I too fell victim to believing I could make money helping to post ads for Google.  I'm an internet-savvy person, I am a PhD candidate in Cognitive Science, and yet I failed to do enough research before clicking accept.  I was under the impression I would pay $1.95 to receive a kit in the mail on how to post the ads.     



As soon as I received my confirmation email I realized I had been scammed. I knew this because I couldn't find any evidence of this being associated with Google.  The reason I actually believed that this might be possible was because I read an article from a reputable paper that actually made it sound like it was real (currently trying to relocate that article). Once I was privy to the company's actual name I was able to do a better search online (this was in early November before it had spread like wild fire). I instantly found confirmation that I had been "had." 



I sent them an email immediately requesting that my account be cancelled. I did not receive a response.  Then about 8 days later I received a phone call from some guy in Utah. I told him that I realized I had signed up for a scam and that I had no interest in being involved. The guy went off on me about how "everyone thinks this is a scam! what's the deal? Gold's Gym is a scam! I was given a free month to the gym and then they started charging me the following months." HE'S telling ME this. I argued with him telling him that I was not interested and that I wanted all my information removed from their system. The guy was being so rude that I put the phone on speakerphone because I didn't think anyone would believe me if they didn't hear it too. 



What followed was the most absurd thing I have ever heard come from a customer service person's mouth. I am certain he is trained to do this as an attempt to tether their victims and pull them back then. What I heard him say with his mouth not directly on the phone was, 'Yeah, she sounds cute." I said, "excuse me??" and his response was, "Oh, my colleague just asked me if you sounded pretty." That's when I said I was going to hang up. As I hung up I could hear him yelling something into the receiver." I was in disbelief. My sister, who was in the room listening, was absolutely shocked. Our jaws fell open. 



After more research, I discovered a few more sketchy things:

- they aren't selling you a "kit" to get you started. They are selling you some bs "manual" about how to generate business through keywords related to things you like. 

- THREE days after idiotically signing up, they charge you $29.95 AND $59.95. 



I could only see the $1.95 charge on my credit card, so I rushed to the phone to try to ensure I didn't have to deal with those other charges getting posted to my account. The woman I spoke with informed me that I had already been charged both amounts, on the 21st of November (this all happened on the 17th). This was also several days prior to the guy even contacting me via telephone. 



The first offer, after refusing to accept those charges and after her talking to her "manager", was that they would return 50% of the money.  I calmly said that was absolutely not going to happen. Then I mentioned that I had proof I had sent them an email 27 minutes after receiving the original confirmation email on the 17th.  I was put on hold once more (though only for a short while) before they agreed to refund me for all the charges, except for the $1.95. 



Be persistent, be polite, and be clear that you are not going to allow the charges to stay. If all goes well, $1.95 is all you will have to pay, which is what we all stupidly agreed to do in the first place.

More on Money Mastery (and Search Profit Systems)

AUTHOR: BBB-akorww - (United States of America)

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 07, 2010

POSTED: Wednesday, April 07, 2010

BBB recently released a PR on these companies. Seems to be another case of a too good to be true opportunity:


Complainants alleged that they signed up to pay $1.95 for a work-at-home packet or kit, but instead, ended up being charged $49.95 in monthly membership dues. Attempts to cancel accounts and get refunds were unsuccessful.


Better Business Bureau's research indicates that Search Profit System & Money Mastery utilizes a Seattle drop-box located at 93 South Jackson Street, # 20205. With 13 unanswered complaints in the last 12 months, this business has an "F" rating with your BBB.


Mars Hill Media (MHM), a company with possible ties to Money Mastery, has accrued a similar pattern of complaints. This Utah-based company also holds an "F" rating.


Remember to notify your BBB (and Attorney General) to make sure that others don't have to experience what you have.
