I joined PPC Classroom after the first launch (Oct. '08 ?). I got that same sinking feeling just after the $$ transaction, and I had to wade through offer after offer before I could even get to the 'classroom.' It really is a major turn-off. It had a feeling of greed and desperation. I'll never look seriously at any other products from the same people.

Although I did learn a few things in PPC Classroom, I didn't feel there was nearly enough to ask for a monthly fee. I believe I paid an initial $77 and $29 monthly thereafter. It may have been a decent offering as a $47 ebook, if you were a complete newbie. Obviously I'm no longer a member.

It seems as though some of these so-called Gurus make their biggest money on their launches, so they just keep having one after another.

Yep. had the same experience with both. But you're not allowed to say anything, don't you know, because that would be "negative". GCD weren't posting any comments that were even remotedly "negative". Even in the Forum which is supposed to be, by definition, "A public meeting place for open discussion".
And this is a Forum here so I'm gonna say it - I think all these kinds of programs are run by out-and-out crooks. Greedy, selfish, grasping, ruthless crooks who prey on Newbies and the gullible or hopeful dreamers.

I signed up for Google Cash Detective - but used the 30-days Money Back Guarantee - as it doesn't support well German keywords - that I would need more.

But all the functions work - like Google Cash Automator, Adding my own keywords - that then get's scanned for Google Ads and Keywordsearchings etc.

Just to mention positively: they refunded the Money very fast, without further questions, as promised!

Reading between the lines, the only reason they have re opened it is to fill all the spots left by the refunders !!!!!!!!

Philipc · 04-17-2009, 09:25 AM

Hmmm....cancelled within the 30 days. CC shows no refund as of yet.... anyone else in the same boat?

Also, what most people probably don't realize is, MOST of the people that are profitable and running adwords campaigns (translation - the ones that you would bother spying on and cloning) probably know how to block access of GCD and most spytools to their sites/landing pages. I ran a series of tests during my "trial" of GCD and since I knew what to block via my .htaccess file, NONE of my campaigns were visible on GCD and I ran them for an entire month on common keywords (and made no money)

In another words, people that you'd want to copy - you probably aren't going to find them anymore on a go-forward basis. This was easy to verify because when I first signed up, I found NUMEROUS "review style" generic domains direct linking to HUNDREDS of click bank products or CPA offers - ALL of them running for over 120 days or more with profitablity indexes of 12,000 or more (again, this is debatable). All of a sudden, within about a week of membership, all those campaigns showed the campaign wasn't running any longer according to GCD - but if I went and just googled it myself, sure enough the ad was there.

What does this mean? Obviously, once these advertisers knew GCD was released and tons of us were going to be spying on their domains - it was VERY easy to block the GCD tracking algorithm and the top guys will be doing everything they can to avoid spytools from seeing what they are doing.

If you simply google "block spy tools", you'll see tons of references on how to modify your .htaccess file and how to block spyfu, keywordspy, etc etc etc.

of course, there's ways around that too, but that's a different discussion

If you use CloakNRotate you know this to be true.

patlondon · 04-18-2009, 04:00 PM

Just wondering if anyone has planned any lawsuits against Chris C. for the mountain of blatant lies about GC.

I'm hoping that the other so called gurus who promoted the crap out of this will get an earful and lose half of their lists.

Maybe these guys will actually *review* a product before jumping on the next bandwagon to rake in the cash on the backs of unsuspecting, trusting people next time around. Wonder how they sleep at night.

How many people have requested a refund and haven't received it yet?

trishworks4u · 04-18-2009, 05:20 PM

Wow - I hope you guys get your refunds soon. That's not a small sum of money to be waiting on. I received my refund fairly quickly but requested it about 3 weeks ago I think. I also left PPC classroom as well and have removed myself from their lists.

Just as an aside, right or wrong, this is how I've been signing up for any "recurring" accounts. I have either an "extra" checking account that doesn't have much money in it or a Paypal account, also never very full and use the debit cards for either of those to sign up. Then, I have the credit card protection there but can also pull the money out of either of those accounts easily if I need to cancel something and the other party won't cooperate. I'm not a flaky chronic canceller at all but I dont' want anyone having access to my main personal checking or business accounts either. Paypal also has the cancellation feature built in for recurring charges... I've recently learned that also.

