Google Cash Scam
5/13/2009 update about Google Cash - it looks like the original Google Cash may be trying to distance itself from the recent onslaught of Google Cash knockoffs. The original Google Cash now redirects to GCWorkAtHomeSystem.com instead of AffiliateJackPot.
Important 3/28/2009 update: A new product is calling itself Google Cash. That is NOT the Google Cash mentioned at WorkAtHomeTruth. The new product calling itself Google Cash:
- Is NOT on the WorkAtHomeTruth Top 10 Recommended list.
- Has NOTHING to do with the Google Cash that was reviewed here.
IMPORTANT: The NEW product calling itself Google Cash is promoted from a site called OnlineWizard.net and has a $1.99 "Instant Access Fee" and then will charge your credit card $49/month after 72 hours unless you follow the procedures outlined in their Terms and Conditions. I have NO idea what that product is. You can tell that it's a different product because in the Terms of Service it's called the Online Wizard Success Kit.
I think some websites may also be calling the NEW product Google Cash Kit. I'm not 100% sure about that yet.
The FOLLOWING is about the ORIGINAL Google Cash product reviewed HERE at WorkAtHomeTruth.
Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But something GoogleCash is doing now is quite scammy. They pulled MY testimonial from my review of Google Cash and posted it on their new sales letter. The took my testimonial COMPLETELY out of context. In fact if you read on you'll see I don't even recommend that you buy Google Cash anymore.
In fact what I say on the WorkAtHomeTruth site is that I do NOT recommend Chris Carpenter's Google Cash to someone that is new to internet marketing. Instead of the Google Cash adwords method I suggest people click here to learn how to start with a method called Bootstrapping Your Business.
And if you DO want to learn Google Cash type methods I recommend you use Matt Levenhagen's Campaign Blasts method instead.
I see that Google Cash is now falling back on the "magic money" claim that you can make money at the system by spending only a few hours a week which while might be somewhat true after you've studied and used such a system for a year or so. But about 1 in a MILLION people would be able to do that right off the bat at all. And almost always you DO need a website to be able to do that.
Plus they're honing in on the dream of making money without a website. That's certainly possible these days but now the Google Cash system is probably one of the WORST and hardest ways to go about it.
In fact, one of the easiest, newbie friendly ways to make money without a website now is the Kindle Profits Exposed system which leverages the traffic of the multi-billion dollar company Amazon.com.
So. Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But I do NOT recommend GoogleCash at ALL anymore and they are nowhere to even be found on our Top Ten Home Businesses list.
Note: In order to clear up the confusion about which Google Cash is reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth, I've posted information below:
- GoogleCashGenerator.info promotes something called Google Cash Kit and sends their visit to the Google Cash product at TheOnlineWizard site - which is NOT the Google Cash reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Comments on Google Cash Scam »
i wanted to take a look at what it was.the next thing i know
was a 40.00 charge to my credit which i protested and then a 70.00 charge i think that it is a scam.all i wanted to do was take a looknot not buy it
i
i think it is a scam.it cost me 110.00 to just look at it.
and i did not buy it.i have tried to cancell several times
with no sucess.
I was scammed by Google and their sucess kit. I am out 120.00 now, they keep charging my credit card.
To those of you that have been wrongfully charged for this crap, here are the phone numbers to the 3 different companies that are involved. You can cancel your 'membership' through just one, but if you call and demand your money back from each, they'll give you a 'courtesy refund'. (nice courtesy, wasting 30 minutes of my day)

Hello, is this the same thing that you all are talking about? https://secure.visualwebtools.com/GoogleATM/gocx/?offer=go_cx_022509&incenta=11323-3376678#
Even though it says you only pay to ship the kit, the fine print says starting 7 days from now you will be charged $59.90 per month! If it really produces the results they are claiming, I guess that would be a small price to pay…
Any advice?
Hmm. I don't know what that one is Allison, but the best training I've seen for learning pay per click marketing - which it looks like what that one is, is Matt Levenhagen's Campaign Blasts System which you can read about here.
You'll see a lot of fake/shill reviews for Google Cash on sites like Facebook. Don't get suckered.
And get all that information for free over at
uberaffiliateguide.com
Ah, to the last poster (let's just call him "Glenn"). I saw that you have WorkAtHomeTruth.com site on your Fakereviewssuck.com site.
You clearly have no clue about what your talking about. Just because a site is using a affiliate links does NOT mean the reviews are fake.
I could make a fortune selling high ticket offers, negative option trial offers, or scammy offers. I KNOW how to do that, but instead I WARN people about those and offer them either free or low-cost information or specific ways to bootstrap their business.
I could scam people out of "$1.00 trial offers" all day long if I WANTED to. I've bought close to $300,000 in PPC advertising over the years and I COULD do that if I WANTED to. Affiliate networks would pay me anywhere from $17.00/trial to $35.00/trial to do that.
If you actually KNEW what you were talking about you would already KNOW that.
I do NOT do that. My reviews are "Independent Broker Reviews" which means I am trying to help people spend there money wisely - including sending them to free resources here:
http://www.workathometruth.com/blog/category/home-businesses/recommended-home-business-sites/
I've answered thousands of people over the years personally. I've helped people recover as much as $3000 WITHOUT charging them anything at all.
Of course, what sites like FakeReviewsSuck do is making it EASIER for the scammers to get away with their scams, because typically the element of proof for a "fake review" is not whether or not a review is using an "affiliate link". Anyone who's been online for years knows that's nonsense.
You want to do DEEPER analysis such as showing:
1) That the review site and the OFFERS promoted are owned by the same person such as in the write-ups I did in these places:
a) YourBillKiller write-up here.
b) SixFigureYearly write-up here
A site like FakeReviewsSuck.com is an example of a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing.
Just because you know ONE trick, doesn't mean you know at all what you're talking about, which you clearly don't.
If you want to see somebody that is actually HELPING people recover money, you can check out this discussion at Google Money Tree Complaints which is around 600 posts long of ME helping people to recover money…did I charge them anything for that? NO! There are NUMEROUS other blog discussions where I've been helping people recover money.
I'd LOVE to see YOU try to handle this kind of stuff all by yourself. Why don't you go post your FAKE REVIEW information in that Google Money Tree discussion? I promise I'll approve it. Let's see if they think you're a "hero".
That write-up and discussion fueld much of the write-up of the National Consumers League write-up here, and of course NCL is a resource recommended by many Federal Government Organizations and law enforcement agencies including:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/publications/infores/focuson2005/identitytheft/pfv.html
But somehow, Glenn, I don't think you're interested in following chains of "Trusted Hubs"…I think you're in love with your "one-trick pony" show.
If you saw the recent 20/20 show, WorkAtHomeTruth and several other sites that would qualify by this posters definition of "fake" helped out as resources for that show.
I also have over 2000 pages of FREE information on this site and free tools such as the Telecommuting Tool here.
