It is a shame that they can continue, but the law protects them. If they are breaking the law and are caught by the FTC then they will probably only receive a fine and it will not be enough to stop them from just putting up another site and doing it all over again. It is by reporting them on sites like this and on sites like scam.com that some people will be saved from having to go through the ordeal that you have had to. I am disabling the link to the site because we do not want to give them any link credibility with the Search Engines. If I give the live link to their site it gives them one more link that allows them more credibility and Search Engine juice. That is one thing that none of us want to give them. These criminals have been reported on scam.com by myself and others prior to your posting. It is just sad that not enough people read the posts before encountering the advertisements. Again, thank you for sharing this. I personally hate it when anyone has to go through this. Yes they are criminals and they need to suffer for the suffering that they cause others.

I have found that going to your bank and filing the Federal Form E has been effective to get a chargeback. Also this site has been around for quite a while and has been reported on scam.com. The site online6reports.com changes the scams that it affiliates with about once a month, as soon as enough complaints and reports are made about the scams that it promotes.

I can only hope they will one day all end up in prison, where they belong. How on earth are such hoaxes as this allowed to advertise as a ligit business - and then rip you off by making unauthorized withdrawls on your credit/debit card? I thought I was ordering a $2.97 money-making kit; my account was charged the $2.97 plus an additional $135, and notification of ongoing $4.95 monthly assessments for web site creation and hosting services.

While doing an Internet search for the nearest SSI office (recently moved here), I noticed an advertisement at the bottom of the page. About how a woman in a nearby city was able to earn nearly $6,000 a day at home - spending as little as 17 hours on her computer each week. Of course it sounded like something I would like, so I clicked on the link and low and behold was brought to the threshold of the first scam artists ever to pull the wool over this ol' girl's eyes. I feel like such an idiot now. Good thing for me, I felt an inner nudge to check with my online banking after providing my debit card number for the $2.97 "home income profit kit" I thought I was purchasing and discovered that not only was there a $2.+ debit charged to my account, but a $139.95 one as well. After cancelling my debit card and requesting a new one, I initiated a dispute to obtain my money back. 10 minutes later, I get an e-mail from ICM Websites, telling me about my new website design tools and account activation information. Down at the bottom it said that AFTER my 3-day risk free trial "membership" I would be charged a one time fee of $139.95 plus $4.95 monthly thereafter. Of course I called the telephone number provided. After listening to a recorded message telling me my call would be recorded for quality control purposes, I was connected to a sales rep. When I complained about the surprise $139.95 unauthorized charge and demanded my money be refunded I didn't hear a response for about 15 seconds, just a "click." At first I thought my call had been disconnected, but then the representative came back on and explained that the charge was only "pending," and would not go through until AFTER my 3-day free trial membership had elapsed. (They don't waste any time, do they?! Oh, and what you wanna' bet my phone call had ceased to be recorded???) I cancelled the web site "maintenance and hosting" I didn't know I had ordered, and said it was a pretty deceitful way to con money out of people. I was provided with a reference confirmation number that may or may not be any good. Only time will tell. I provided debit card information for a $2.97 information kit, and was charged over $140. total for a website I didn't want or need. I already have a web hosting resource, and have the tools and know-how to design and set up my own web site - when and if I decide to have another. The reason I don't have one now is that for the last 4 years my health and mobility has seriously deterriorated - as have funds. The reason I reached for the brass ring when I heard about this money making opportunity! Here's what gets me. Even after immediately alerting my bank to the fact that there was an unauthorized $139.95 charge to my checking account I was unable to get the matter rectified. I had to request the proper forms to dispute the charge, by which time the money would already have been drawn out of my account and I would have to pursue the matter further in an effort to try and get them back. I am amazed that scams like this are allowed to go on. Not only that, but flourish under the guise of a bone fid business opportunity in search result advertisements like the one I found: hTTp://www.online6reports.com/FINANCE/online-jobs.php Unreal!!