I'm still a newbie here and I hear of waay too many people getting snookered in IM. I've found WF to be a great place to prevent that from happening... too often.

patlondon · 04-18-2009, 06:38 PM

Yea Trish- I think really long and hard before subscribing to any monthly deal unless it's with Paypal. They're not perfect by any means but that extra level of protection is a big relief!

A quick reply. I asked for a refund and waited 10 days, and it wasn't processed even though the Google Cash Detective support team assured it was. I called my bank and confirmed that NO Refund was issued.

So I just submitted another Ticket to ask for the refund, and to warn them if I do not see my refund processed in my internet Banking account on Monday, I will ask my bank to issue them a charge back. Will post updates on how it goes.

But one thing for sure, I won't be buying Chris Carpenter again. I felt that he really over hyped his product this time, and now he's suffering the backslash for over promising and under delivering. Once trust is broken, it's pretty much gone for good.

NO WAY I'm going to be asking for a refund. GCD is way to effective.
It flat out works! Now that's not to say there isn't a learning curve if
you're new to PPC - because there is. BUT, if you track and use
negative keywords with your campaigns, AND, aren't afraid to
step outside of Clickbank -- oh my gosh, you won't believe what
you can do with this!

kckaz · 04-20-2009, 04:00 PM

Wow. I passed on this launch and came back to see the comments. Not too pretty. Then again, maybe only the complainers are posting and the ones having success are prudently staying quiet about it.

probizlink · 04-20-2009, 05:43 PM

I have not had ANY problems with GCD or Chris. I love the software. The many sources of training has been tops. If you get another chance you might want to try it. I think Chris just opened it up again. I do not spend as much time here because I now use my time learning new ways to use GCD.

etreet · 04-20-2009, 07:14 PM

anybody wanna share the GCD+GCA with me? I bough it in $1997,but I use it sometime but not all the time,i feel it 's a waste,I would like to share with somebody who is strongly wanna use this powerful tool! (IT's SO Powerful) if you are interested in sharing(half price) and you are also living in vancouver,canada ,please contact me. attilakhan@msn.com

themarketingdirt · 04-20-2009, 08:52 PM

I checked with the bank today and confirmed it twice. NO refund even after waiting for 11 days ever though I asked for it within a 30 day guarantee period.

This isn't about whether the software works or not anymore, but a matter of honest business ethnics. You state a 30 day guarantee, you either honor it or it's fraud. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm trying to contact Chris to get my money back without filing a charge-back. Can anyone provide me a working phone number where I can call his company directly?

No problem moneyplus... Although it was kind of a negative post, the point I was trying to make was - the TOOL is not the answer - there's a LOT of other things going on and the way it is being marketed will lead MANY down the garden path. For those of us that know what is going on behind the dark curtain, it has it's use, but I would rather spend $2k on campaigns. After comparing the data I got from GCD, I could get the same market intelligence using the other (cheaper) tools I have.

For those having good results, feel free to post - judging by the forum at GCD, nobody was able to post any real results that I saw before I refunded. Speaking of which, although I got an email from GCD support that the refund was processed back on April 8th, I just checked today and noticed it still hasn't been posted...

keep your eye out on my blog and subscribe as I'll have some news in a couple weeks that I think this thread will find interesting re: competitive tools to GCD.

heheh... I guess "low refund rate" is a relative term in their eyes - just like their profitability index was

I wonder if people using GCD realize that maybe a lot of the keywords displayed by GCD could actually be CONTENT network keywords and not necessarily just search network keywords...

interesting that isn't mentioned anywhere... at least not that I could see... kind of a big thing to point out isn't it? Especially to all the "newbies" in there...

I'm glad you're getting your money's worth out of GCD. Really. You couldn't have been a total newbie, am I right..?

I'm glad I stayed away however- I found it hard to swallow the promotional emails from Chris that said flat out..."this works 100% of the time in finding profitable campaigns!"

Well maybe so...but for newbies...? Or rather the people who have been running the campaigns..the ones you're going to try and clone..? Yes...those would be profitable we could assume.

And then all the issues with customer service and training..?