When people like YOU lump sites that are actually ANSWERING dozens of emails, thousands of blog posts, and phone calls in with SCAM sites you just end up confusing people even more.
Although, I have to give you credit. You did manage to post a non-functioning link when you tried to help people out.
Oh, I see you just threw adsense up on your FakeReviewsSuck site right off the bat. You know, I struggled for over a year on whether or not to put up Adsense up, because of how difficult it is to control the ads that show up and I was worried about scam ads showing up…not you…I guess you just said…"woohooo…free money!"
Me, I finally decided after over a year to go ahead and run them and make sure the FIRST thing I do if someone signs up for the Newsletter is to immediately send them to this Rules page which warns people about Adsense type advertising even on the most legitimate sites.
Good job, Glenn!
p.s., Glenn. Did you even READ any content at UberAffiliate.com?
You might want to read this page in which the article recommends to create review pages and:
"2) Don’t rate them all 5 stars. Put your best converting offers at the top and make them 5 stars, but the bottom of the review list should only be 3 stars at most. This will make the user feel like these are all more honest reviews and also make them more likely to pick the highest rated offer (which you can put as your best offer with highest payout, etc)."
Guess how I do MY ratings Glenn? I do them by taking a hard and long look at what products are likely to be best suited for the visitors to my website, not by some arbitrary factor like "what's converting better".
I check to see if there are any terms that aren't clearly defined or if a product claims to be for "newbies" but actually assumes prior knowledge. That takes A LOT of work and A LOT of knowledge on online marketing.
Glenn, you really need to learn to crawl before you try to stand up and fumble all over yourself.
Oh, and if anyone's wondering why I'm calling that poster Glenn…don't worry, you'll find out soon enough.
To all those that have been paying for this scam please call your credit card companies up and tell them you are being scmmed by that company and the credit companies will start an inquiry into it for themselves. You may have to freeze your current credit card numbers and have a new card issued. I would also like to here from each of you that have been scammed. It maybe to hard to file for an individual law case but perhaps there are enough people that a class action could be field. Let me know if I can help you to help each other.
FakeReviewsSuck Names WorkAtHomeTruth! @ 10:17 am
[...] seems to be a one-trick pony hell-bent on spamming his affiliate links not only on the WorkAtHomeTruth site here, but even boldy spamming his affiliate link at Scam.com here where the moderators IMMEDIATELY [...]
Since Glenn was kind enough to list WorkAtHomeTruth on his site, I thought it only favor that I return the favor by putting up this page as a tribute to him and his site:
FakeReviewssuck Gets OWNED by WorkAtHomeTruth - LOL! in which I demonstrate how by Glenn's logic on of the top Search Engine Optimization experts on the Planet would qualify as a scam artist in Glenn's book.
I'm talking about a Search Engine Optimization Expert has been quoted and/or interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, Wired, USA Today, BusinessWeek, Business2.0, Time Magazine, The Register, MSNBC, and The Guardian.
And YES I even post a DIRECT link to this Search Engine Optimization's interview with the Wall Street Journal.
You know what sucks even more, though than REAL fake review sites? Guys who go around spamming forums and blogs to try to get traffic so they can make Adsense Income.
LOL. Owned!
Hi Alan, my wife sent for the Google product thinking she would be charged $1.00 for a weeks trial, she never received anything from them, and we have since been charged for google, fraud protection and theft protection, have had no success trying to cancel these as the phone numbers given do not answer, any suggestions, thanks Grant
Grant, that is NOT the Google Cash discussed here. There have been a number of products that have tried to leverage the original Google Cash name and that sounds like one of them.
Do you know what the charge shows up as on the bill? There are several discussions going on here at WorkAtHomeTruth about the other products and how to cancel and if you tell me what the charge shows up as I should be able to point you to the right discussion.
Paul, I just ordered the GoogleCashKit and after reading this I am very nervous. The charge for $1.95 shows up on my credit card statement as 8669718368TRANSONLINE. Since I just order this I really don't know if the kit will show up or not.
TashaE I searched for that transaction id under various variations in Google and it's not coming up.
There are so many of these products using similar sounding names it's hard to know which one you're talking about unless you have the page where you bought it from.
TashaE. I see the new product calling itself Google Cash. It is NOT the same Google Cash reviewed here which is a ONE-TIME $67.00 charge.
I'm pretty sure the one you're talking about is one mentioned at a site called TheOnlineWizard.net. If so, then according to their terms and conditions says this:
"After seventy two hours , an forty nine dollar- one time activation fee for the OnlineWizard membership and custom website will be billed to the credit card used by you to complete the signup process and business set up. If you do not wish to activate your business and be charged you must cancel your membership or change your billing method prior to the seventy two hours"
Click here to read the full terms on that site.
hi there guys, i just fell into the scam i guess u can call it, as i bought the google cash kit on a facebook ad for a $1.95.
After reading all this u guys got me very upset and nervous, can any one help me or give me some advice on what i should do!!
Jerry,
It's so hard to tell, because there are so many different products going by that name now. What was the site you bought it from?
im not sure but i got it from Facebook.com.
After reading this stuff i just wanna cancel but don't know where to go or who to call.
Jerry,
Unfortunately without that specific information it's hard to tell. Can you look up your credit card statement online and see what the charge is listed as?
I have a list of nearly 900 different sites that were promoting programs like this on FaceBook and those sites each promoted different programs, so it's really hard to tell which one it would be. You can see the list below (I took out the "."s on the websites so that people don't accidently click them and go to them):

Come on folks, please don't tell me there are people who actually fall for that "make $5000.00 a month" from Google (or anyone else for that matter). Always remember that NOTHING is free, and if it's worth having….easy. Also, if you aren't sure about something, don't give them your credit card number just to "take a look". Let go of the victim mentality.
Hey Paul I got scammed by one of the websites on that list gary gets green or something like that. How can I cancel the charge??? I didnt even want the stupid thing but it charged me anyway when I thought I had clicked out of the website. Any idea how you could help?? Thanks!
Kyle
Kyle,
There are over 500 websites like GaryGetsGreen all promoting various offers - so it's hard to tell - and GaryGetsGreen.com doesn't seem to be active anymore.
Can you see that the identifier by the charge is?
well the website has a - in between each word of the url and it seems to be active when I went back to it. It was for some google cash thing and they charged me for the kit or whatever and I didnt want to get it at all. somehow they would not let me get out of there. I found a number when I checked my credit card online transactions but thats all. Is there anything I can do to avoid the charge? I will call them tomorrow since it said office hours are closed but I do not want whatever they are promoting at gary-gets-green . com
OK. I see it now.
Looks like it sends you to the EZNetIncome site which has a 7 day trial. If you're within the 7 days you SHOULD be able to call them to cancel. Make sure you get a confirmation number as I've seen some complaints that people who canceled the monthly fees found out they were still being charged.
If you can't work it out directly with them, you'll need to talk to your credit card company or bank depending on how you paid for it.
There is a very good post that a user going by skatardrummer made here:
EzNetIncome complaints at ComplaintsBoard.
