The Better Business Bureau serving Central California is warning consumers about a Fresno business marketing itself as "Your Profit Gateway."

The company, Master Internet Profits at www.affiliatetrainingacademy.com, says it can help people make money using ads on Google.

The Fresno-based company has received complaints from across the nation in the last two weeks. The BBB has given it an F rating, saying the business failed to respond to 11 complaints.

Consumers are complaining that their credit cards were charged $89, despite the company marketing a free trial period and refunds. They also complain they never got access to the site's training material.