No thank you, I'll stick to studying PPC at ppc Kahuna and keep that hard earned cash for the campaigns.

The software there gathers same data but it takes time and some effort.

Ziah691 · 04-22-2009, 05:34 PM

I returned my GCD and so have lots of others in PPC Classroom. I have nothing good to say about this software at all. If you don't have $2-3k to start these campaigns....then forget using this software. GCD was the worst product ever...they charged me $2188 instead of $1997 although they did refund me. I don't know many people that are keeping it. The forums were so tightly locked down because they were afraid the negativity would lead to a mass exodus. I'm a PPC Classroom VIP member and new here....I thought I would put in my experience. It wasn't good at all. I wish those who do have it the best of luck.

toolleather · 04-22-2009, 11:49 PM

I also asked for a refund of GCD and they were trying to give me the runaround. It was supposedly processed on 17 Apr, but I still haven't seen anything credited to my account yet.

rashamba · 04-23-2009, 12:25 AM

I just want to say that I did ask for a refund and it processed next day. I do not think they are wanting negative publicity or bad reports to credit card companies. The only way I see this product as effective is if you are a high level marketer wanting to research competitors in a market you are going to build your own product for.

saffillo · 04-23-2009, 01:23 AM

I also tested out GCD quite extensively, but it wasn't giving me any positive results. For that amount of money, I would rather spend it on testing campaigns if I'm not getting the great results as mentioned on the sales page.

I asked for a refund on April 11th and it was processed on the 12th. However, when I checked my credit card statement to confirm if the fund was indeed refunded, it wasn't. I waited a few days thinking it might take a few days to process... and now almost 11 days later... nothing has been refunded yet. I submitted a new ticket after the 4th day and have yet to hear from anyone. I also tried calling, so I can speak to someone, but it always directs me to a voicemail (!?!?) This is the first time I'm getting this kind of problem with customer service and I must say I'm not impressed at all.

Please keep us updated if anyone gets a refund back. Lesson learned...

jack101 · 04-23-2009, 02:08 AM

I don't think there should be a worry about refunds. They're not absolutely stupid. They have created a small fortune even if there is a 50% refund rate. And not making refunds within the 30 days would bring the house down. My refund took about 7 or 8 days. But then there was a time zone difference, and it had to go through their billing dept, my credit card company and my bank. And there were 2 week-ends. I'd suggest not getting too nervous until someone reports a refusal of a refund request made within the 30 days. And so far there has been none reported here.

Aggh.. forum spambots infiltrating this thread too...

Anyway, I got an email from GCD about my refund that I requested back on Apr.8th - you probably got it too so I guess we just have to sit tight...

"Thank you for your email.

After receiving emails from our customers regarding their refunds. We have found a glitch in the refund process that has caused a delay in the communication between our end and your credit card company. We are working to resolve this issue and will be getting your refund credited to your account as quick as possible.

We appreciate your patience and apologize"

On another note, and get ready for the onslaught of promotion for another tool coming soon - I will puke when I start getting emails from the "gurus" who pitched us on GCD2.0 and then they will have the audacity to pitch this next one. I'm actually looking forward to this product, but I'm not looking forward to the plethora of hyping that will inevitably start from all the gurus who are still counting their commission cheques from their GCD promotions.

Do you really think they give 2 sh*ts that you just spent 2k - and gave them 1k in commissions? Will they even think twice before sending you the promo on this NEXT tool?

I doubt it.

Before you buy the next product through a guru's emailed affiliate link, make sure you ask yourself what was the true value they provided to your purchase and did they deserve that commission - or are they just continually pitching you stuff because you bought one thing from them in the past and now they feel it's their God given right to pitch you everything else under the sun because you're on their buyers list...

something to think about.

wyoming · 04-23-2009, 03:19 PM

I asked for a refund on April 9th. GCD responded (I jumped through the hoops) and GCD confirmed refund on April 13th and said payment would be in 3-5 business days. The refund has not hit the account as of April 23. In the meantime, support has been responsive but the answer is "your refund has been processed".

