Review of google.com customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is google.com registered on BBB?
google.com is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
To put it short, I downloaded the free trial version, it scanned once and scared me with some "900 issues detected" and asked for money in order to get full license to "fix" those issues. Well, shame on me that I paid! What happened next was after it claimed that all issues had been fixed, my computer ran right in to bigger trouble of random reboot, sudden shut down... Even worse thing happened when I tried to uninstall this total system care program, my Norton anti-virus software gave red alert that the uninstall module of that program was a malware! And it can not be uninstalled.
Luckily I had a system image saved before all of this bad stuff happened, so I signed off the subscription of the total system care (yes, you have to do this manually, or the default setting will be automatically charged your credit card for renewal of the license. Keep this in mind if you have been fool enough jus like me to pay them once), and completely re-imaged my hard disc.
The take home message: Don't trust this company and its product. I had made a huge mistake, hopefully you won't do it again after reading me experience. I gave it one star only because there is no zero star rating.
Who am I? An informed and concerned user of the internet. I talk about digital rights, the possibilities of technology, and online security.
Toluna US is a bunch of dishonest crooks when want to make you feel good but take as much advantage as google.com can and deny any responsibility for their misconduct.
I had a number of complaints with crooked US Toluna. They give irrational excuses for performing badly or failing to keep t heir agreements. Even reasonably answering my questions. Bunch of crooks. I hope that their clients buying their surveys read this a nod reconsider that the accuracy of the surveys may also be of low quality.
To survey companies, I would add another company along with Toluna and compare the results. At least do a rotation of surveys to ensure you Toluna are getting a reasonable average of the survey results.
When I threatened Toluna with a lawsuit they cut me off, took away all the credit I earned.
The value is so small and I am so busy, Toluna deserve a class action lawsuit. How much Toluna pay in damages is not as significant as the legal fees Toluna will pay to avoid paying damages and avoid bad publicity. Generally, Class action settlements include a clause keeping the entire litigations secret. You are not allowed to tell anyone unless you pay them back damages. Therefore, the public never knows when a crooked company like Toluna makes as settlement. As trials are very expensive, your attorney will encourage you to take the settlement.
From my experience having several successful class actions and never losing any, Toluna will both be so blatant in their misdeeds, just more careful how conceal and hide and confuse you with the tricks to rip you off. One court ordered all the clients be sent a letter that I had been wronged and how much the wrongdoer had to pay for their wrongdoing.
Suing people won't teach Toluna honesty, it teaches Toluna how to better hide their dishonesty.
Toluna is a waste of time unless you enjoy spending the time with them Sometimes I feel my input is valuable. When it comes straight marketing, I expect to be compensated for my knowledge, experience and opinions. Otherwise, Toluna steals my intellectual property and experience, and it should be a crime. At least Toluna is cheaper than gambling or buying prostitutes, bet realize engage with Toluna you are yourself a prostitution victim, even if you like it.
If you want to earn money, there are better ways. If you want a massage from US Toluna, expect your generals to be exploited. If you like that that is up to you, but it is still illegal. Toluna sucks ovaries and balls.

Chrome has some neat ideas - each browser tab runs like a new window, keeping each webpage siloed such that if one tab crashes, it doesn't bring down your entire browser. Also, supposedly Chrome is more memory efficient (Firefox suffers from RAM creep and used over several hours and dozens of webpages and tabs, often needs to be restarted). Also the URL bar does double duty as a search bar.
However, when loading websites, I found Chrome to be noticeably slower than Firefox 3. For me, nothing is more important than the speed of the browser and Chrome feels slow (almost as slow as IE7!). Also, Chrome lacks the ability to bookmark sites, directly email webpages. Walt Mossberg wrote a good review on this in the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB*******28891285.html?mod=hpp_us_inside_today
My conclusion: Chrome is a nice idea, but I won't be switching anytime soon unless it becomes faster than Firefox 3.
Outcome of a refund request is pending, but in the meantime, I reported the transaction to the FCC and encourage those of you who've also been scammed to also report the company to the FCC so that (hopefully) something will be done about Safecart and its nefarious practices. The FCC form is at: https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx?#.