You may want to read some of the information at HelpWithMyBank.gov to see what else you need to consider in this scenario.
Thank you so much! It just happened today so if I call tomorrow morning I hope everything works out great because I do not want them charging my card for something I didn't want. I will see how everything goes, thanks again
If you remember and have time, it would be great for you to let us all know how it goes. If not, I understand.
I will let you know for sure, I just got worried when I realized it ended up charging me AFTER I tried to get out of the website thing and figured out what its all about. Ill call the numbers tomorrow and hope they are cooperative, but I might cancel the card anyway…
Thanks, Kyle.
I called 3 numbers to cancel the charge and all three told me they had successfully canceled the membership or whatever was being billed to me. I don't know if should call more of these numbers, I have a list, but the lady on the first call told me the other two should be called and I did. Hopefully everything is done like they told me it was
Well I just stupidly had them ship me the Google Biz Kit linked off of JoshMadeCash
Anyone know who I call to stop the charges before they start? I got a welcome confirmation from googletreasurechest.com so I guess I will start with them. Would like response from anyone that started this with JoshMadeCash. Thanks… if it looks too good to be true then maybe it is not true….duh.
Just another scam out there - I piss them off by calling them about 10 times a day and not saying anything. Funny to listen to them
Kyle, I work in banking. Simply call your credit or debit card issuer and indicate this is a fraudulent transaction. Trying to go through the company that charged you will more likely than not be futile (since they are scamming you). You will probably have to fill out an affidavit of fraud to submit (which your card issuer will send you). Good luck!
Thanks! I will do that. I started to think about that today that even though they say its all "canceled" I might be safe to call the bank and tell them to terminate that card or something like you said.
Hi everyone,
I was on the internet and a pop up came up with the Google Cash promotion. I tried to do some research since it is prompting the product to be reviewed by USA Today, CNBC, ABC, etc. I thought this might of been legit. Finally came across your site have read various comments about this same product and glad I decided to look further into it. Yes easy money sound just what I am looking for but always skeptical. Thanks for all your feedback.
if i only typed in my address and everything but my credit card number am i safe?
i just recently bought the google cash kit, i got suckered into it and am very concerned. one thing not mentioned about the cash kits by any other people is that they called me today and gave me like a job interview and are gonna call me back in an hour. i have been charged $1.97 so far and am very concerned i got the wrong cash kit site. is there a reason they have called me and gave me the interview or is this a part of the scam? and im not sure what site i used but i would like a list of the wrong sites to have tried, and the real site so i can see for myself which one i chose and if i got scammed.
hey i bought a google cash kit recently. finding this site im kinda uneasy about that purches the billing on my card was from CPIpay.com/n-remedies ISL. is this a scam or the real deal?
oh ya and they have phoned 2 time i thingk its a number from florida on my pay as you go cell so i did not answer it as i was almost out of minutes that number was 727-535-3708.
I stupidly signed up through neilsmoneyblog.com through a facebook link. Which phone numbers should I call to cancel? Nothing was listed on the authorization page. Thanks!!
What do you think about the partner with paul website? I've been getting e-mails about that one, too.
PartnerWithPaul is a lead-generation site for the Herbalife MLM company.
I cancelled as a subscriber to onlinewizard.com and received an e-mail stating I have been cancelled as a subscriber. I don't have a problem being charged $49 for April 2009 as the cancellation and the charge were very close to the 3 day notification. But……….I have sent (2) follow-up e-mails to:cancelthewiz@gmail.com asking for confirmation of the cancellation with no response. I really don't want to cance my credit card but will be forced to if I receive a $49 charge for May 2009.
Any help?
I don't quite understand your question. You said that you received confirmation of the cancellation, but you are seeking further confirmation?
If you already received cancellation confirmation and for some reason you got charged again, you should be able to file a dispute with your credit card company or bank explaining that you already received the cancellation confirmation while you follow up with the company.
You may want to read some of the information at HelpWithMyBank.gov as well.
I got into that same crap. I thought I would be getting something in the mail for $1.95 and never got anything in the mail. The next thing I know, they charged my card $59.90 and when I called the number, they assured me that was NOT in small print and forget about getting your money back, guess the scam does'nt work if they refund the money they steal right!!
Paul, can you tell me if this website is a scam?? http://www.jacobgotgreen.info/
Actually, Paul its the link under "google cash kit" from that website i gave you in my previous post. Can you tell me if that is a scam because I applied for it and it isnt too late for me to cancel it.
"Scam" or "Fraud" is something that has to be decided by legal definitions and the legal system, so I don't get into that.
What I can tell you is that JacobGotGreen.info is a fake blog site and the the first product it is promoting "Easy Google Profit" may be from the same company that owns "Google Treasure Chest Kit" since at the bottom of the offer page it states:
"Google Treasure Chest Kit is not affiliated with, endorsed by or in any way associated with Google. Results vary. Individuals have been remunerated.
All Content Copyright © 2005-2009, Easy Google Cash, LLC. All Rights Reserved Worldwide."
And if that's the same as "Google Treasure Chest" there's a decent chance that it's related to Google Money Tree which has generated a huge number of complaints as you can see here:
Google Money Tree Complaints.
Thanks Paul, I also have another question, did you happen to see those comments from people that had great financial success using that Google Profit Kit? If you did, are those lies?…….
One day after I made my payment for the kit, I recieved a call from them giving me a offer. They wanted to see if I can qualify for some sort of "building my own buisness" They made an account for me at Productresourcenetwork.com. Its mainly a "guide" to achieving success in making my own buisness or what have you. There is a charge to it too, but I cancelled it today and they told me I will not be charged anything at all because within this offer I have a trial.
In addition, Paul, I appreciate very much for what you are doing here. This truly shows me that there are still people out in this world that gives the unfortunates a guiding hand. If you have time, can you check and see what exactly do I have to do in order to obtain those checks that site is referring to. From my understanding, all I have to do is post links on google? Is that really ALL that I have to do? This offer is quite tempting already, but on the bottom of http://www.jacobgotgreen.info/ a 17 year old seems to be having much success, making this all the more tempting. Thanks for your time paul, I appreciate this from the bottom of my heart to the top.
Ordered the Google cash kit, had a rep call me to verify credit card info, and two weeks later no kit. How do I stop any further fees abducted from my debit card. There was no info provided by mail yet so I am left to the boogie-man.
I just realized that there is no phone number for that company or email….. This is total BS, should have done research before applying for this crap. Now how am I suppose to cancel this crap because I am not too late since I am still on the free trial.
- call your credit card company and ask specifically who charged your account, they should be able to give you the exact name of the company that charged you and a contact number.
- the credit card company will tell you to call the contact number and cancel your account, if you can not reach the contact number, simply call your credit card company and tell them.