I am new to IM and greatly appreciate the Warrior Forum. The product was highly promoted under the concepts of 'direct linking works' and 'GCD is the ultimate tool for direct marketing success'. I followed the training, program, research and strategy in GCD for direct linking using exact copies of ads, campaigns and keywords designated as highly profitable by GCD. Although the process was a good learning experience on basics, I had no success with direct linking. In the GCD forums, zero success seemed to be the norm. I personally refunded because the product did not perform as advertised. For the price, it should.

Overall, I agree with 4-runner's comments as to the reasons that the direct linking concept did not work as advertised. I would also add that the initial launch was problem after problem and created no confidence in the product.

Agreed. Or to quote from an email Perry Marshall sent out to his list yesterday:

"If my emails are wasting your time, then UNSUBSCRIBE.
Get off my list and don't let me waste any more of your time.
Your time is valuable. Treat it like it's worth $1000 an hour
and someday it will be.

Same goes with every other email list you're on. Has
the person given you valuable insights and help in the
last month? Or has he only constantly pitched you on
stuff?

If it's the latter, then unsubscribe. That person is not
contributing anything to your life."

Good advice.

DukeNasty · 04-23-2009, 04:19 PM

Wyoming,

Don't feel bad. After multiple requests, I finally got an answer from GCD on April 15th, stating that my refund had been processed, refunded to the credit card I used and should post within 3-5 business days. Of course, as of today there was still no refund so I logged back onto GCD and sent another "Urgent Refund Request" support ticket. This is the response I received:

Thank you for your email.

After receiving emails from our customers regarding their
refunds. We have found a glitch in the refund process that has caused a delay in the communication between our end and your credit card company. We are working to resolve this issue and will be getting your refund credited to your account as quick as possible.

Customer Support

My question is this. I can only imagine that there must be tons of bank issued credit cards used so how in the heck could they have problems with the bank. It sounds like the problem is on their end...not with the banks. Obviously they knew this was a problem (the refund process), but my guess is that they do not communicate with the customer unless you proactively communicate with them. Or in other words, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I have been pretty disappointed in my GCD experience (horrible launch, couldn't log in to the forum for a week, policed posts on the forum, etc.) and now it is even a simple process to get your money back...even though you were supposed to be covered under a money back guarantee. We will see how this pans out, but I am pretty disgusted by the fact that they did not give a time frame for resolution in the email they sent.

E.

tres-echeverria · 04-24-2009, 11:11 AM

Hey DukeNasty,

I was searching on Google for others who have had trouble with GCD / Chris Carpenter, products and refunds, and needed to post my experiences here as well, from a customer's point-of-view as well.

Sorry my first post needs to be negative, but people should know what to expect from GCD, Chris Carpenter.

DukeNasty, unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. I was told 2 weeks ago that my refund was being processed.

I called my credit card company today and they said no credit was ever issued.

When I contacted GCD support, they sent me the same canned response that you got;

Hi,

Thank you for your email. After receiving emails from our customers regarding their refunds.We have found a glitch in the refund process that has caused a delay in the communication between our end and your credit card company. We are working to resolve this issue and will be getting your refund credited to your account as quick as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.

Kala

Why did they wait 2 weeks to tell me this?? They have my email address.
My guess is that they're stalling and/or planning to NOT issue the refund.

Needless to say, their explanation is a bold-faced lie and a horrible attempt to insult the intelligence of their customers.

Any merchant who accepts credit card knows very well that they do not deal directly with their customer's credit card issuing bank. NO! It's the merchant's Card Processing Service that deals with the credit card banks. The merchant's Card Processing Service processes both refunds and credits, then sends them in batches to the credit card companies.

I find it extremely-hard-to-believe that their Card Processing Service has a "communication issue" with refunds.

Of course, as any scam would have it, there were no "communication issues" when it came to CHARGING all their customers k/n/a "victims".
It's anyone's guess how many millions they profited from this operation.

This is starting to feel like a genuine rip-off. It's a true shame that Chris Carpenter and Company have decided to take the low-low road here.

Once thing for sure is that I will never buy anything from Chris Carpenter again or from any other "Guru" who finds it OK to ever promote any of Chris Carpenter's crap. I hope the others on this forum experiencing the same trouble can step up and do the same, so that the so-called Gurus will think long-and-hard about pushing and praising a bad product the next time around.

