Googletreasurechest.com,s third party company in charge of refunds ripped me off for my first month website fee that was supposed to be refundable within the first month if I wasnt happy. They kept telling me (and my bank)that they already electronically refunded my account when they didn’t. They said they didn’t have a phone number to Googletreasurechest.com only a street address.When I wrote them a letter lo and behold the letter came back “return to sender address unknown”. They don’t even have a valid street address!So I got ripped of out of $72.21..

@Dan

This is definately scum behaviour. Watch http://www.chrismalta.com/scamtip1.asp and contact your card company again. Do exactly as Chris Malta says. Back up your words by reference to this post (and others) on this website (and others) http://strangelyperfect.tv/3099/google-treasure-chest-its-a-scam-and-a-half/, making sure to mention the continous scam actions from the ‘company’ over a long period and that the claimed ‘contact points’ hardly ever exist, and if they do, they don’t work. The proof of this is the various people who’ve contacted this website and others with remarkably similar tales of scamminess and skullduggerry.

Good Luck.

It also states that, if the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds. — Nichiren Daishonin, On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime – The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 4