- have your credit card number changed to prevent further charges
-after that call i got another call back.they asked me a bunch of questions and explained their whole program, but at the same time i was reading this blog site. so i proceeded to "play along" to see what they would say. i asked them how i was gonna make money. they said they were gonna send me the program for my computer, which is what i thought i paid the 1.97 for, but they said that was to process my request. he told me right after that, that i would recieve calls everyday from a "Guide" they called themselves "part of the team" supposedly some team they have set up that helps you with your business.
-they said i quallified and started to ask me how much money i had in my account. i lied just to find out what they would say. they then proceeded to try and tell me that i need to give them my credit card number over the phone i said why wouild i give you that, and the guy said that we are paying for u to get started with this business, so i said ok how much is that. they told me $1,200 to get started. i was like well this isnt what the website said. he said its all part of the agreement. i said what agreement? he said this agreement that u want to start this business and become a "part of the team", i said no thanks were gonna have to go our seperate ways now, and he hung up.
I then found the site that i signed up for this with and found the phone number in the sites, agreement page. "The small writing that says i will be charged after a certain amount of time" that i didnt see. i called and cancelled, they gave me a cancellation number that i wrote down. and hopefully i wont ever get charged again.
i hope my story helps you people that are getting calls back. just cancel right away, dont bother talking to them. i talked a total of two hours and its all bullshit.
if i put everything but my card # am i ok or will they find a way to charge it anyway?
Rick, you should be fine as far as being charged is concerned.
I'm not sure which product you ended up putting your information in for, but I know some of them will sell your information to other companies, so you may end up being contacted by other companies.
i just signed up for the google cash kit before doing my research… i have knots in my stomach i wont be able to get ahold of my bank until monday and the website i found it on didnt have a phone number, i found the page off facebook… i cant afford to lose money i have two kids and i dont make enough money as is…. what number do i call is there a 24 hour cancellation place i can call…. please help im really concerned!
the site was neilsmoneyblog
I fell for the emillionare crap because I thought it was affiliated with google. The next day, I realized (after research) that it was a scam. I called and cancelled and she guaranteed me that I would not be charged anything else. Well, yesterday I found that I was charged $47 from CPIpay.com/n-remedies. No 800 number available for bank, just that site. When I go to the site, nothing. AAAGGGHHH.
Anybody know what I can do?
Paul clearly has no life
Thanks Jay,
We have our first "YouTube-like" comment.
Hi there,
Did you guys get any money back? I just got charged also.
Such a scam!Please be aware of this friends!There still many out there!
same exact problem. i feel really stupid. guess i will have to cancel card.
I got fooled by the emillionare crap because I thought it was affiliated with google. Now I have been charged $47 from CPIpay.com/n-remedies. Can anybody tell me how to go about recovering this money and ensure that there are no further charges?
I stupidly bought into this obviously not knowing it was a scam and my bank tell me that even though i can dispute the two payments that have gone out of my account that even cancelling my current debit card and getting a new one issued will NOT stop them taking the money as apparently I have "subscribed" to this company and the only way to stop it all is to contact the company and get them to cancel the subscription at their end!!!!! I am going to have to close my bank account to stop this mess and I already have credit problems so opening a new bank account will be impossible.
Hi there Paul, I went to Facebook.com and signed up to a Dan Gets Green site (URL above), which claimed that if I sent $1.95, I would get sent some info regarding how to make money. Of course, I have returned to find out that it was a scam and have been charged $49 ($67 in Australian Dollars) …. I never received a confirmation email or anything like that. I want to get my money back … do you or anyone else know how I can do this? Is there phone number I can call? Should I cancel my credit card? I am going to contact my bank tomorrow to say that the transaction was fraudulent, but I am reticent to cancel my a/c as it is a work-related one (my own business). For your info, the transaction said that it came from CPIpay.com/n-remedies. PLEASE HELP - I am so upset that this has happened. Can anyone tell me if they were ever 1)successful in getting their money back and/or 2) successful in cancelling any future fraudulant outgoings from the same company. THIS SUCKS!
Please help

THIS IS A BIG SCAM
Hi, I just got scammed by the same company as Smriti (see previous comment) via a facebook site. the URL was http://www.dangetsgreen.com/blog/?t202id=82172&t202kw=job1ad01
I have been charged $67.38 in Australian Dollars ($47 in USD), without receiving anything ….. how do I get my money back? How can I stop this happening? I am going to contact my bank to file a fraudulent transaction report … will this help me get my money back? Do I have to cancel my card? Just so you know, the transaction was recorded as CPIpay.com/n-remedies 866-834-6878 . What are the numbers? Would they be the phone number which to call??
Please help - SO SO SO SO upset about this! Thanks, Deisha
Thanks for all this info, I look for "free money" on the internet once in a while. Now I know, there all scams.
do yourself a favor and just cancel the card… i tried to cancel and they couldnt find my account then they said they would do it once they found it and that was a crock of $h*t !
Cancel the credit card that the original charge was authorized on and have your credit card company issue a new card with a new number.
Cancel the credit card that the original charge was authorized on and have your credit card company issue a new card with a new number. That will work.
Paul, my name is Kat, and I have been searching for an work at home job recently, and I have no idea where to go to find a legit one. I live in a two bedroom house with 6 other people, and only my mother is working. Do you have any idea where to point me in the right direction so I can help my family? I know not all work at home jobs are scams. PLEASE HELP!

Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth.com
I purchased Google Treasure Kit from Easy Google Cash on 4/20/09. Today they charged my account $72.00. I called my bank and they found the phone #, 866-951-1406, I called them and they had my information in their system and they said they would be crediting my account back the $72.00 because I called within 30 days of purchase. They gave me a refund confirmation #. According to the customer service rep they will always refund your money if you call within 30 days of purchase. Wish me Luck!
i came here to get help in terms of possibly starting my own "work at home" business, and instead of any solid advice instead all i am finding is link after link that ultimately leads to a Clickbank Hoplink, promoting a product you recieve commission for if someone purchases it.
thanks for nothing.
LOL.
So 2000+ pages of free information on this site, including free training, an entirely free forum here - http://www.workathometruth.com/forum/ - isn't enough free help for you?
Plus, I've spent an ungodly amount of my own time helping people file complaints and recover money WITHOUT charging them such as in discussions like this:
Google Money Tree complaints…
Good luck, man. You're gonna need it.
Oh and just because someone is an affiliate for a product does NOT mean they aren't recommending the product based on REAL information and experience. You can see what I mean in my disclosure policy which I have all over the site:
Disclosure Policy.
You know. I think I'm going to start taking a new approach like most of the people with the amount of experience I have and start charging a monthly fee for my information instead of helping people for free.
It's getting too annoying.
What do you guys think? Good idea?
Paul,
I keep telling you you're giving all this information away for free and you shouldn't be. Most marketers would be charging $47+ for just small snippets of what you're putting out here. Not to mention 90% of the people charging for it wouldn't even stack up to a fraction of the knowledge you have.
I really think you should consider starting to charge for people to be members here as it would weed out whiners and complainers that obviously can't see the amazing value your site offers.
