    "Easy Google Profit" + "My Internet Payday Scams".
    They say for $1 or $1.95 you get their product
    Beware, in the small print, you will be billed monthly about $80 if you don't cancel in 7 days.
    Terms and conditions have the Phone Number (800)497-4988 if you want to cancel. Call the number and they say it is not their company.
    A quick Google search of "Easy Google Profit Scam" brings up MANY unsatisfied people, and that Google has nothing to do with this.
    Why Can't Google or someone stop this?

    Because Google has no control over it. It's a scam about Google done by a third party. In the same way that if you wanted to sell a system (scam) to always win at the Bellagio Casino it's not up to the casino to go after these people.

    Federal Tade Commission? can anyone do anything, They say they are located in the Philippines? I also found their Office in UTAH.
    My girlfriend thought it was Legit, even the Testimonials sounded too good to be true. I said "It looks good, but scammers are good at making things look good". She said you can't think everyone or everything is a Scam.
    Tried it, then found hidden "Terms and Conditions"
    Tried to cancel within a half hour, they give 7 days to cancel, they say to try again tomorrow to cancel.
    I cancelled that card, faster than I got a hold of Customer Service. Thanks

    Actually on the web when you see over-the-tops claims I always assume it's a scam. I always check for contact info and do third party research. I basically buy nothing over the web unless it's from the big sites like Amazon, Future Shop, etc.

    More power to you if you can find a way to shut them down. As you may have seen by my posting history here I hate when people get ripped off by scammers and do what I can to warn others. Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having.

    This was actually On TV, Not a Internet scam only, They are equal opportunity.
    I think I'm OK, Just want to warn others.
    Thanks again, keep up the good work.
