Google Treasure Chest Reviews

dailyartist April 30, 2009
Fraud, unauthorized debit bank accounts, abuse of advance consent/negative option
Upon checking the name Google Treasure Chest on the BBB site I found this about Them

Government Actions

On April 24, 2009 the Texas Attorney General's Office announced charges for operating a fraudulent work-at-home scheme against Infusion Media Inc, GoogleTreasureChest.com, InternetIncomeInitiative.com, and Jonathan D. Eborn ("Defendants"), whose "GoogleMoneyTree.com" promised six-figure earnings for conducting specialized Google and Yahoo Internet searches. According to the state's enforcement action, GoogleMoneyTree failed to clearly inform purchasers that they had been enrolled in monthly memberships and had only seven days to cancel their trial membership. Purchasers who failed to cancel within seven days were automatically charged $82 on their credit card statements each month. In addition to the unexpected credit card charges, customer complaints obtained by state investigators indicate that GoogleMoneyTree failed to actually send the "free kit" and refused to honor customer refunds. The state is seeking an injunction, civil penalties of up to $20, 000 per violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, as well as restitution for purchasers.

Also it appears that there are many addresses for Google Treasure chest.

Hidden Charges
I requested to have a CD from Google, about working from home; sent to my house for the cost of shipping. The ad never said anything about it being a trial period, and at the end of the trial I would be charged $72.21 each month. I also had a hard time reaching someone to correct this problem.

Unauthorized credit card debit and abuse of advance consent/negative option
This company is abusing the advance consent/negative option regulations.
FTC states: Requires Clear and Conspicuous Disclosure of
Material Terms and Conditions-Failure to disclose
material terms-violates Section 5. Disclosure :Presented prior to the consumer incurring any financial obligation

No where on any of their web pages beginning at the bait page are any of their intentions or disclosure of their intent made transparent or "conspicuous". Conspicious means: attracting special attention,
easily seen or noticed. (not hidden in some obscure link)

Steps to Hit back at Google Treasure Chest

1. Go to http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/03/unauthorized_charges.html
At the top right hand corner there is a complaint button. Go file a complaint against GTC. If enough of us do this maybe someone will take notice and shut them down.

2. Go the http://tips.fbi.gov and file a complaint there.

3. File a complaint with the Attorney General of your state.

4. File complaint with Better Business Bureau

5. File complaint with Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

If you don’t do anything other than file with just one of the above options it might help to stop this scam. Remember “There is power in Numbers”

Unauthorized charge on credit card
Received a CD Make Money From Home for a charge of $1.97. Never opened it and returning it as ten days later had a $72.21 charge on my credit card without my authorization.

unauthorized use of credit card
I ordered a program as advertised "" google treasure chest " for $1.97 and it came from grantspring.com
I immediatley discovered it was a bait and switch scam and cancelled the following day by phone and by
e mail. I receved a cancellation reference number of 042009-348-7459 . I requested that they remove this charge from my credit card account immediatley. About a week or 10 days later I get an alert from by bank card that a charge of $72.21 has been posted to my account. After checking it was grantspring.com out of Orem, Utah. I then called these people and had to get another cancellation just to protect myself. The problem I have with this is : this was a clear offense of unauthorized use of credit card or theft by credit card. They seem to be operating in several states including Jackson, wyoming. I have 2 pohone #"s on the company 1-888-247-2155 and 866-957-0020. They refuse to give you a managers or owners name. The Attorney General's Office in Utah really needs to shut down this scam operation and the thieves running it. I find hundred's of complaints on google regarding these people and their associates running the same scam with different names. Larry Kinsey Dallas, Texas

unauthorized charges to bank account
I tried to complain about this when the charges showed up unauthorized to my checking account and the phone numbers given are a recording that says they are open 8-5 Mon - Fri MST please call back during open hours, it then disconnects you. I called at 11 am PST, if I am not mistaken that is within the time frame of open hours that they stated. I have given all the information to my bank fraud department also to have them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Fraudulent Charge
The above phone number is listed but no one ever answers claiming they are only open from 8-5 Mountain time. Have called several times. No answer. Merely sent off for disk for this home based business. Today, incurred a $72.21 charge which was not authorized by me. Have read some other comments by others so I assume this is another scam. Does anyone have a number for this company where someone answers?f

Telephone Contact unavailable
I submitted my debit card details to Google Treasure Chest to purchase their CD on making money from home. I have not received the CD but in any event decided I wanted to unsubscribe. The website stated that although I was unsubscribed I would have to telephone to cancel any future payments from my bank account which I had not realised I would have to pay in any event. I cannot get hold of them by telephone and have e-mailed on two occasions to ask them to delete my name from their subscription list to no avail. Today I see $72.21 has been paid out of my account. WHAT CAN I DO???