Michael,
You know I'm torn about that - especially given the state of the economy. That's why when you were charging $197 for your Niche Blitzkrieg program I was happy that you were able to work with me on that to let people get it for so much less.
But maybe we've been approaching this all wrong. I remember talking to a very well known online marketer who said that a big advantage of having higher priced products is that it gets rid of all the time-wasters which I'm really starting to understand.
I quit my programming job 5 years ago to do this full-time and now many of the people who laughed at me are coming to me for help because they've all been laid off. But I swear I literally HAND them everything they need and they STILL don't do anything. It's frustrating.
I don't mind keeping your Niche Blitzkrieg product at $47 on my top 10 list and there's a big part of me that has a hard time with charging people a lot of money, but as you mentioned people bought it at $197.00 and you barely even were trying to sell it at the time.
I just don't know what the right thing is to do here. I can't just keep pumping out free information and helping people for free if this is the kind of feedback I get. I mean what's the point?
Paul,
Right. I feel you there. As you're know I earn an incredible income online but the funny thing is when I sit down with friends they all want to know how I do it… what's my method… why I don't panic during bad economical times etc. I literally sit them down and teach them.
You know the funny thing? Only one guy out of the dozens I've shown of my buddies is even trying to do anything. I could easily one on one get them to 6 figures in a year as long as they dedicate themselves to my teachings. Yet, just one of my close friends is doing anything with it.
Now keep in mind I earn my fulltime living this way and have the knowledge and marketing power at my fingertips. I can show them in seconds ways to make money. But, they just won't use the info.
Could you imagine the info you could get from Richard Branson by just having a cup of tea with him? Not that I am comparing myself to Branson LOL Long way to go there.
Maybe it's a price point problem? Maybe some people see damn good Free information as useless since they didn't have to spend a paycheck on it??
You're right about Niche Blitzkrieg being $197 and I am cool with putting it back up. I know we've had a lot of members come through your special price of $47 and you know what they are awesome! They are extremely grateful because the see the value and know other programs out there are 10-20 more with far less results. They are using the forums, communicating and really digging the program.
The program has sold at $197 and I also know it's worth more than that as I've seen programs with far less for $1997 plus. I am cool with leaving it with you at $47 but that's limited to your site only. If situations arise where the majority don't appreciate the low price we can always boost it back up. Just my 2 cents.
Michael,
I've had a lot of people give me that whole "people don't appreciate something unless they pay for it" spiel, but so far I've resisted it…but as you know I'm always willing to admit when I'm wrong about something. At least most of the time I am. LOL.
Maybe you're right. Maybe I've really made a big mistake there, which would suck, because I've put so much time and energy into building this site and working out special deals for people.
Luckily I have so many other systems going that it's not a big deal, but if I'm going to actually try to help people maybe I really am going about this all wrong.
I'll think about it and post my thoughts here later or later in the week. It's interesting to think about this after being online fulltime for nearly 5 years now.
I mean, how many experts in any other field are really giving away things for free? I know some are, but most are charging decent fees.
I've been following this, and I have to say, it only makes sense that if someone is going to give value to you, you should give value to THEM!
I never cease to be amazed by how many people think nothing of demanding that someone like Paul do everything for free… but I bet if I went to them and said, "Hey, I'd like you to do your job, for me, for FREE," they'd tell me to get lost! But oh, Paul, YOU shouldn't make any money.
I also wonder, how much stuff do these whiners give away? DO they give away nearly as much value as Paul does? To strangers? On a continuous basis? The answer is NO, they don't. But they have the nerve to be angry at a guy like Paul — who, from what I can see here, is a genuinely good guy who could make a LOT more money scamming people than he does reporting on those scams — because he doesn't give ENOUGH?! Give me a break!
Ok, rant over. Ignore the freebie-whiners, Paul, and keep up the good work.
I too ignored my instinct about this google thing being too-good-to-be-true. It being assoicated with google convinced me to order the $1.97 kit on April 24th. I never received anything in the mail, but I did receive two calls trying to get me to sign up for some resale business for $39 per month. I called the number that showed up on my credit card bill when the $1.97 was charged and they said they canceled my "membership" which would have been a $72 charge in another week.
In my opinion, these ads are at best misleading. Are there any safe ways to make a little money each month on the internet?
No. My current recommendation for everyone is to go find a real job.
It's not what I'm doing and not what I've done for the past 5 years…and I won't ever work a "real job" again, but I think for most people I talk to it's really their only option.
Recently online there have been a number of people promising that by paying a $1.95 USD shipping fee for their free kit will make you large sums of money with google within the first 72 hours and sometimes even 48 hours. The fact is that making large sums of money with google within 72 hours is almost impossible due to the face when you do apply with google the processing time google requires is at least two days. When google does approve the application you then need to start developing a landing page that is relevant and a popular global search. These earn with google kits are simply guides on how to go through the entire process and they attempt to fool you with there elaborate but clear Terms and Agreements.

I purchased also this google money system for $1.95 and in 7 or 10 days I was charge for $49.95 and I am sure that this will be monthly charge. I will call my credit card company with this Scam programs and sued maybe. What do you think?
Warmly,
Julius
Hey guys you shoud read my article and comment on my blog on how they totally srew you over. These guys are just deperate and are taking peoples money for a totally free service!
Well I fell for the, Google Biz Kit today I followed the link for a site called joshmadecash.com and after I paid the .99 cents with my debit card(it started out 1.99 but as I was leaving the website it knocked down the price to .99 cents) I read the terms and conditions,Then I got a email from Blazinkeywords with a member ID and password, I remember reading that just by signing into their website ends your free trial and then begins your 79Who-ever falls for this youll need to call two numbers and send a email and not just cancel your debit card. My bank told me with out canceling the services your signing up for a subscription and they will still be able to pull money out based on those terms. Im sure not all banks are the same but for your sake please make sure before you hang up the phone and think its a done deal. So 1st youll need to send back a cancelation email to support@blazingkeywords.com then call Blazinkeywords @ 888-248-9285 then youll want to call 88-247-2188 and cancel your subscription to "Grant Spring" if you dont thats another 24.87 youll get taken from ya,as I said above subscriptions can be legally taken out of your account with old debitcard info that was provided to a company at the time that debit card was use. I hope that both the managers I talked to about this gave me bad information and we as consumers are more protected against this type of
Thank you all for the information. I am in Virginia Beach. I came across Jennifer Hunters jennifersmoneyblog.com. Jennifer said she was form the Virginia Beach area. Who says Virginia Beach area? If you are in Virginia Beach you say so. If not where are you Norfolk? You might say Hampton Roads area but, you would not call Norfolk the Virginia Beach area. I smelled a rat. I wondered, who is Jennifer Hunter and what kind of scam is running. Captain Warner Athey, Virginia Beach, Va.
Ment to say. Who is Jennifer Hunter and what kind of scam is she renning? Warner Athey
hey i think i got suckered into the google kit i went ot order and after i did that it said i was not elegiable did i really get suckered and about to pay a memebership feee pleasssse help ?
