    ...the right way!
    Corporate Advocacy Program

On November 9, 2009, I was searching for opportunities to bring additional income into my home.  I saw this Google-based add that seemed pretty good.  Work from home and depending on how hard you work posting ads will determine how much money you can make.  Like the old saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.  Well nothing is closer to the truth than this.  First they tell you that it only costs .99 and that's it!! THen my husband calls me today to ask me about at $74 charge on November 12 and a $17 charge on November 16th.  Of course, like many people, I didnt read the fine print which only gives you a 3 day trial period and then they start billing you a monthly charge of $74....or you can cancel.  But it's NOT THAT EASY.  I have been on the phone for over an hour (using multiple phones and phone lines) trying every possible option to get through.  You guessed, they DONT ANSWER THE PHONE. I tried sending an email and received a quick "out of office" reply stating that they do not accept email cancellations.  So I am out $91+ and I cant get through to their office to cancel this account. 

I guess this is how they make their money.  It is quite unfortunate because this is obviously just a scam!!

I was ripped off too!!

AUTHOR: JerNChitown - Des Plaines (United States of America)

I did the same thing and thought I would see how I can make some extra money. I saw that you had to cancel in 3 days and did so the day after I joined, sat on the phone for just over an hour. The company still charged me and I tried several times to reach them. I sat on the phone for a hour and 15 mins when I finally reached someone. I told the young lady what happened and I was told she will cancel the account but there is no record you tried to reach the company. I then told her I tired several times and no one would answer and then sent them email after email. NOTHING. I was told my account will be canceled but she was honest about something else that may likely get her fired, they sold my information without my authorization to another company (((Redacted))) who was going to charge me as well. They said it was part of a disclaimer that no one can produce. If you did the fast blog income thing, you need to call the expense tracker people at (((Redacted))) and stop it NOW. This is such a scam and most likely they will fire the poor girl who told me about it.

Clarification of Program

AUTHOR: Fast Blog Income - Leadgate (United States of America)

Fast Blog Income would like to take an opportunity to clarify our program offering.   Interest in this program is large and it has come to our attention that some people were not able to contact our office due to the high call volume Fast Blost Income was experiencing. We have taken steps to alleviate this issue by adding additional staff and increasing our telephone bandwidth, which is cutting telephone hold times considerably. We are confident that in the future all customers will not experience a delay attempting to contact our offices.  Any unsatisfied customer can contact our office at 877-204-7404 to speak with a  Customer Support Representative, during the hours of 7am – 7pm (PT) or an email can be sent directly to customersupport@fastblogincome.com

The Fast Blog Income Program is designed to educate and train the customer on how to understand and develop an internet blog site. With the blog site the customer can create their own personal blogging site to promote products and services and learn how to generate traffic to their blog site, all by working with Google to generate income.

Upon signing up for the program the “Terms” of the program are noted several times. On the initial signup page the cost of getting involved with the program are noted on the page.   Also noted is the fact that this program is provided to everyone with a standard (3) three Day FREE trial. This 3 Day Free Trial is noted on the signup page and in the terms and conditions at the bottom of the page, along with an Earnings Disclaimer for the program.

To signup for the program, customers are charged a $2.97 processing fee. For the processing fee, the participants receive “The Money Making Kit”, access to online tutorials, and Unlimited Customer Support.   After the 3 day free trial ends, the customer is subject to a monthly charge of $74.97 in order to continue the service.  All these costs are clearly noted in the  “Terms and Disclosures” on the page. The terms on the page are as follows: “By submitting this form, I am ordering this product's trial membership for $2.97 for the processing fee. Unless cancelled, I will be charged $74.97 upon completion of the 3 day trial period. The charge will reoccur monthly at a total of $74.97 until cancelled. I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policy. To cancel call (877) 453 5682 or email customersupport@fastblogincome.com”.

In addition, at the bottom of the initial signup page there is a link to the full program Terms.

Then on the second page in the signup process, the initial cost of $2.97 is again clearly noted on the page, with the terms below it. Once the customer enters their personal information to signup they MUST click to agree to the “Terms” before their account can be established. There is a check box that must be toggled to “YES” which reads,  “Yes, I want the Google Startup Kit and agree to the terms.”  In fact, EVERY customer that signs up for the program, MUST click in the required box to Agree with the terms. There can be no question as to what the program costs are.

Immediately after the signup process is completed, the customer receives confirmation emails for their various purchases. These Confirmation Emails again contain the initial program costs and the monthly charge requirement, the descriptor for the billing charge and the terms for the account maintenance.

During the sign up process, there are completely separate and additional services that can be added to the program. These programs are elective and are not require to participate
