Immediately dispute all fraudulent charges through your bank, and close and block any accounts they have due to fraud, to prevent additional fraud in the future.

"Google says Utah company using its name to defraud consumers
Lawsuit ยป Internet giant hits Pacific Webworks over deceptive practices.
By Tom Harvey

Google v PacificWebworks Google Inc. is suing a Utah company, alleging it is engaged in a widespread fraud involving thousands of people and millions of dollars by trading on the good name of the Internet-search giant.
Google filed suit in U.S. District Court for Utah late Monday against Pacific Webworks of Salt Lake City, seeking to shutdown dozens of Web sites under various names that are appropriating the Google's name and reputation to sell bogus products. The kits purport to allow people to make money from home with Google.
"The kit is advertised as free, except for a nominal shipping and handling charge or access fee," the lawsuit says. "However, people who sign up for these offers have their credit cards charged with substantial recurring monthly fees. They also receive little of value, or nothing at all, in return for their payments."
A tangle of companies and various Web sites linked to Pacific Webworks "perpetuate Internet scams on unsuspecting consumers" by appropriating Google's name and using its reputation, the Mountain View, Calif., company says.
The Utah-based companies "engage in the illegal and infringing acts alleged below through an interrelated network of entities that share common ownership, officers, managers, office locations, business and accounting functions. To avoid detection and identification of all those behind the scam, this network includes an ever-changing coterie of Web sites that utilize the same templates to generate the same fake news stories, fake testimonials, fake blogs and pressure tactics to drive unsuspecting consumers to credit-card processing sites like those run by PWW."
Google says the recurring charges on consumers' credit cards have generated millions of dollars in revenue.
Shares of Pacific Webworks, which is traded over-the-counter, plunged 53 percent in trading Tuesday, finishing at about 7 cents a share.
On July 29, the company was trading at 34 cents a share. In an amended annual report filed July 6 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company touted a 250 percent increase in revenues for 2007 above the previous year.

"Fighting fraud online: taking "Google Money" scammers to court
12/08/2009 12:00:00 AM
"Use Google to Make 1000s of Dollars!" or "Easy Cash with Google: You Could be Making up to $978 a Day Working from Home!" You may have seen offers like these using Google's name or logo that sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately, nearly all of them are, and, despite hundreds of consumer complaints and our own efforts to keep these sites from tricking people, some scams continue. To fight back, we're working to stop various fraudulent "Google Money" schemes, and this week filed suit against Pacific WebWorks and several other unnamed defendants.
Google hasn't created or endorsed any of the sites like those described in our complaint. Misleading ads try to take advantage of consumers in the midst of a difficult economy, and as the economic situation has worsened, the problem has only grown. As far as we can tell, thousands of people have been tricked into sending payment information and being charged hidden fees by questionable operations.
