Hi, I think everyone should be beware of this online scam that ridiculously charge me $49.99 on my paypal account for nothing, useless membership. 2 months ago, I tried to look for online business and ways to earn money at home. I found this doing data entry online, it has a strange name called "online data entry business". They told me it's free, and it's only $1, etc and it is bundle with this and that. It also provides 40 days money back guarantee, if dissatisfied, email them to get back your $. I signed up and was being charged $49.99 and when I logged in, it turn out to be a useless membership, as in the information known to everyone and is found on the internet for FREE. It tells you the online data entry jobs available in US only and all applicants must possess some specialization certificate. They have another way is by doing affiliate marketing for strangers, strange company. The fact is you pay money advertise for people you don't know before you made money and the contact details only provide you with a invalid email address (bounce back many times) as the website say to save cost they don't have physical office. The next day, the website just disappear in the air. I was very anxious and I report a case in paypal, contact the seller stated in the address, but no reply for weeks. I escalate the case and asked paypal to decide on it and paypal closed my case as it's not an ebay item, I called up paypal and asked for any solution, what they do is apologize and they will take action (but no action in the end), asked me to contact the seller, but the seller is just MIA (missing in action). I wrote a question to paypal and asked them whether is there any channel or alternatives that I can report this and to prevent others from getting cheated. They replied to me 2 weeks later, saying they have no idea and I told them my difficulties, etc and they never replied to me anymore. I was upset with paypal's customer service. I tried to report it to BBB but it needs a contact detail, I have nothing to enter too. Now I had no idea where to report this, all I can do is to take it as a expensive lesson and prevent more people from getting burned from this website. |

Try to go to IC3.com - this is a website where you can report them using just email and website. This is the Internet Crime complaint board and is actually Law Enforcement (FBI). Sorry this happened to you - I think we all have at least one story about a company like that. |

Just by looking at the entire "bundle for $1" I know exactly what you're talking about. Scam? Perhaps, but that $1 is just a trial and then a few days later they charge you (unless you cancel first). But make sure to also report it at RipOffReport.com too and of course the site that Patrician gave you. It's amazing how people try to rip others online and barely get caught at that. |

When I logged in, it provides me with unrelated information that is trash and nothing like bonus bundle packages are there. All seems to be useless. Anyway, I have report it and I know my money is gone. Fortunately, one month ago, I found one legitimate and reliable online business, that is PIPS. | |

Sorry, It is a pity that men are heartless. All that everybody needs know is that in every action there is equal and opposite reaction.So, nemesis must caught up with such people. Do not be discouraged. |

Some site can charge you a little fee in the initial stage and then proceed with the larger amount afte a few days, weeks. If you where billed $49.99 instantly as against the agreement, then perhaps you have been scammed. Next time find people (forums) who know much about data entry to help you ascertanin the legitimacy of a site before pulling out your wallent. |