You can add http://sarahsmoneyblog.net/v/?t202kw=pulse360MSNBCGeneral to the scam file. I thought about doing it but decided to check the phone book and there were no Kingstons in my area. I then Googled the Google Cash Kit and found it was a scam.
Thanks for all you do Paul.
I also got scammed. My credit card company phoned me to ask if the $72.00 was legitimate. Thank God they called me. I told them no once I had read this blog. They are going to change my credit card number so in the future no one can charge me for this.
Thanks it did help. I just fell into it and I will make these calls to cancel.
I wonder why google and facebook accept to those companies scam people. Google can do something can stop their websites or can at least warn people from using these products under their name.
And also , for the people who was charged more than 1.00 $ why you did not call your credit card company and freez your card .. guys you must do something.
God your Mercy
I just read a posting about this Google Cash kit that you pay $1.99 for and another $1.95 for something else and you can make over $500 a week from home. I'm sure if people could make that much from home, the kit would cost quite a bit more than $4. This is where using your noodle comes in handy. Think about it. These scammers are using the Google name to prey on financially strapped individuals. In this day of mass unemployment, innocent people are trying to make ends meet and take care of their families. You get unethical people setting up links that say you'll be charged one amount and end up charging $72. 100 people and they've made quite a profit. Remember the old saying: "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
Please add http://jonlewisblog.com to the scammers list.

Cancel your card so that no more money can be processed through them and order a new one. Good Luck getting a refund though.
I think I'll bring the pet rock back. At least we'll all have something to show for our money…LOL.
This board sounds like it may offer some legitimate help. I would appreciate a reply telling me IF there are ANY actually LEGITIMATE work at home jobs available. I am a mature adult that has returned to school to earn a degree and I urgently need income. I have looked at websites that claim to be "fraud free" "legitimate" work at home and they are NOT. Do you know of some that ARE legitimate and that ARE hiring? I will check back…

I, too, fell for the google cash scam for the initial $1.95. I found the following on my credit card statement and got a refund for two charges of $47.00
CPIpay.com/n-remedies 866-834-6878
The 866 number is a toll-free telephone number for the processing center. I do not know how to find out their direct line that the toll-free number is tied to for those outside of the US. Fortunately when I signed up I used my gmail account for email and not my personal email. I am now getting upwards of 250 spam emails a day now since I tried this google cash scam. The ads are extremely deceptive and misleading.
Hi Ronny…i did see a couple of blogs where the people were making more money than they did on their regular jobs….
one of thoseis….
http://www.joeymadecash.com/?s=news
hmmm…now wondering why that doent come up in blue, as a link you can click on

And…lol…good thing i didnt….after reading all these comments
Bev
I got scam….I call my credit card company and cancelled my card right away….Listen to your innervoice people it a scam…then it is a scam…
Man oh man…I am so glad i did a little investigating before signing up for this. I had a feeling about it being a hoax, and it turns out it was. I never filled out any online form giving them any info. So i shouldn't have to worry about them charging my card, hacking my PC or anything, right?
Jason- one of the guys that did the ad got a gift certificate from red robin ( cheeseburgers) to do the ad. I actually know the guy from high school. Thats right.. he wasnt raised in the ghetto - he was born in the suburbs hahahaha true story!!!
it was a total scam I know many people who did the same thing and lost hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Also like I said before I know the guy jason who claims to have ferraris and lambos.. Its all BS.. they werent his cars, as a matter of fact the guy got paid in a red robin gift certificate to do the ad!!! HAHAHA true story a red robin gift certificate!
CArl u are full of BS! THe truth is that this whole thing was masterminded by a man known as Giergie Dubuyahbusch. He is now awaiting trial for scamming and child pornography. His accomplice who was arrested last morning was a catholic priest!!! by the name of st. john paul chiehynie… what a damn shame…
Cancel your credit card and make sure the bank takes off the tracer that is attached to your credit card.
I tried calling these places and there are so many numbers and sites it just goes in circles.
I dont know what to do with the CD they sent me i want to send it back but i dont no where to send it to! so f them.
I just wanted to know if you guys knew about a google product that actually works to make money with them that is not a scam if you guys have any web sites that would lead me to the right direction I would appreciated it a lot thanks.
Now there is a scam that points to Hot Business Market Pro, they have even run an ad that looks to have been written by a Miami Newspaper.
The disclaimer at the bottom reads: By submitting this form I am ordering the Hot Business Market Pro trial membership. After the seven day trial I will be charged $81.32 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. Cancel any time by calling 1-800-235-1364.
LMAO @ Dubuyabusch & chiehynie- Good one!!
I got sucked into this thing because there was an article online about a lady here in St. Louis where I live making all this money. Her article was in a listing called USAJOBJOURNEL.com. It's listed first under jobs in the St. Louis area. It speaks of google, but after paying $1.97 google never appeared again and they kept speaking of some free trial that was never mentioned. I cancelled immediately. Today I called to make sure they were'nt going to charge my credit card and made clear they were not authorized to charge my card. Their call center was in the PHILLIPINES of all places. Glad I cancelled when I did.
Beachtree,
That "article" is detecting your location through a script and plugging it into the "story".
I thought about rying it , put all my info in. then it says it will be there in 2-3 weeks, in small print further down it says your credit card will be billed in 7 days ,
they never asked for my home address so how are they going to ship it to me?
I was scamed to and like everyne else I just wanted to look at the site. Now they charged me 81.00. when I called the man had the nerve to tell me I was beind rude. That was my last bit of food money for me and my baby. There is no hope now.
I just look at the site once, since then Davemakecash.com keeps popping up on my screen non-stop and also they keep charging on my bank account. I phoned them and I did not purchase anything from them and they said I looked at the site and that is why they charged it every month. I keep refusing them to pay and also contacted my credit card company to investigate this and I will keep refusing paying them.
Naomi , how they know your credit card number ? if you didnot put it there no way they will charge you , can you explain that ? thanks
i baught the google cash kit and never received it i want my kit right now or i will report this scam
Hello everyone. I came across a site titled Los-angeles-Daily.com that was promoting this Google Cash system. I was interested because my daughter just lost her job and I thought this could be a good hold-over for her while she was job hunting. However, the first thing I noticed was that the link to the information was not related to the advertised link on the site. Secondly, there were only three 'positive' comments posted but the site no longer allowed for posting due to 'spam' issues. The link states that it is the Los Angeles Daily but the website refers to it as the Los Angeles Journal Review. I googled the actual Los Angeles Daily website and the website looks nothing like the fake website and when i did a search for the finance section that shows in the fake LA daily news website it appears that the real LA Daily news does not have an actual finance section.