With just a quick Google search regarding Safecart, I found the following links to forums, threads, reviewing sites, etc. relevant to Safecart and its practices:

Why hasn't Paypal blocked Safecart?

Update: After about two weeks of posting on Google's forum for their products (I forget which one but if you need help, feel free to message me) and requesting domain privacy one of their advisers kindly helped me. Be aware you have to know how to confirm that you own the domain through advanced settings (it's not hard but for people not familiar with that, it might be confusing). I had to nag them a few times but I think that being google.com don't officially offer customer service, I appreciate the adviser who did help me. I noticed that some of the people who request help on the forum do not receive replies from official google advisers - I'm not sure if it's because of time constraints or something else but I would advise this is the only way to get help and that the advisers really do try, despite google's own shoddy lack of customer service.
This is a review for one of google's side services: DOMAIN registration/hosting. It is absolutely horrible and I recommend you stay far away unless you want to SIGN UP for a free trial JUST to get customer service. It just shows that no matter how much money a company has, they go far above and beyond and EVEN FURTHER in this case than my worst expectations to screw you over.
I think google services hands down have the worst, most clunky user interfaces ever.
I registered two domains with google in 2011ish. I paid using google wallet and everything seemed easy. The domains were managed via google wallet. They had google apps for free to manage your domain and domain related services. Fast forward to now when I realized I needed to alter something - I cannot for the life of me login to Google Admin for domain services.
Every email account I have with google does not work, when signing for google apps business because here's the catch... IF YOU'RE HAVING ISSUES migrating from the old system to the new one, THEY OFFER ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE to free google apps users. That's right, there's a pin you need to call them only offered to business, non profit and other clients. You cannot email them about your issue. Well when I go on google apps business for the free 30 day trial just so I can get customer support ON HOW TO LOGIN to GOOGLE ADMIN I get re-directed in these horrible loops to the same screen where my account cannot login to google admin and thereby I cannot upgrade to google apps business.
I almost went crazy trying this for two hours I posted in their support forums (no longer manned by google reps mind you, but kind people) and with a sinking heart I realized that THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU. I rarely get worked up and I rarely give such negative reviews, but this is the first time I've come across this. The thing is, they've renewed my domains for $50 up until now. It's not like I'm a FREELOADER. I think regardless of whether a user is a google apps business user or not, as long as they've PAID MONEY registering a domain with google they deserve a basic level of customer service.
Eventually I figured out that I had to set up an admin account from the original email with the domain registration. But another disparaging remark about google admin - it's as poorly organized as google sites (another horrible feature of google services). Not only is the non renewal feature NOT WHAT THE EMAIL instructions are - it's through clicking this weird greyed out sign (since when is clicking random symbols an adequate method for important stuff like not getting charged?). At least I have the safeguard that my credit card info has expired with google so that even if they tried to they can't renew my domain. I was almost wanting to cancel my credit card because for a few hours there, I had no way to access control of basic things.
Bottom line: if you blindly think that registering a domain through google is hassle free, think again. They update their interfaces, where things are located (domain renewal is no longer under domain settings, but under billing) all the time with NO SUPPORT and inadequate documentation, use hieroglyphic symbols to what it seems like me to try to throw you off on purpose and generally take no responsibility for their paying customers, past or present. STAY AWAY --- I'm now thinking twice about using google wallet. Who knows when they'll switch something up two months later and I'll be screwed with no access to customer support.
I purchased some items from a website claiming to sell Italian made items. I contacted the website and got written confirmation that the items will be designed, produced and shipped from Italy. So I ordered a few items.
But as I found out MADE IN CHINA, PROMOTED ON THE WEBSITE, AS DESIGNED; PRODUCED AND SHIPPED FROM ITALY.
When the time came to get the items I got DHL tracking number and after checking, I noticed my order is coming from HONG KONG. I contacted the company but google.com told me is cheaper to send from Italy to china and back which made no sense. I couldnt do a thing about that and ended up losing over 500euros. The company devised and uses legal loophole marking the item as custom. Therefore no payment protection plan is possible. They also threaten me with a lawsuit if I keep posting reviews of what they did to me.
