Were you SCAMMED? I Was!

 Were you SCAMMED? I was!
A few weeks ago I came across an ad for a Google Business Kit.Cost was free but shipping and handling was $2.95 for the CD. Sounded like a good idea. We all hear about people who make money with Google. So for $2.95 I would get a bit more info about how to do that. Sounded like a real bargain.

 Yesterday I got a very unusually voice mail. The guys name was Ray and heasked me to call him back about some Google charges. Well to me that really
didn’t make any sense so I admit.. I was curious. So I called Ray.

 Ray was surprised to hear that I had not been contacted by anyone before this
but he went on to refresh my memory about what I had signed up for. While on the phone with Ray I was able to pull up my credit card statement and sure enough there was the charge for $2.95. Ray said, “do you not see another for $69.90?” Right there in front of me was a charge for $69.90.
 
Evidently you sign up for this Google Business Kit and if you do not cancel
within 7 days you are charged $69.90  MONTHLY. I have found a very lengthy
post about this and I see that I was not the only one who has been taken.

Now back to Ray and his phone call to me. Ray did have a reason to call and I thanked him very much. He alerted me to the fact I had been scammed. But Ray also had a legitimate business opportunity to tell me about, if I was interested.

 Now come on… I had to hear about it after all he really did help me. After hearing about what it was Ray was doing  I told him that it really didn’t sound like something that I would want to get into. Ray thanked me for the opportunity to tell me about it and to make sure that I called and cancelled that $69.90 charge. He asked me to keep his number in case I changed my mind about what he was offering.
 
I know what your thinking….. how did Ray know??????
Well that is the KICKER!
This scam company goes one step further. It now sells your information.
Who besides Ray has your information? What ever company Ray works for calls all of the people who are from that Scammed List…. People Just Like Me.
Calls them to alert them and then offers them an alternative. Is that Brilliant Marketing or what?

There are some that say buyer beware. I am just trying to give all a heads up for what seems to be a very nice offer. In fact it is a STEAL!

Keeping it Real,
Cindy