Regarding the refund problems, if anyone else is getting the same run-around with their refund from Chris Carpenter, please post here.

Even though the charges came from a Mequon, Wisconsin company, Chris Carpenter supposedly lives in Mexico. I'm sure the Mexican Federales would be very interested to hear about this situation involving transactions potentially in the millions of US dollars. You don't want to mess with those guys. For those interested see, mexicomapxl[dot]com/society-and-culture/police[dot]html . If someone knows the official URL, please let me know.

P.S. My advice to anyone even thinking about buying or even trying Google Cash Detective; Stay Away and save yourself the wasted time and the frustration of using an overly-hyped product that DOES NOT WORK as advertised.

PPS. If anything should change, ie; I get my money back, I will update my post.
Good Luck to all.

mido · 04-24-2009, 02:45 PM

I sensed there would come a point when the rush of refunds would create some back pedalling from GCD. It seems that this is happening as we speak.

I went for and received a refund almost a month ago because I felt GCD wasn't delivering as promised. I actually said in my refund request to refund me without asking why I wanted a refund and also said that if it wasn't actioned within 48 hours that I'd be seeking a charge back. They delivered.

I am in the process of unsubscribing from all the lists of the "Gurus" that promoted GCD too.

One that I was particularly "p**s*d with was Amit at PPC Classroom 2.0 which I had joined as well and have since unsubscribed. Perhaps if enough of us refuse to jump on these overhyped launches in the future we may get some ethical conduct back in this business.

One good example of ethics in IM is Gauher Chaudrey. I'll support him anytime.

I hope you guys asking for refunds get them.

RKWebster · 04-25-2009, 07:08 AM

So how is it going? Is anyone making money with GCD??

alherd · 04-25-2009, 01:43 PM

By all means, stay away from Google Cash Detective! I ran 50 campaigns following Chris Carpenter's step-by-step videos.
Not even a single campaign made money. Most didn't even make a single sale.
The product is terrible, the training is terrible, the support is terrible.
To top it all off, I requested a refund 10 days ago and have received nothing. No one even replies to emails asking about refunds.
My next step on monday is to file a chargeback and to file a complant with the Wisconsin Attorney General.
Chris Carpenter is a fraud.

Amit is the reason I cancelled PPC 1 and PPC 2. Hey may be a good teacher but one never knows if he constantly promotes other products. Even if they are in competition with his own brand. Run dont walk.

Ok so the following have requested a refund within the 30 days and have not received it yet even after their accounts were canceled and their refund was confirmed:

alherd, mido, themarketingdirt, Philipc, BigG95, toolleather, saffillo, wyoming, DukeNasty, tres-echeverria

Is this right? I wonder how many more there are which just don't happen to be here on WF.

saffillo · 04-25-2009, 03:13 PM

I submitted a new ticket 2 days ago and I received the same generic email as the others have had along with another email titled "Google Cash Refund Notification".

"This is to let you know that your refund for the Google Cash Detective or Google Cash Automator has been processed.

Your credit card ending in *** has been credited a total of $**.00.

Please note that it normally takes between 3 to 5 business days to see it on your account. Thank you,Amy, Google Cash Support Team"

I will wait 5 more days and see if I have to call for a charge back.

Hi YUSUF, Confirmed. That is correct. Cancelled within the cancellation period. So far no refund has been issued. No response from Chris Caprenter/GCD except for the canned messages already posted by the many others who have been ripped off here.
There must be hundreds more in the same boat who don't know about Warriorforum.
Chris Carpenter's charges came from Mequon, Wisconsin (a suburb of Milwaukee)
Im located in Chicago and I know that The Wisconsin Attorney General is very good about following through on allegations of fraud.
We can also file with the Ozaukee County, WI Attorney General, if necessary.

There was also a suggestion from tres-echeverria about getting in touch with the Mexican Federal Authorities (does Chris Carpenter actually live in Mexico with his family, or is this part of his deception/fraud?).
Bottom line is that we need to put the heat on frauds like this, or we can kiss our money good-bye and let the Chris Carpenter types come and back rip more people off. He has no right to our hard-earned money, and has no right to spend it, or enjoy it, or share it with the "Guru" fraudsters who pushed his products right along-side him.