I did the only thing I could, posting reviews and comments to warn people on the internet to be careful to buy from this site.
But all the reviews and comments that have connection to google such as google maps, youtube etc. even the sites that I logged in through using my google account were censored and removed without even telling me.
The site that I was scammed and robbed by, must be paying google to let their site come higher in the search results. And also they must be paying them for advertising the site. Therefore making them a paying customer of google.
I do not understand that google uses this kind of tactics to protect their paying customers, even if the company is cheating and stealing from people. I have tried to contact google but there is no specific way to get to the correct person to present the documentation and finding that I gathered.
The company that have scammed me is freely posting fake reviews all over the internet without anyone stopping them. I urge google to contact me so I can show them that the money they are being paid with is stolen and they are supporting and promoting scammers and thieves.

It has made my sites better.
I have learned other sources of traffic and income. (it is dangerous to depend too much on one company), DIVERSIFY. It's safer.
I have learned clean, Google sanctioned, tricks.
"I have learned clean, Google sanctioned, tricks.
Most of my sites are a 3 or 4 page rank. But I noticed that is not so important to Google any longer. Here is a little something I wrote to another reader/writer.
"Ramon F. Do not fear, Google is not giving too much thought to PageRank any longer, for the moment anyway. May be it is because of what you said, young site are looking good these days and Google want them to have a chance at the top as well. Just concentrate on making your customer happy and if your site reflects that, you will be OK.
Good luck on your new site, and Kick some ass out there".
If you search online (Bing, DuckDuckGo, google, etc.) for "Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialists" or "podiatrists in Seattle," "bestfootdoc.com" (Photo 2) will likely come up on top of the search. Click on it opens an ad for "Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialists" with a Google review thumbnail (Photo 1) on the lower left, currently showing a rating of 4.9/5.0,131 reviews as of 09/05/2021, and another one for request appoint on the lower right.
Problem is, most of those 5-star reviews are fake!
In June 2014, I went to Dr. Brandon Nelson at Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialist for a small bump that was caused by rubbing with a stiff shoe. Dr. Nelson misdiagnosed it as bunion, did a bunion surgery that was not even required, and botched it. The surgery left my left leg permanently impaired.
I went to Dr. Brandon Nelson because of his glowing reviews on Google, Yelp, and other social media platforms. After the botched surgery, I realized most of those reviews were fake. Dr. Nelson had negative reviews on Yelp, but google.com were moved to 'not recommended category,' which I didn't even see at that time. Had I seen those negative reviews or realized that so many of his 5-star reviews were fake, I would not have gone to him, and I would still have a normal healthy left foot today. I feel I was duped into using this doctor.
After the botched surgery, I posted a one-star review for Dr. Nelson on Google in Nov. 2017 and updated it in Jan. 2020 after a trip to another country in September 2019 for medical treatments. A couple of weeks later, Google removed both my original and update reviews (Photos 3 &4). However, Google kept Dr. Nelson's fake 5-star reviews up.
Google 'Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialists' or follow the link below and click on the earlier reviewers' names with more than one reviews to see their other reviews. Most of them also reviewed one or more of the following businesses: Seattle Mobile Detailing, Prime Mobile Detailing, Mold Removal Today, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Social Cow Marketing, First Response Restoration, Subway, etc. Coincidence? I don't think so. They are fake reviews. This doctor had this flaw fixed on his recent reviews. However, most of his recent reviews are still fake reviews.

Google knew most of Dr. Nelson's reviews were fake, and Google chose to profits from his fake reviews. Google is unethical!
Google, state regulators, colleagues and staff of Dr. Nelson, and people who posted the fake reviews for a few dollars all failed their social responsibilities. They are all at the same level, and they don't care!
