Gotten nowhere and no refund. Called numerous times, emailed again nothing. I have tried with the cc but they keep believing these wicked people. So my thought is that it is time to go after them legally. I am so willing to get a lawyer and anyone else who wishes to join in the go old fashion linching. Seems to be the only final step to go. My family can not afford this loss of money at this time. I see that on Scott Hunter's site many details have been edited since April and no state you have 6 days to review the material and cancel. Heck it took longer than 6 days to get the stupid "free" CD which has now cost me$146.39. So I say we all need to get together via email and persist as a team against this type of crime and have some sort of law made!

Don't rely on the phone palaver ESPECIALLY as you appear not to have not signed up for anything. Watch the video from Chris Malta to see the why's and how-tos of chargebacks. It's basically putting the onus on the scammer to prove to your card company that they have a valid charge to make. This costs them money if they can't prove it, so of course they cave in - despite all the warning threats etc. <blockquote>http://www.chrismalta.com/scamtip1.asp</blockquote> If you are absolutely sure you haven't visited the site, clean out your computer and run your anti-virus on it...

Make sure you instigate a chargeback via your card company. Don’t rely on the phone palaver ESPECIALLY as you appear not to have not signed up for anything.

This costs them money if they can’t prove it, so of course they cave in – despite all the warning threats etc.

I have read all of these posts and am very thankful I had the good sense to check this out. It looks like I have a long and painful journey ahead of me, but because of all your experiances, It may go a bit easier for me. Unlike many of you, I never even signed up for anything. So how they got got my # is beyond me. I will call the bank immediatly and change my card. What an inconvience to have to go through all that. I have a lot of my bills paid through my card and will now have to change everything.

What happened to the good ole days..... I just discovered on my debit card a charge for, you guessed it $72.21 on May 26. I have read all of these posts and am very thankful I had the good sense to check this out. It looks like I have a long and painful journey ahead of me, but because of all your experiances, It may go a bit easier for me. Unlike many of you, I never even signed up for anything. So how they got got my # is beyond me. I will call the bank immediatly and change my card. What an inconvience to have to go through all that. I have a lot of my bills paid through my card and will now have to change everything. I did try the email hidden; JavaScript is required and it got me nowhere.

What you must do is to immediately contact your credit card company and cancel your card. File a fraud charge/claim and let the card company sort it. The message I'm now getting is that all card companies should be aware of this scam and similar. For a bit more irony (which I spotted as you'll see my comments in brackets) check my post http://strangelyperfect.tv/3126/drill-down-through-bsadnpanthersslcom/ which lists a load of similar, related schemes all run or sourced from the same pot. It's the nature of a con to come right at you with a con. It makes it so less believable as a con. We WANT to believe it's all true and the conman just helps us... In the same way, many now suck you into their website with words like "My-internet-payday, scam analysed" or even...wait for it..."Google Treasure Chest, scam". Then in the process of 'analysing' the scam, they'll happen to mention "Google Money Tree, on the other hand, is great and a sound investment". Of course it's all the same scammy pipe dream. Penny has a ncie list of thiongs to do here: http://strangelyperfect.tv/3401/google-treasure-chest-phone-and-address-list/#comment-1508 , which is as succinct as anywhere. Don't forget to check the video lionk at the top of the page where Chris Malta gives you the correct words to use when speaking to your credit card company. ...er. That's all and good luck! @Sarah

One was for a product supplier for internet sales, another was for a company called SafelockID that is supposed to protect you from identity theft (oh the irony!). I have 'cancelled' the Google Treasure Chest and the My-internet-payday, but have yet to receive a refund, three weeks later.

Yes. The BBB seems a waste of space. They have no force in law, that’s the trouble.

Cancel your credit or debit card--Get a new card with new number! Your financial information has been compromised and you will be getting further debits to that card, If not now then they could come back later when you are unaware. 2. File a fraud charge with your credit card or bank and let them sort it out. They have more muscle to go after this sort of crime. Explain to them about all the consumer complaints that are on the internet and insist that they do charge-back or file a fraud charge. Your bank or credit card organization has all the tools necessary to find out where the charges are coming from, what business is involved, addresses and phone numbers connected to the charge and etc. You may not know or have access to this information. The banks and credit card org have all this at their fingertips and are obligated to handle the problem that has resulted. 3. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Their job is to monitor and go after these types of scams. http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/cmplanding.shtm 4. File a complaint with your state Attorney General and also with the Attorney General of Utah (where a lot of the phone numbers seem to be located) 5. Filing a complaint with the BBB is toothless as the scam already is rated with a "F". 6. File complaint at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx This is a place to report internet crime and is a combination gov agency of FBI, White collar Crime and Bureau of Justice Assistance. 7. After you filed with all the above agencies feel free to call any numbers you may possess that are connected to the "unauthorized debit to try and recover your money but take their word with a grain of salt. If you succeed in getting your money returned you will have still taken steps to put their scam out of commission. Steps to Recover your money

A little bit more info on getting your money back via your bank or credit card provider: If you are in the US: "Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E." "Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports" (online) "If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge." From: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/455/RipOff0455635.htm --- If you are in the UK: "Dispute the transaction with the credit/debit card company Tell it the monthly payments are "unauthorised transactions" as then, under the Banking Code (which most card providers are members of) it's its responsibility to sort it out. It may mean Visa, Mastercard or American Express, the companies behind the electronic payments process, are called in by the card provider."

“Dispute the transaction with the credit/debit card company

Tell it the monthly payments are “unauthorised transactions” as then, under the Banking Code (which most card providers are members of) it’s its responsibility to sort it out. It may mean Visa, Mastercard or American Express, the companies behind the electronic payments process, are called in by the card provider.”