Everyone: Keep your paperwork; emails, credit card receipts, screenshots of the GCD support screen, etc...

I am in the process of unsubscribing from all the lists of the "Gurus" that promoted GCD too.

One that I was particularly "p**s*d with was Amit at PPC Classroom 2.0 which I had joined as well and have since unsubscribed. Perhaps if enough of us refuse to jump on these overhyped launches in the future we may get some ethical conduct back in this business.

One good example of ethics in IM is Gauher Chaudrey. I'll support him anytime.

I hope you guys asking for refunds get them.

I still haven't received my refund either from April 8th after the canned response. The irony is, I sent another email telling support how displeased I was with their lack of response and they sent me the SAME CANNED EMAIL AGAIN!! (the one everyone else got about the "glitch" with their payment system) what a crock.

I totally agree with purplemagic about Gauher being a total stand-up guy. Others are Andrew Hansen, John Barker, Marc Lindsay and Daniel Turner from PLR Pro, Michelle MacPhearson, Keith Baxter, Perry Marshall to name a few others... (and I'm sure there's others, but I just didn't happen to buy their stuff

Scary thing is, I've bought a lot of crap over the years, and my inbox used to be filled with pitch after pitch after pitch... but now I'm so much more productive (and profitable) just staying the course and "killing the noise".

That's what GCD sent:

"After receiving emails from our customers regarding their refunds. We have found a glitch in the refund process that has caused a delay in the communication between our end and your credit card company.

The glitch seems to fixed and your refund should be showing in your account in 3-4 business days."

Hi Guys, I finally got my GCD refund today after sending 10 tickets, 2 emails, and calling my bank twice and waiting for 17 days. I'm just glad the case is closed and I got my money back without filing for a chargeback. From this incident I've learn 2 important things.

1. If I ever buy a big ticket IM product again, I'll make sure I buy through Paypal.

2. There's no such thing as a Magic Bullet. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

If you can spend weeks following a particular IM product launch and shelving out 2k buying the next big thing, you might as well spend more time and money launching, testing and tweaking your own PPC campaigns.

Yusuf · 04-27-2009, 01:37 AM

I'm happy you got your refund. Everyone else keep us updated please.

As far as I know it's safe to buy IM products through ClickBank as well. Does anyone know of any refund horror story with them?

Another thing you can add that I've learned personally:

3. Do a simple Google search before buying. After problems started showing up early on, I did a search and found people complaining about GCD1 a few years ago. In post 584 of this thread I said: "GCD 1 was a bomb as well. Read this and this.. it's funny cause people are saying nearly the exact same thing this time around."

You may also be able to add:

4. Don't trust any products promoted on the lists. GCD2 gave out huge generous affiliate commissions and so everyone was promoting it to get their huge chunk. Of course none of those people are helping with everything once they got their commissions and JV gifts.

My refund DID show up this morning in my account - I only sent 2 messages to support since my original request on Apr.8th and both replies came back with the same form-letter that most of us received about the glitch.

Celleek brings up a good point about the merchant account possibilities, but it looks like they were at least able to process refunds as of today so this is a good sign for those that are waiting in the queue.

Yusuf, you're absolutely right - big IM launches are ridiculous - one day a Guru is giving his "best bonus ever" and then the next day he's right on the next laundh with his next "even more bestest bonus ever"... and again and again... Just got more "spitch" mail from PPC classroom (SPAM + PITCH = SPITCH - you heard the term here first by me

about Mark Ling's Affiloblueprint re-launch. Mark has got some great stuff but since he's offering some great affiliate bonuses, expect the onslaught from the rest of the "spitchers". To note, Chris Carpenter is on the top leaderboard for Mark's launch!

Moral of the day, all of us should be praising what a great forum this is and advising your lists that before they buy ANYTHING, turn to the cumulative wisdom that is found within this forum.

