In late april, 2015, i received a phone call from steve chappells, (650-279-4040) claiming to be from google. He somehow got me to say i had started a web based business that had not provided any income and proceeded to tell me that the website had been operating and sendin pay-per-click money to a company that went out of business so the checks were returned to google. In order for me to receive the backlogged money ($20,546.36) i would need to relicense the domain which would cost $1,998.20. After relicensing, it would take 30 business days for me to receive the money and the relicensed domain name would then provide me a monthly income of between $1800 and $2200 a month.
Even though they were not able to give me the name of the website because they said only a code number was available to them, i authorized the $1,998.20 to be charged to my mastercard. Steve had me speak to mike o'hara (650-279-3885) to process the charge. I was told to call either of them anytime and steve told me he could not wait for my call after receiving the $20,000.
About 2 weeks later. I called steve chappells to check on the progress of this process. I waited while he pulled up my file and said everything was on time and there were no red flags. Originally june 20 was when i thought i would receive the money, but i counted days instead of business days, so we decided july 10 was the right date.
July 10 came and went with no money and every time i tried to call either steve chappells or mike o'hara, i got no answer. I pulled out my mastercard statement which had a charge from green tree development on the statement in the amount of $1,998.20 with a phone number of 480-395-9867, so i called the number and spoke with don sanders who then asked for the last four digits of my mastercard. He was to check with steve chappells and get back to me. Not only did he not get back to me, he blocked my calls to him.
Last week i called chappell's number to give him a piece of my mind and got a message saying his mailbox was full so i could not leave a message. Mike o'hara did answer his phone and connected me to steve chappells. Chappells said he had tried to call me several times, but i know that he did not try and did not leave a message. He remembered me saying i had more than one domain name when i was trying to determine if i was the owner and he said another "mirror" domain had started automtically and that meant that my backlog was now $41,092.
In order for me to receive any money, i would need to relicense this mirror site so it could be "married" to the original site. The way to do thatt was to make out a check for $1,995.16 and, using fedex or ups, send the check to the red mountain holding company. Once i had done that, i was to call chappells with the tracking number and i would have my money in 15-17 days. I told him i wanted to sleep on it and he started the "i'm not here to twist your arm; i am trying to help you out, but if you don't want or need the $40,000, etc., etc." he then said that if i did not want to move ahead he had no choice but to call his accounting department and tell them to auction off the site. I still was not comfortable moving forward and his tone changed immediately and he acted as if i were being toally ungrateful for all the work he had done on my behalf. I told him to go ahead and put the sites up for auction.
Not five minutes later, his "accounting" person called me and i went through somewhat the same routine with him. I told him i would be perfectly happy with the original $20,000 and one website. He got really indignant and told me he was not going to try to help me further because i was a miserable person.
I have disputed the charge on my credit card and am still hoping that can be reversed. If i had sent a check, it would have been cashed in a flash and i never would have heard from them again, nor would i have been able to get in touch with them. I did report them to google and they advised me to tell my local police also.
I am an elderly woman on a fixed income with little savings. This money and additional monthly income would have saved my life. Instead, it has made me more discouraged and depressed than ever. When i found the other posted i knew i needed to tell my story also. These people are unscrupulous, miserable crooks and this scheme is a definite ripoff! i wish someone would find them and send them away forever.
