		<description>THIS IS A SCAM! Thanks for the post. I nearly paid for it. I was only a second away, when it said &quot;click here to confirm you have read the terms&quot;. So i decided to do that, and WEHEY! You get charged $59.99 after 3 days. Its a scam because it doesnt mention anywhere on the site, that you are going to be pulled in like this. Guys like these need to be shot in the walnuts for taking advantage of people who are already struggling.</description>

		<description>GregJames: Did you read or even tried to read the comments posted here? Like mine? Or you just felt like posting here? Or worse, you&#039;ve read it but you stupidly commented? I am a victim of this scam, and so are most of those who commented here. Personally, I signed up for GOOGLE PROFUSION and was asked to pay ONLY half of the shipping fee. But after a long wait, I didn&#039;t get anything - NOTHING but a full charge of the shipping fee plus a WTF-i-don&#039;t-know-what&#039;s-that-charge for! In fairness to Jonathan, he has helped a lot of people already, those who were lucky to have read this blog before signing up.I have 2 questions for you: Why on earth you&#039;re questioning us for calling it a scam if we haven&#039;t tried it WHEN WE ACTUALLY ALREADY HAVE??!!?!?! And the other question is, HAVE YOU? If not yet, why don&#039;t you? All I can say is GOOD LUCK! Think first before you post anything here. It appears that your fingers type faster than your brain work!</description>

		<description>Dear Greg,

Would I be correct in assuming that you then have tried it? And have done so with success? It would be very interesting if you could share your experience and success report with us. Everyone here volunteers an opinion (without having to sign up for anything), and you are certainly entitled to yours; it would be very interesting and of value to all of us if you could report on your positive experience with Google Profusion. 

And just out of interest, I can assure you that we are not &quot;internet newbies&quot;. I for one have been an Online Marketing &amp; eCommerce Strategic Consultant for one of the world&#039;s largest CRM consultancies since 2001.

The intention of this forum is not to badmouth products without warrant, and no one has any personal agenda; we simply share the actual and factual experiences of real internet users (with different levels of competence), with the view of giving those making the effort to do research before committing, some independent views and a fair chance.

Looking forward to hearing from you again.

		<description>Errm, it&#039;s not me that&#039;s calling it a scam! This is the response of people who have been caught by this system and their credit card has been fleeced to the tune of $60 - 70 when they thought they were only paying for shipping. And that sounds like a good description of a scam to me.

I&#039;m happy to admit that I haven&#039;t tried &#039;Google Profusion&#039; or any of the other names that it goes under. That&#039;s not the point. I HAVE tried plenty of dvd programs as you can see from the reviews on this blog. The &#039;scam&#039; in this case is the so-called &#039;free&#039; trial for 3 days. No-one I&#039;ve corresponded with yet has described that they received any 3 day trial before being billed for the full amount, plus a couple of other subscriptions that were unwarranted.

Personally I DO feel people should be warned that:
a) the 3 day trial is nothing of the sort and
b) this system has NOTHING to do with Google sending you checks as is claimed

And I&#039;m not asking anyone to sign up to anything to find THAT out!</description>

		<description>How can you people call this product a scam if you haven&#039;t tried it? Just becuase you read it was a scam in some shills forum? Have you ever bought a &quot;how to&quot; dvd/program before? This site is actually the scam. Using title tags like &quot;Google Profusion Scam Uncovered&quot; to get traffic. Pathetic. This is called negative marketing people. Essentailly, all Jonathon wants to do is get your email so he can email you his scam products. Watch out internet newbies!</description>

		<description>Hi Sheika

You should call your credit card company and tell them you have canceled your subscription and make sure no further charges are made by the originator to your account. Most credit card companies are sympathetic if you have been caught by this sort of scam and will do their best to get a refund (called a charge back) if you are unhappy with the service from the supplier. However you have to give them all the details and show them that you have done your best to cancel the account, which in your case it looks as though you have. 

Do give your credit card company as much detail as you can, when you signed up, the address and telephone numbers given to you and so on. Best of luck.</description>

		<description>Hi jonathan! Unfortunately, I have signed up and gave my sister&#039;s cc details. That was last Nov.29 and until now, I haven&#039;t received anything other than the DO NOT REPLY email they sent me right after signing up. I tried to go back to the website (i bookmarked it) but everytime I tried, I would only get OOPS! THE LINK APPEARS TO BE BROKEN... then I started to believe that it was really a scam. I still kept on trying  until I found your blog. I tried to call the 1-800 number the provided in the email if i have questions about billing and order, but i can&#039;t go through. I am from the Philippines and I&#039;m not sure if I could directly call the 1-800 or should I dial some prefixes. Please help me. I have already canceled my account through their website, but I&#039;m afraid it won&#039;t do any good. Is there a way for me to cancel the transaction in my sister&#039;s credit card? The charge hasn&#039;t reflected yet in her statement. Thank you so much in advance.</description>

		<description>Get on to your bank in the morning and make sure no further payments are put through on your debit card from the originator. Tell them you&#039;ve cancelled but you need to make sure that no further charges are made. Hopefully it won&#039;t cost you!</description>