Have a great week everyone and hope you get your GCD refunds processed without too much (more) delay

Wow - I hope you guys get your refunds soon. That's not a small sum of money to be waiting on. I received my refund fairly quickly but requested it about 3 weeks ago I think. I also left PPC classroom as well and have removed myself from their lists. Just as an aside, right or wrong, this is how I've been signing up for any "recurring" accounts. I have either an "extra" checking account that doesn't have much money in it or a Paypal account, also never very full and use the debit cards for either of those to sign up. Then, I have the credit card protection there but can also pull the money out of either of those accounts easily if I need to cancel something and the other party won't cooperate. I'm not a flaky chronic canceller at all but I dont' want anyone having access to my main personal checking or business accounts either. Paypal also has the cancellation feature built in for recurring charges... I've recently learned that also. I'm still a newbie here and I hear of waay too many people getting snookered in IM. I've found WF to be a great place to prevent that from happening... too often.

This isn't about whether the software works or not anymore, but a matter of honest business ethnics. You state a 30 day guarantee, you either honor it or it's fraud. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm trying to contact Chris to get my money back without filing a charge-back. Can anyone provide me a working phone number where I can call his company directly?

I have nothing good to say about this software at all. If you don't have $2-3k to start these campaigns....then forget using this software. GCD was the worst product ever...they charged me $2188 instead of $1997 although they did refund me. I don't know many people that are keeping it. The forums were so tightly locked down because they were afraid the negativity would lead to a mass exodus. I'm a PPC Classroom VIP member and new here....I thought I would put in my experience. It wasn't good at all. I wish those who do have it the best of luck.

I also tested out GCD quite extensively, but it wasn't giving me any positive results. For that amount of money, I would rather spend it on testing campaigns if I'm not getting the great results as mentioned on the sales page. I asked for a refund on April 11th and it was processed on the 12th. However, when I checked my credit card statement to confirm if the fund was indeed refunded, it wasn't. I waited a few days thinking it might take a few days to process... and now almost 11 days later... nothing has been refunded yet. I submitted a new ticket after the 4th day and have yet to hear from anyone. I also tried calling, so I can speak to someone, but it always directs me to a voicemail (!?!?) This is the first time I'm getting this kind of problem with customer service and I must say I'm not impressed at all. Please keep us updated if anyone gets a refund back. Lesson learned...

They're not absolutely stupid. They have created a small fortune even if there is a 50% refund rate. And not making refunds within the 30 days would bring the house down. My refund took about 7 or 8 days. But then there was a time zone difference, and it had to go through their billing dept, my credit card company and my bank. And there were 2 week-ends. I'd suggest not getting too nervous until someone reports a refusal of a refund request made within the 30 days. And so far there has been none reported here.

wyoming Warrior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 2 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts	Re: Google Cash Detective? I asked for a refund on April 9th. GCD responded (I jumped through the hoops) and GCD confirmed refund on April 13th and said payment would be in 3-5 business days. The refund has not hit the account as of April 23. In the meantime, support has been responsive but the answer is "your refund has been processed". I am new to IM and greatly appreciate the Warrior Forum. The product was highly promoted under the concepts of 'direct linking works' and 'GCD is the ultimate tool for direct marketing success'. I followed the training, program, research and strategy in GCD for direct linking using exact copies of ads, campaigns and keywords designated as highly profitable by GCD. Although the process was a good learning experience on basics, I had no success with direct linking. In the GCD forums, zero success seemed to be the norm. I personally refunded because the product did not perform as advertised. For the price, it should. Overall, I agree with 4-runner's comments as to the reasons that the direct linking concept did not work as advertised. I would also add that the initial launch was problem after problem and created no confidence in the product.

DukeNasty HyperActive Warrior Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 189 Thanks: 17 Thanked 53 Times in 28 Posts	Re: Google Cash Detective? Wyoming, Don't feel bad. After multiple requests, I finally got an answer from GCD on April 15th, stating that my refund had been processed, refunded to the credit card I used and should post within 3-5 business days. Of course, as of today there was still no refund so I logged back onto GCD and sent another "Urgent Refund Request" support ticket. This is the response I received: Thank you for your email. After receiving emails from our customers regarding their refunds. We have found a glitch in the refund process that has caused a delay in the communication between our end and your credit card company. We are working to resolve this issue and will be getting your refund credited to your account as quick as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience. Best Paige Customer Support My question is this. I can only imagine that there must be tons of bank issued credit cards used so how in the heck could they have problems with the bank. It sounds like the problem is on their end...not with the banks. Obviously they knew this was a problem (the refund process), but my guess is that they do not communicate with the customer unless you proactively communicate with them. Or in other words, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I have been pretty disappointed in my GCD experience (horrible launch, couldn't log in to the forum for a week, policed posts on the forum, etc.) and now it is even a simple process to get your money back...even though you were supposed to be covered under a money back guarantee. We will see how this pans out, but I am pretty disgusted by the fact that they did not give a time frame for resolution in the email they sent. E.

