Unauthorised charge creep from myloans.com

A single mother friend of mine approached me with her horror ordeal of seeing an unauthorised transaction from myloans.com of £69.99 macclesfield company of uk registration. The horror is that she has not even heard of this company. Digging up further research the company owner also owns Enhance Financial Services and Claims Angel.. the directors of all 3 companies a playboy millionaire fraudster who dailymail reports he is currently in court ordeal with Australia's judicial system for rape allegations Gregory Cox but names of other directors found on company database also a Michael Christian Ransom.

So back to my friend as she was looking for a loan she may have entered her details to one website a broker style and her details got passed around to third parties. But still she had not borrowed anything yet and why did this company take out 69.99 without her consent from her natwest account? She had only 1.50 left to feed her kids so furious she called the fraud helpline.. got transferred to visa and to no avail she's left in the dark about who she can trust to either get her money back or throw a brick at the company.

Being in debt is not a crime nor should you be taken advantage of being in that position or viewed as irresponsible for giving financial details to a broker who's job IS to help you locate to borrow funds and besides she didn't borrow in the end she got a family member so why should they have the liberty to pay themselves without a prenotification point of sale or agreement? visa and natwest won't help because you had negligently given details to a fraud in the first place!!!

With that attitude 'daylight robbery' is going to be a common thing then what are we going to do about this mess? This is against the law and soneone needs to close that business Down! Not a minute longer as reading the threads online ut looks lije so many others are being affected and shut out in the dark ocer this fraud and scam...Why should Visa.. the bank turns a blind eye?? indespicable!!!

Google to use more TV ads

Google+ is a social networking platform that is set to rival Facebook, aiming to make sharing more like sharing 'real life'.

Google's marketing budget remains small in comparison to most companies its size like Microsoft which unlike Google, Microsoft spends approx around $1bn a year on Media in the US alone!

But Google's leap in spending its adverstising budget which saw a spend of $137.5m in the first 9 months of 2011 in the US, on TV, Print, Outdoor, Radio and Online Display Advertising.

Promoting movie rentals on YouTube & Internet Safety via running poster ads on London buses and underground. 

Obi Felten, Google's director of consumer marketing for Europe, the Middle East & Africa is always looking for the best way to connect users with their tools, such as from a 'good to know poster ad' or a film ad during an xFactor break.

Google's having to work much harder to convince consumers to switch from Facebook or Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser, despite the strong network support from imaginative / creative agencies such as BBH, M&C Saatchi and its own in house creative lab.

Currently Facebook has 800m users which still shows it's foothold in Global markets today.
