Hi Everyone, I have a question (scammed)

As others I let my guard down. Have never been scammed before and knew straigh away when I noticed the additional charges on top of what I thought. I immediately called my credit card services company and had a fraud alert put on my card. I also have the 1-888 number referred to in an earlier post.

Grrrrrrrrrr!!

I hope more of us fill out form on the internet crimes web site, it might help getting them shut down.
And if more of us called Goggle maybe they would stop accepting sponsored links from this bogus company.
I noticed one of the sponsored links has been replaced with a new website selling same thing. If you go to the main home page this same company is selling all sorts of software links to FREE programs. Makes me sick.

Called the customer services number this morning and got a full refund (except the 9.95 fee). I will be more careful in future.

I just called Google again. He said he is aware of this bogus company pretending to be Google. I asked him why they would allow sponsored links from a fraudulent site.
He says they are not, that if you know how to do it you can get links under sponsored shaded area... wtf you have got to be kidding me.

Any way I got 9.95 back too, canceled the card and will not ever trust google searches again. Looks like yahoo has them too.