tres-echeverria Warrior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 1 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts	Re: Google Cash Detective? Hey DukeNasty, I was searching on Google for others who have had trouble with GCD / Chris Carpenter, products and refunds, and needed to post my experiences here as well, from a customer's point-of-view as well. Sorry my first post needs to be negative, but people should know what to expect from GCD, Chris Carpenter. DukeNasty, unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. I was told 2 weeks ago that my refund was being processed. I called my credit card company today and they said no credit was ever issued. When I contacted GCD support, they sent me the same canned response that you got; Hi, Thank you for your email. After receiving emails from our customers regarding their refunds.We have found a glitch in the refund process that has caused a delay in the communication between our end and your credit card company. We are working to resolve this issue and will be getting your refund credited to your account as quick as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience. Best Kala Why did they wait 2 weeks to tell me this?? They have my email address. My guess is that they're stalling and/or planning to NOT issue the refund. Needless to say, their explanation is a bold-faced lie and a horrible attempt to insult the intelligence of their customers. Any merchant who accepts credit card knows very well that they do not deal directly with their customer's credit card issuing bank. NO! It's the merchant's Card Processing Service that deals with the credit card banks. The merchant's Card Processing Service processes both refunds and credits, then sends them in batches to the credit card companies. I find it extremely-hard-to-believe that their Card Processing Service has a "communication issue" with refunds. Of course, as any scam would have it, there were no "communication issues" when it came to CHARGING all their customers k/n/a "victims". It's anyone's guess how many millions they profited from this operation. This is starting to feel like a genuine rip-off. It's a true shame that Chris Carpenter and Company have decided to take the low-low road here. Once thing for sure is that I will never buy anything from Chris Carpenter again or from any other "Guru" who finds it OK to ever promote any of Chris Carpenter's crap. I hope the others on this forum experiencing the same trouble can step up and do the same, so that the so-called Gurus will think long-and-hard about pushing and praising a bad product the next time around. Regarding the refund problems, if anyone else is getting the same run-around with their refund from Chris Carpenter, please post here. Even though the charges came from a Mequon, Wisconsin company, Chris Carpenter supposedly lives in Mexico. I'm sure the Mexican Federales would be very interested to hear about this situation involving transactions potentially in the millions of US dollars. You don't want to mess with those guys. For those interested see, mexicomapxl[dot]com/society-and-culture/police[dot]html . If someone knows the official URL, please let me know. P.S. My advice to anyone even thinking about buying or even trying Google Cash Detective; Stay Away and save yourself the wasted time and the frustration of using an overly-hyped product that DOES NOT WORK as advertised. PPS. If anything should change, ie; I get my money back, I will update my post. Good Luck to all.

I ran 50 campaigns following Chris Carpenter's step-by-step videos. Not even a single campaign made money. Most didn't even make a single sale. The product is terrible, the training is terrible, the support is terrible. To top it all off, I requested a refund 10 days ago and have received nothing. No one even replies to emails asking about refunds. My next step on monday is to file a chargeback and to file a complant with the Wisconsin Attorney General. Chris Carpenter is a fraud.

Everyone else keep us updated please. As far as I know it's safe to buy IM products through ClickBank as well. Does anyone know of any refund horror story with them? Another thing you can add that I've learned personally: 3. Do a simple Google search before buying. After problems started showing up early on, I did a search and found people complaining about GCD1 a few years ago. In post 584 of this thread I said: "GCD 1 was a bomb as well. Read this and this.. it's funny cause people are saying nearly the exact same thing this time around." You may also be able to add: 4. Don't trust any products promoted on the lists. GCD2 gave out huge generous affiliate commissions and so everyone was promoting it to get their huge chunk. Of course none of those people are helping with everything once they got their commissions and JV gifts.
