I ordered information about getting a government grant. All I received was  two CD's and was charged $3.87. Then my account was charged $39.95. Then was another fee amounting too $59.95 for something called Dri Reg Net. Whatever you do don't get involved with it please. Still waiting on my money to be returned.  They are scam artist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Regardless of whether they claim to have cancelled your charges, these types of scams generally keep charging your account until you make that no longer possible.

    Immediately contact your bank to dispute all unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and close the account to prevent future fraud.  Follow up with your bank dispute by sending your dispute in writing to the dispute address on your statements, and make sure you send it so that your bank gets it in less than 60 days from the statement date showing the dispute, to preserve your FRB Reg. E or FCBA dispute rights.

    I did not authorize this charge of $59.95 and am furious as to how they got my credit info to charge my credit card.  They are suppose to refund me, we will see.  I have reported them to the fraud unit and my bank.

    HI,

    I got in the same shoes like you yesterday trough a scheme put together under the 'umprella' of Google Profit Library. So I did not read the Terms of usage in advance, payd the $1.97 and when did not get any chance to print or did not get conformation by e-mail 'started thinking'. Then I googled the Google Profit Libraray faund about the tricks got back to the initial site, printed the terms and conditions and stated making the phone calls to cancell the subscribtions to the third parties

    In my case I have been subscribed to:

    I am so thankful for Armen's posting.   I knew about Grant Line because I did print out the receipt.  I never in a million years thought I was being scammed because the name Google appeared with the ad.   Grant Line also tells me there is no account for me.  I do not believe them.   I believe it is a scam to get you to believe you have no account and then they bill your card.  I was able to get in touch with Dream Pro and cancelled that one today.  Then, on a lark, I called the last number on Armen's post and lo and behold they had an account for me with XM Brands which I promptly cancelled.  I am afraid there may be others out there, so I am closing my account tomorrow.   I will never, ever order something like this online again.  Grant Line is out of Utah and I filed a complaint with the Utah BBB.   XM Brands is in Hollywood, CA.

    People Like This Should Be Shot!

    As I have tried to call over & over this number 1-888-228-8815 in order to cancel my account with you like it states in your Terms and conditions and all I get is an answering machine telling me to call back during business hours in witch you seem to not have, I’m left with this as my only form of communication.

    The cancellation from on your website only returns an Error Msg and tells me to call the number that know one answers. I would like a cancellation confirmation by email with in 24 hr if you please.

    Thank You

    We did close our account and got a new number, and they still got their hands on us.  They somehow got our new account number and started using it.

    Don't trust no name companies with your hosting needs.

    Use the following known hosting companies:

    http://www.trendyhost.com
    http://www.bluehost.com
    http://www.hostgator.com

    TrendyHost.com is my current company and they are epic. They rule when it comes to service, price and even offer a 1 cent first month deal just to try them out. It is all over the site.
