Subject: SCAM WARNING: GOOGLE MONEY PROFIT CD/ RAVEN MEDIA Fri Jul 11, 2008 6:52 pm
Just an FYI (and no BS):
There is a current scam happening by a Company called Raven Media (previously known as "SUMMIT GROUP") where they are charging folks credit cards $1.95, then eventually $39.95 (and in some cases $129.95) for a product (CD) called "GOOGLE MONEY PROFITS" or "GRANT MASTER CD".
You don't need to have ordered ANYTHING from this Company or have ordered the product or had any contact with them or the website: http://www.googlemoneyprofit.com/ . = SCAM!
Based on what information that is currently available online about this scam, it is VERY HARD to contact this company - and in instances once the Company has been contacted, they will A) refuse to reverse the charges and insist YOU had ordered the product, B) state they will reverse the charges, but then months later you get hit with larger charges or C) the Company's (Raven Media) 800 (866) number left for a person to call is inoperable....
There are also reports of folks getting hit with the charges WITHOUT ever getting a phone call from them for the initial scam... so somehow they are getting (or have) access to CC information too and are just charging CC cards WITHOUT CC OWNER'S PERMISSION.
If you have received any such charge - call your CC Companies immediately and explain to them it is a scam and you ordered nothing from that Company nor authorized it - have them cancel the existing card ASAP and issue you a new one.
IF you receive ANY phone calls from such a Company toting some "free" CD w/ $1.95 shipping, etc - DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFO AT ALL, DO NOT EVEN CONFIRM YOUR NAME OR ADDRESS, DO NOT OFFER UP ANYTHING - HANG UP!
