Dear Google. I hope you go out of business. Your products are terrible and only serve to exploit people for the financial gain of a few. There is absolutely no way to contact you. You reading a personal email from a prospective employer and somehow putting it in a hidden spam folder cost me $90,000 in lost pay and benefits as I ended up taking the same position through another lower paying contracting agency. I eventually left the job as I was slowly going broke because I never received the important time-sensitive information. Google has NO business reading the content of emails and making determinations as to where to put them. Google Sucks!

I ended up complaining to PayPal and they arranged a full refund from this organization. I have read that PayPal doesn't always do this, so I count myself fortunate. In the meantime, I notice that SafeCart is no longer on Facebook. I still marvel that they are or were able to do business in what could most kindly be described as a most unconventional way. I also wonder why there appeared not to be a specific Canadian government agency able to deal with such disgraceful corporate behaviour. Perhaps something has finally been done in the intervening time.

You should make it known before you start making your resume that you'll have to pay to download it. I would've made it without the help of Resume Now had I known. I also had an issue while working on the skills section where everything written would simply disappear at random. Aside from that I like how simple and easy the resume making process was and I like the way mine came out.

I have been trying to get into my account for my youtube for 6 months. Google just keeps locking me out. Locking out your customers with no customer service or intention to help them is the worst I've seen yet. I keep trying to recover it but thanks to their genius system, I keep getting locked out. I contacted them personally for help and still nobody has helped me. What a waste of time. I have had my youtube since 2013, you would think that counts for something, but I guess they are more worried about making money than helping the people that got them where they are today... Thanks for nothing google.

What happened to the internet? Use to be a mostly honest, easy, welcoming network. No more. NOt with controlling monopolies like Google who only care about profits and maintaining their control and privacy invading grip over everyone. Needs to be broken up and thrown the wind. The sooner the better. Nothing is free with Google any more, they just want to get your money. They have ruined countless good companies after taking the over such as Skype, which is now a hacked-by them-medium, not safe to use, nor reliable.

Google is the best out there. No one can dispute this or argue with a fact such as this. One of the features that I enjoy especially about Google are the creative ways they celebrate memorable people in history. They sometimes change the word "Google" into wonderfully designed interactive special effects that one can interact with so as for example to remember the birthday of a notable figure in history.
I remember how they celebrated Jim Henson's birthday where they had these interactive Muppets that one could click on and each Muppet could do something that was very funny and comical. I will never forget this.
For me they are among the best when it comes to creativity out there.

When I ask Google specific stuff I want a specific answer not 20 different sites opinions. I said Bryce Mitchell knockout and what do I get a bunch of freaking BS this doctor that doctor I wanted to see the knockout show me what I asked for you stupid asses I am so sick of the people that pay Google getting their place in lineup as far as getting there 10 seconds of fame it's sickening if you ask a question get an answer not a bunch of other sites which make you end up going in circles I still after four tries have not seen the knockout of Bryce Mitchell I can't believe it it's so $#*!ed Google sucks at this and they need to fix it, maybe AI will help who knows.
Tip for consumers:
I might have to start checking out Bing I never have cuz I always like Google but lately Google's just been ticking me off so bad It just seems like there's too much riffraff you ask for an answer to your question and you don't get the answer. You get the runaround.

First, let me say that I'm a new user to this site, where you can post photos, join different communities and share all sorts of things. However, I am tired of seeing so much porn on this site! There seems to be no way to block these photos and videos from being seen by me and/or my grandchildren! If this doesn't change - I may leave permanently. I find a lot of photos/videos on there VERY offensive.

I like the site, the only reason why I give a 3 stars is because you either found good sites to learn, to answer your questions and to get informed... As you get rip-off with sites that are not honest and steal money professionally. Most of the people, me included... trust Google for about a 90% of our questions... So... It will be so much better if the creators of this awesome site could prove how trusted are the sites posted using Google's name.

Total value for money. Very good quality product. Personalised items are the best. I ordered a black mug with my daughters pic. It was a plain black oneand then I poured warm chocolate milk. It then showed her pic. Loved the amazed look and excitement on her face. Thanks F &P for making magic in these difficult times.

Introduction to the Internet
20 mini chapters for non-techies as an introduction to the internet, browsers, cloud computing, web apps, browser plug-ins, HTML, Java, cookies, security, etc., etc.
Written and supported by the Google Chrome team it is obviously biased to Chrome, but covers other browser choices as well.
It's a quick read, clear and informative as a basic introduction for non-geeks. It won't help everybody – my 87 year father still thinks 'cookies' is a rather odd American word meaning 'biscuits'…

But in my work coaching high-level executives, I've come to realize that many of the professionals who have the hardest time building a network are those who view themselves as "lone wolves" who have succeeded on their own merits and don't rely on others. Intellectually, they recognize the benefits of networking, and know they should do it. But they've achieved their current status on the strength of solo (or near solo) efforts, and adjusting their mindset and behaviors can be challenging.

