THIS IS GENERAL ADVICE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS HAD DEALINGS WITH BLAZINGKEYWORDS.COM.<br />
This outfit runs a multiple scam which initially gets you to purchase a Kit costing just $1.97 which supposedly shows you how to make good money posting Google links on websites. They get your Credit or Debit Card details online for this purchase but you receive no kit.<br />
They then use various company identities to fraudulently withdraw money from your bank account.<br />
These appear on your bank statement as follows with a toll-free phone number and the amount usually withdrawn :-<br />
888-249-2354 Inquire Financial - $72.71<br />
888-204-5967 Credit-4-Me - $29.90<br />
877-851-4063 Online-Search-Help - $72.21<br />
877-208-5903 Daily Grant - $38.34<br />
My research shows that for some reason everyone gets ripped off for the same amount depending on the trading name used. The scam is not restricted to within the USA - I have been hit by all FOUR above and am resident in the United Kingdom. Attempts to call these numbers usually result (in a foreign accent) that they have nothing to do with these companies - which may be true. It has also been suggested that these scammers actually operate from<br />
outwith the USA.<br />
What to do - if you notice any of these transactions on your statement or have responded to the $1.97 offer giving your card details, notify your bank/card supplier (Credit or Debit) immediately and tell them to cancel it and issue a new one. You should ensure first to withdraw sufficient funds to tide you over as the replacement may take a week or so before you can<br />
use your new card.<br />
Ask the bank/card supplier to investigate the bogus withdrawals as you did not authorise them, which should give you a chance of being refunded, and also help to build a dossier on this scam.<br />
You may also wish to notify the Police as the more complaints they receive the greater the chance these<br />
criminals will be caught.<br />
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not be embarassed about being caught out - you are certainly not alone.<br />
With the easy transferance of currencies using cards this may well be a world-wide scam.<br />
I wish you good luck and let's get these scumbags.

This thing is wrong!! I had no Idea that I was going to be charged without my consent!!! I am £46 out of pocket due to this scam!! Is there any way I can get my money back?

This website makes promises of being able to work from home by posting links on Google. It even supports it's pie-in-the-sky claims with a new clipping (from something called News5alert) of a woman who is supposedly supporting herself very well from doing this at home work. I admit, I fell for it.. for at least 5 minutes until no user name/password appeared in my email as promised (but credit card was quickly charged!) When I called to complain I was told my account is "being processed" and to call again within 24 hours. What a joke! I immediately canceled my credit card and I am so glad I did after reading all of these other complaints of how this place is tacking on bogus membership fees to people's credit cards (and it is mentioned they will do that in the fine print if "membership isn't canceled within 7 days.. and don't forget... you sit and wait for the first 24 hours while your account is "being processed!) however, when you first sign up you are not forwarned that cancellation must be done in writing and now you have just wasted 24 hours!) By all means, steer clear of this place and if you have found yourself involved, I highly recommend cancelling your credit card. I think this is the only way to take control. These people are scam artists to the nth degree!!

Thought I signed up for some sort of Google Business Kit that was supposed to cost about $3. Got an email from Blazingkeywords.com saying that I had signed up with them-if I did, it's news to me...they were going to charge me about $73 for a membership that I did not sign up for. I immediately emailed them and called. I was told I was not in the computer yet and had to call back. I did and canceled. Found charge for $1.97 and thought that that was the end of it. Oh no-days later, a charge for $38.84 shows up. Call the phone # to find out what the hell that is about and get the run around from someone who barely speaks english that I had ordered some other program (later found out to be Grantmastersonline) and she is far less than helpful and when I told her to send me proof that I had signed up for any such program, she hung up on me.

I called the number again and got a male who advised me that somehow I had also signed up for this program and since I hadn't canceled it (how I was expected to do so when I didn't even know it existed is beyond me) and he said the only thing I could do was send a nasty letter to the corporate address he provided and maybe I would get a refund. I asked him if there were any other secret programs to which I had been improperly enrolled and he said there were no others-not denying that I had been scammed by this one-argh.

Read about some others scammed by this, went back and read the terms and conditions for Blazingkeywords which I had copied and saved on my computer just in case, and there is absolutely no mention of any other programs. Someone had posted the phone # for this grandmasters scam 888-246-9734, so I called there to tell them to cancel the account that I had not opened and they said that it had been already canceled. I asked how something I didn't even order could be canceled and why I had been charged since I didn't sign up for it and there was no mention of this in the blazingkeywords welcome email or terms & conditions. She said the only thing she could recommend was to send them a fax at 801-812-8096 to demand a refund.

Was wondering if anyone else out there was successful at getting a refund and if so, how did you go about it?