Suspecting that the scammers may have already 'tainted' the goods, I did an actual google search and came across this site. Thanks Paul. Now, i think i'm now going to cancel my credit cards after reading the stories here.
whew! glad I didn't do more than click the link and see that the "Google" looked a little funny. I opened a new tab & did a real Google search on the Google cash name & found this site. Whaddaya know, the link the ad provided showed up in the very long list Paul posted. (amazing how many people are married to audrey)
thanks!
Tim,
Looks like the fake news sites are taking off. Here's a list of them (I made them non-clickable for obvious reasons):

I ordered a kit for .99 and never received anything.bs is what google profit is!!

<<SEE ALSO MY -DETAILED COMMENTS & ANALYSIS UNDER RELATED SCAM "My Profit Investment And A-1 Member Complaints - UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENT" ON the Complaint board site {www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/my-profit-investment-and-a-1-member}
this topic has infinitely more contributors -unfortunately-
Additionally, a few new thoughts just occurred to me, especially for those that must go thru the process of canceling a credit card in order to get the deductions to cease & desist.
{I was lucky enough to catch myself before letting their lure & my curiosity get the better of me —‘it's ONLY a $1.95 to find out more !’ -just like they WANT you to think.
I only now fear an onslaught of junk email from them or the related "third parties", before I block email from the one source I know of so far. Because, regretfully, I did go thru the first step & gave name & email info, before doing further research. Lesson successfully re- learned !! }
But (1) for any of you who might have your affected credit or debit/credit cards through Bank of America, My personal experience in similar situations with them has been they were MOST helpful in getting resolution & preventing additional charges, so contacting your ,bank if it was a bank issued credit or credit/debit card used for the purchase, ASAP might be beneficial. {My recollection is that BofA has in their policies (which is in line w/the Consumer protection laws)a rule to address something like this but there is a limit on the # of days past the occurrence for reporting it for their intervention-but check with their 24 hour HELP # for the applicable current specifics.}
and (2) this is another good reason to possibly consider a method that I read about some time ago- that provides u more protection,
Especially useful if you make purchases from a little known or unknown internet sources with any regularity & PROVIDES more protection (by limiting liability) against any possible hacking or phishing activity or other nefarious activity gaining access to &/or being able to complete repeated debits to your account, even when making on line purchases to known legit businesses.
(It’s also good for teens/college students not living at home, to give them some of the benefits of the credit cards but with a CERTAIN limited liability)
–and that is to purchase one of the "prepaid" VISA cards ( Radio Shack offered them last I knew & I'm sure there are many other sources) You can "re-load" the $$ available on the card via a web site or ph. # with your regular credit card if u like -or revisit your local place of purchase store & provide cash or charge to be re-applied to “re-load “ it.
But u purchase the PREPAID VISA card (it's more like a gift card type of arrangement- but it bears the VISA availability) with say a $100 or $200 max at any one time.
& if there's a problem…. just discontinue that card.
U can repeat the strategy w/ another card. I'm not sure but yea, they might charge $10-20 to start the card & set up & maintain the acct. ( & I don't know if they offer any repeat business discounts or anything about their terms-companies offering this may differ. I just know the basics & that they exist.)
But dealing with this sort of nightmare –of the re-occurring deduction– will use up way more than $10-$20 of your time before corrections are successfully completed, & will save u substantially more than that in stress & possibly save u even more in un-refundable liability -from onset to resolution; and certainly the fees are less than NSF or OVER limit fees if these fraudulent auto deductions cause an unexpected shortage in your account or the like.
But by using this PREPAID VISA–if a purchase turns out to be not all u thought would or there are any other nasty clauses in fine print that u missed- the MOST they can get off that card # is the $100- 200 (or less- depending on how YOU set it up, and what balance you leave on the card-YOU MAINTAIN MORE CONTROL)
and you don't have to endure the dreaded repeated monthly deductions, ad infinitum. And, YOU aren't backed into the corner of canceling your main card that you likely have set up with other legit/ long-standing auto deductions, and or bill pay features, requiring your additional time & effort in making sure those aren't adversely affected.
And, it allows you the ability to deal with getting the refund for the misrepresented deductions separately, with a little less pressure and headaches.
(3) make sure that you also provide whatever info/notice is possible to the proper government agency(s). They can’t address or fix problems/ scenarios that they don’t know about, and (one would logically think) they need some means of official tabulation, &/or tracking the # of affected people, and the environment in which it occurred. THE data has to start somewhere. {This does NOT mean the Better Business Bureau. I don’t believe they are structured to offer any help in this sort of situation.}But, one would think that either/or additionally the Federal Consumer Protection Agency has some process to at least gather the data, (and maybe more?) &/or your local district attorney’s office –and certainly the district attorney’s office in Las Vegas (or wherever the perpetrating company is based)– might benefit from the information and may even be able to provide some assistance.
I don’t know if any of these ideas may help anyone or not, but I hope better luck and fast resolutions, and recovery are found for all those who have fallen prey to these disgusting tactics.
{It’s seems likely it could all be the same core persons perpetrating similar proposals under a multitude of company names, with small variances in $$ charged etc. But, it will probably take someone with more personnel, legal latitude & permissions and resources to be able to compile a true & total picture, and initiate whatever action is possible against them. }
Good luck & God's speed all

Looks to me like you may have been talking to a computer program. Can't be sure but it (Jenny) seemed to only respond to certain keywords you typed.

Also, I noticed that on many of these scam blog sites, there are no dates on the comment entries, only times, although this is changing on some site. I actually asked on one blog (when the comments were actually open) for more information. I went back several days later and my entry was deleted. Many of the blog comments are 'closed' to due tp 'spam' or for some other reason. Beware, folks!
Thanks Belle,
The places people would want to file complaints with are:
Filing a complaint with the BBB is helpful from the standpoint that:

To paul:
I know this is a really silly question, but i was reading through the last page of people asking you questions or giving complaints and you seem to be a very patient, helpful, and kind person. I was filling out the application for the google kit for $1.97 but when it asked for my credit card number i hesitated. I had second thoughts, i mean getting $500.00 a month is a big life saver right now, but its not worth the risk of becoming in debt with a scam. So i began a little research and after an hours time, i decided to sumbit this simple question; Is the work at home for google real? I would greatly appriciate all your help. Thank you.
Hi Jazmin,
While it's certainly possible to make that much and more from using Google and other search engines, it is NOT as easy as the onslaught of "kits" would have you believe.
Most of these "kits" are just trying to get your credit card information so that they can charge you monthly. I'm not saying ALL of them are doing that, but the vast majority are and many of them make it hard for you to cancel. In fact many people have had to resort to canceling their credit cards to stop the charges.
There's an article about the truth about making money using Google here:
Make Money Posting Links on Google Scam.
Paul,
Another question. This one involves your personal opinion. Do you think i should do this? I mean is sounds great, i have alot of free time and it would be fantastic to make money.But i cant make a final decission, should i do it?
Jazmin,
I would stay away from the "trial kits". I've seen quite a few people make money for the first time online with Niche Blitzkrieg, but there's also decent free training available at some of the sites I mention in the Recommended Home Business sites section.