It is not worth it to sign up for the Google Ad Sense program. It is hard to make more than a few cents a month. Second, it is too easy to be banned for life without cause. After being notified that my account was being terminated for invalid click activity, I filed an appeal explaining that I never clicked my own ads, urged others to click my ads or artificially generated clicks on my blog but they wrote back saying they could not reinstate me.

This is a scam website offers a printable doctors note, and the image does not display correctly to print. Takes your money no contact information no response by email. If you press the back button and click on view the document again it charges you twice.

I formerly used Google for search, but in recent years (writing this in 2019) the company has become so politicized that their search results don't represent anything except the bias of the management. Very sad. It didn't have to be like this.

Yet again I cannot leave a bad review about any company on google yet when I leave a 5 star review it gets published instantly. Google are trying to become richest in world so all they do is write good reviews for companies that pay them money. Google reviews waste of time reading.
Date of experience: July 16, 2021
I have left multiple reviews for companies over the years on google, some great, some not so great. They have removed at least 4 of my honest negative reviews. No profanity or anything that goes against their review guidelines. No explanation either, reviews just disappear from view, poof! Businesses are either paying them off or businesses can just flag any review they don't like and it goes bye bye. I will no longer leave ANY reviews on google, good or bad. I will stick to yelp as they appear to have some integrity in their review system.
Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time reviewing companies on google as they will just delete them.

Google game store and there affiliates; are no better then modern day gangsters. They use algorithms. To keep track of your every day lives, through algorithms and they sell them to the highest bidder! I have turned off all permissions on my phone including including my location. I believe my privacy is to large a price to pay for convenience! All the apps on play store are set up to bait you into giving up your social media contacts and not to cheating you out of your money to play rigged games that you will never get ahead on. And there's no recourse, except here on the Internet. Its time for us to start speaking out against these dishonest giants, do you really trust Google to keep track of every move you make, everything you buy, eat, look at, and so on. I think you get my point! The question is are you going to do your part and speak out or just let them steal your information?

I recently got my hands on the Google Pixel smartphone, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The camera quality is outstanding, capturing crisp and vibrant photos even in low light conditions. The display is sharp and vivid, providing an immersive viewing experience for videos and games. The overall performance is smooth and responsive, thanks to the powerful hardware and clean Android interface. Additionally, the battery life is excellent, easily lasting me through a full day of heavy usage. Overall, the Google Pixel exceeds my expectations and sets a high standard for smartphone excellence. Highly recommended for anyone in the market for a top-tier device.

I have damaged my pixel more than any other phone I have ever had. The iphone 5 lasted years for me... Not Google's junk.
I was deployed overseas and my phone fell and the screen broke. Contacted Google because I was locked out of every Google account (email and all apps on phone). They had no solution. Basically told me too bad; you have insurance but we're not going to help you. On your own buddy!
Again back int he USA, phone screen breaks. I ask for a replacement phone. One week later no phone. I order a new phone because I cannot wait any longer. Low and behold as soon as I purchase the new phone they say my replacement is on the way... Now they want to charge me $800 for both phones + what I paid for out of pocket to fix screen again?
Customer service ranks all time low. Avoid like the plague

Just don't buy a Google phone

Rip off. Thankfully my Discover card rep. Got the rep. From SafeCart on the line and apparently my Safecart charge has been cancelled. Shameless business practices. They are associated with ParetoLogic. How can either of these cos. Still be in business?

After reading all the reviews I was really starting to get nervous about getting a refund. I hope this helps someone else... I called *******908, stayed on hold about 5 minutes then when someone came on the line I could actually understand them! I told them I was requesting a refund and to cancel all future subscriptions. They ask me why, told them I no longer needed their help and that was it. Refund hit my checking account 3 business days later. BUT I will still keep an open eye on my account for any future billings from them

TOTAL RIP OFF!
They charged me 39.95 for a registry cleaner, and after calling them to
Activate it they did a scan of my computer for problems. The red flags went out,
Major disaster is imminent. Then they tried to con me into a 200+ dollar fix.
And now after the supposed six hour fix time, they wanted to sell me on PC MR I for 500 dollars... Not to mention the 19.95 a month charge for tech support.
Close to 800 dollars for a computer i paid less than 300 for.

One star because I had to pick at least one. Ran this site to help a friend out. I've used others, but don't recall them, sad to say. This SafeCart was a total money scam from the press of the enter button. Although my initial amount was two dollars and change and the site did absolutely nothing for me, I feel cheated and disappointed. I will try to contact them in the morning and if I get further negative results where they will cancel my 5 day introductory membership, I will cancel my card (very, very, very inconvenient) however, it's the point of the old saying as my mom would be saying, " Watch the pennies and let the dollars take care of themselves". How wise and true. I will not allow myself to be charged more than the two dollars plus that they charged me for nothing. Please stay away. There are other sites that are more than happy to follow the motto of... keep the customer happy!
