    That is specifically one of the sites that is what has prompted the FTC regulations. It has been around for a while, and is getting a lot of people pissed off. It is a huge scam going around.

    Scam sites like that is what gives us a bad rep. The people that run them don't care. when they get shut down,they just find a new way to scam people.

      Yea I did, They hit me for $3. I want a refund. I'll call the bank in the morning and put a stop payment on this puppy. Suckered me in then it stated my "trial period" no where did it mention trial period I thought I was buying a real product.

        lol....

        But, it's the google money kit!!

        You didn't know...You can make bank just by putting links on Google

        In all seriousness though, make sure you contact your bank FIRST thing in the morning...because I'm sure you also didn't notice the other $80 that you are going to get hit for in about 7 days....

          LOL, right the kit. Is this new? No, they had me hooked at the price. Afterwards I read their outrageous hosting fees way at the bottom, I just started laughing at how dumb, I regressed into a sheep again, bhaaah
          They will get the merchant smackdown in the am. Dont worry, be happy.

    Thats funny, these guys really use Craigs List alot and they will send you a webpage with your city on it, like Kansas City Gazette or whatever city you live in, its annoying for sure but pretty easy to tell its a scam when you know your city does not have a gazette paper.

    Sorry they got your email, hopefully they did not get your money.

    Dumb is falling for the same trick twice. Stupid is falling for it repeatedly.

    If you learned anything from this, and know not to do it again, you ain't any of the above.

      True. What started out as legit quickly turned into a scam and I failed to noticed it because I thought I was buying an actual item not the phish pharm. Today is the 1st huh. maybe I can sue. The fact is I knew better already yet the slickery got me. Smooth.