In addition to fake reviews posted by others, Dr. Brandon Nelson posted two fake 5-star reviews for himself on Yelp, which were later removed by Yelp after I flagged them. https://www.reddit.com/user/MingCherng/comments/kyajh0/fake_doctor_reviews_expos...⇄ />
You can view some of Dr. Nelson's fake reviews I caught at https://www.reddit.com/user/MingCherng/. They are just a small fraction of Dr. Nelson's fake reviews you see on Google and other review platforms.
Because of my experience with a botched foot surgery, I started paying attention to online doctor reviews. Over the years, I have deduced some key points to check on doctor reviews to determine if they are fake or not, with great accuracy. You can view them at https://www.reddit.com/user/MingCherng/comments/te71kp/how_to_spot_fake_online_d...⇄ />
Don't fall for fake doctor reviews. Your family members and trusted friends are the best source for recommendations for competent doctors/surgeons. In absence of their recommendations, the next best source for recommendation is probably your primary care doctor. And, always get a second opinion when deciding a surgery.
For all of you who unthinkingly use Google to get all your information, have you ever thought google.com are a private company with private interests and despite all their rhetoric there are some things they want you to see, and others they don't?
Imagine if ONE COMPANY owned every single library, book shop and newsagent - choosing which titles to put at the front, and which ones to hide away. This is Google. And its power is scary. Having a monopoly over access to information has been sought by maniacal dictators for decades. Google have achieved that. They have even become a regular component of the vocabulary. Want to find something out? Just 'google' it!
And why do you think you're hearing about no investigations into them? When was the last time you heard something questionable - like the millions they avoid in paying tax? Or findings in courts about manipulating search results?
Nah, of course you haven't - or don't care. Just keep on typing in queries into their search engine, because they own YOU.
Hello - 2 charges on my debit card and 1 charge on my credit card. Needless to say I called and cancelled my bank account immediately.
I would have never caught the one on my credit card if I had not caught the two on my debit card.
Okay now I start a little investigation of my own. I call their customer service number. I explained the charges. She could not even verify my phone number so I was not going to give her anything but my name. I firmly asked to speak to the billing department. She told me she could get them on the line with us. I said no, I wand to speak with the billing department and I wanted a valid phone number for them.
She told me she could not do the. I asked her where she was located... Her answer was the Philippians.
I have my credit card on the line as I proceed through the steps until I reach $$$$ has been charged to your account.
I continue to the next step: Click here to activate your account! I never clicked the account activation...
Buyer Beware Stay away from Safecart if possible and especially be very careful Spyhunter!
Sergey Brin while google.com were Ph. D. students at
Stanford University in California. Together they own about 14 percent of its shares and control 56 percent of the stockholder voting power through supervoting stock. They incorporated Google as a California privately held company on September 4,1998 in California. Google was then reincorporated in Delaware on October 22,2002. [8] An initial public offering (IPO) took place on August 19,2004, and Google moved to its headquarters in Mountain View, California, nicknamed the Googleplex. In August 2015, Google announced plans to reorganize its various interests as a conglomerate called
Alphabet Inc. Google is Alphabet's leading subsidiary and will continue to be the umbrella company for Alphabet's Internet interests.
Sundar Pichai was appointed CEO of Google, replacing Larry Page who became the CEO of Alphabet.
The company's rapid growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products, acquisitions, and partnerships beyond Google's core search engine (Google Search). It offers services designed for work and productivity (Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides), email ( Gmail / Inbox), scheduling and time management ( Google Calendar), cloud storage ( Google Drive), instant messaging and video chat ( Google Allo, Duo, Hangouts), language translation ( Google Translate), mapping and navigation ( Google Maps, Waze, Google Earth,
Street View), video sharing (YouTube), note-taking (Google Keep), and photo organizing and editing (Google Photos). The company leads the development of the Android mobile operating system, the Google Chrome web browser, and Chrome OS, a lightweight operating system based on the Chrome browser. Google has moved increasingly into hardware; from 2010 to 2015, it partnered with major electronics manufacturers in the production of its Nexus devices, and it released multiple hardware products in October 2016, including the Google Pixel smartphone, Google Home smart speaker, Google Wifi mesh wireless router, and Google Daydream virtual reality headset. Google has also experimented with becoming an Internet carrier (Google Fibe