As long as you're realistic and realize that there will be a learning curve learning (I don't know how fast you learn, so I can't give you an exact time on that, but for most people I would think 30-60 days to master the basics) then learning how to generate online income can be a valuable long-term skill to develop.
Paul,
Ok, i will stay away from the trial kits, i was planning on it while i was reading about them a little while ago and i will check out those two sites you recomended. This may be my last question, (im a little embarassed to ask it..) but what exactly is the 'work' for this? I understand your work online, but what exactly are you doing? (you as in me, or the workers.)
Jazmin,
You should consider this as a business, although many of the deceptive sites will try to make it look like a "job". It's not a job.
You make money from products you sell (most people start as affiliates selling OTHER peoples' products) or through advertising placed on your site (there are many advertising systems that will autoplace advertising on your site, so it's not like you have to go out and secure advertisers).
You'll need to learn how to research a market, determine how competitive it is and whether or not you can beat the competition in the market. I.e. just like a regular business.
The one advantage of doing this online is that it's easier to tap into an enormous amount of niche markets where people are looking for products or services, but there are few places for them to find those product and services (the definition of a niche market is a "market that's currently underserved").
Because you're asking this question, I would suggest you start with one of the free courses first to understand more about what's involved - the Affiliates' Master Course is a good starting point, but I wouldn't recommend starting with the software it recommends as it's fairly pricey (it's great sofwtare, but pretty expensive for most people).
Also, consider joining us in the forum at WorkAtHomeTruth.com/forum as there are quite a few experienced business people with various backgrounds who are quite generous with their knowledge.
Paul,
Alrighty then, thank you i will look into all of that. This seems more the the type of bussiness my sister is into, she has this huge book on how to build a website and well i will let her know about this.I think she will really benefit from it, and if not well it was a try. I want to thank you for all your help, time and patients. That was very generous of you, i greatly appreciate everything.
You're welcome, Jazmin (yes, I'm still awake, LOL)
Well come on people! Dont you know to READ everything before filling out your personal credit card info? I mean come on! its not the scammers fault really…its the fault of the person getting scammed!!
Call your credit card company and tell them you are being scammed. The will stop paying..
The first thing i did when finding some of these so called money makers was check out there sites. I found them very pushy which told me they were bs. I filled out the fake for to continue on they try shoving you to give them your CC #. i hit the back arrow and a pop up came up saying are you sure i closed it and hit back again. I see another pop up this one says order your easy google cash know for only $1.51 when it was suppose to be $2.99 i laughed hard when i saw that. I accepted it and it changed the supposed price i closed out.
I decided to see if LimeWire had any of these google making money files, but to no success just prooving how fake these stuff is. I also see it says it cost 2.99 to ship it to you electricaly…..wtfing kind of bs is that. Its all just bs and its quite easy to tell
Now we have our first white-elitest comment. Will I be attacked by long paragraphs that you invest a lot of your free time :)?
"Thanks Jay,
We have our first "YouTube-like" comment. :-)"
And I thought comments are just saying your two-cent. Now on the internet(estabalished by elitist), comments must mean that they are written argument, like university-level paper. And they don't expect "13 year old" kids to come across this page via internet from a computer!
"youtube comment" isn't a definition. Because this ""youtube comment"" had already existed in the past, before Youtube was estabalished. And you can't expect the world to accept your meaning, because they still don't know what it means(until many videos on that site explains the newly word). "myspace comment", "cnn comment", "ebaum comment", it's as if you are trying to make the world see through your perspective.
Internet noobs, and Internet elitist; Both of these sides are pathetic.
ps i wont be baq so all insult are ignore LOLOOLOLL!!!!
…Well, Enjoy the spam
In fact I thought your comments were pretty interesting.
Thank you Paul…this site is a Godsend. Im happy I decided to investigate first, even though I kept thinking "GOOGLE" thats a name to trust.
Additionally, I made note of your websites and recommendations. I have lots of research to do now.
Thanks again!
Thanks, Jasmin and you're welcome. The Affiliate Masters Course that I mention earlier can be a good one for people to start with for free to get an overview of what's involved in running a real online business. I think they're software is too expensive for what most people need starting out, but the free information is quite useful.
I was suckered into the scam I should of read the fine print I guess but when I paid the $1.95 nothing came in the mail. No information at all and then they deduct $68 from account I called them and they were so rude they did not want to help me out at all I told them I was going to report them and they said go ahead and try then I called them again and they hung up on me. Only one week passed by should they re emburse me or what? I called the bank and placed a fradulent transaction.
New Scam Discovered!!!!

This is for TEETH WHITENING! But it has all the earmarks of the google cash scam except it is for teeth whitening.
Low initial shipping and when you read the terms and conditions - there are several monthly subscription fees that you'll end up getting dinged with.
Thanks, Guy
I'd seen the fake blogs for teeth whitening, colon cleansers, weight loss, etc. some time ago, but now it looks like they're picking up on the fake news sites like the ones I wrote about a while back here:
Are fake news sites the next gold rush?
You're welcome, Paul. There's something I noticed on possibly all these scam sites: the registered trademark use of some large corporations. So as a test, I'm sending emails to the legal department of ABC, CBS, CNN, etc., to see what there response is. These scam sites are profiting from the use of these trademarks. You'd think ABC, etc., would want their cut, too, huh? Or maybe they'd simply have the sites cut. We can only hope.
I'll be interested in hearing their response if they give you one. So if you have time, I'd love for you to come back here and give everyone an update.
I've been looking for work at home jobs, but it seems as though ALL of them are scams…is there any that you know of that you have personally tried that do work???
It's funny how the typical person who signs up for this is in need of money and all they do is end up getting scammed. Thus, there finances actual decline when the intended concept was for the persons finances to incline. What a rip.
Don't you all get tired of debating this? Look, people….if you don't want to get scammed, read the fine print before clicking the jolly, candy-like button to purchase. If you just read what is written, you're less likely to be taken for a ride. As far as all of this back and forth mess, everyone has something do gain, don't they??? Cut out the middle man if you feel you've been scammed and contact your bank or credit card provider immediately upon realizing something's not right. THEY will handle these matters promptly in order to protect you and your money.
"Jolly, Candy-Like Button". That's a pretty good description, actually.
But these companies really do go a long way to hide the terms much of the time and many of these people are new to doing anything online.
I was interested in purchasing the google cash kit but then thought to read more into it…and thank god for that cos im a student and single mother of one and as i cant work i was desperate to work for home on the days i have of from uni… but thanks alot paul.
Im not gonna trust these get money quick scams YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO EARN SOMETHING WORTH GETTING
You're welcome A-hoodie
That's the thing about "easy money". You still have to do A LOT of up front work in order to be able to leverage your assets to take advantage of opportunities at which point making money will be MUCH easier for you than for the person who hasn't done all that up front work.
One of my favorite sayings is:
"Preparation + Opportunity = Luck"
