company office today to request the refund in person.

I actually found the add for this company on craigslist. I thought $3.88 would be worth a look-see. Well a week later they jacked the $72.21 from my account without authorization. When I called to choke someone through the phone, she said by agreeing to the terms and conditions it gave them authorization. I should know better. I filed a dispute with the card it was charged to. still waiting for results.

There is a charge on my bank statement for $18.77 from Global Pro  at 1-866 874 8909 (There is no such Tel #!!!!!!)  also in the statemtn were the following PMUUS 924-992 Trans Time!!!!!!!   I was looking for a telephone # which Ittelus found for .99 I saw nothing about paying $18.77 definately a scam I called my bank and I am asking them to dispute this matter.
my e-mail is bonniemrh@optonline.net

Well...I visited the main office of this ripoff company today 12/1/08 at about 930am since I happen to live in the Vegas area.  Its a 1 story building. The only entry is through the front entrance where you are greeted by a secretary that acts as the liason to any one of the businesses that occupies space in the building.  Also, one side of the front door window was replaced with plywood - I wouldnt be surprised if a brick made its way through the door window.   Anyhow, she informed me that no one was currently in the office and that the business does not have a phone hookup.  She said I may leave a note with her and she will put it in their mailslot.  So I left a message in an envelope requesting a refund and gave it to the messenger -  I doubt I will get a satisfying response and I'm sure I will be making another visit eventually.  I will try to keep u posted as I go into phase II of my reimbursement.

C'mon Terra...I dont believe u.  Deception is part of their motto.  Under the Terms of Agreement they actually spell out the price of the service and I mean S P E L L it out as in "seventy-two... and three dollars and eighty-eight cents" so your eyes dont catch the NUMBERS of $72.21 and $3.88,  thats just one of their tricks.  If your not related to the fiends I wish u good luck none the less.

You poor stupid [***]!!!  Why in hell would you give ANYone your debit card number?  Especially someone who called you... it's not like you initiated the transaction or purchase... THEY SOLICITED YOU!!

It's real simple:

If you can't understand that you shouldn't give your card number to anyone, then CUT IT UP AND THROW IT AWAY, because you can't be trusted with a card!!

hi i read what happen to you and is happening the same to me what did you bank do about this matter. were they able to help you and called any trans. from them? if you could reply i will apreaciated i really dont know what to do. thanks my email add. is monicaanais@tmail.com

Contact Fraudprotectionhelpdesk.com They can help you correct this. I hope this helps everyone.

You have been charged for some type of fraud protection service, listed in the fine print somewhere I can't locate. That is the $18.77.

The same thing happened to me. Watch your credit card, I have been charged 72.21 a month for the last two! Not easy getting money back from the  credit card. They change their name monthly. (two part investments, internet initiative and google pro)

Same story. First offer to send a free kit (3.88 for shipping) that had never been received (apparently had never been sent). Later on charges of 72.21 from "Two part investments", "Internet initiative 3". The initail offer was sent by e-mail.
Had to contact my credit card to dispute charges.

I was to scammed.They said they would charge 3:88 for the disk. Well we got bounced checks and come to find out they took out 72 dollars and something. We did call and they would not  refund my money. I think they need to learn their leason on scamming people if they need business that bad then they dont need one at all if this is what they do.

I also didnt receive a kit time they took all of this out of my account.Still havent seen one. I canceled this crap and would not recommend to any one.

So...this company is at fault because you can't tell the difference between a numerical amount and a written amount? :)

I cancelled and still got charged from Internet initiative2 the Google money tree beware

Got call and was happy to pay for the "Kit" but then after giving them my CC information they told me "The Rest of the Story".  When they told me of the $72.00 per month I quickly told them NO!  Do not want anything to do with them!  They then gave me to a "closing person" and all she wanted to do was argue with me and tell me about the system.  I KEPT ON TELLING HER NO NO NO AND FINALLY HAD TO HANG UP!  SHE THEN CALLED BACK AND I PUT HER ON SPEAKER PHONE FOR THE ENTIRE OFFICE TO LISTEN TOO...  I HAVE STOPPED MY CC # AND CLOSED MY ACCOUNT.  Thanks for all those who put their feedback on this issue as it helped me and gave me a WAKEUP!
