EarnCashFastWithGoogle Complaints
I've been tracking down numerous seemingly fake websites that are promoting various products that are generating a huge number of complaints.
One of the products many of those sites are promoting is a product called EarnFastCashWithGoogle. So let's take a look at why EarnCashFastWithGoogle is generating so many complaints.
3/28/2009 update: This is NOT an endorsement or NON-endorsement of EarnCashFastWithGoogle, but I still cannot understand how people can miss the information disclosing monthly charges on their sites disclosing the terms of their offer. When I checked it was on ALL of the following sites that are used to promote this offer:
- GoogleProfitTree – The version I looked at showed the monthly charges in a big blue box at the bottom of the page BEFORE the first step of the order form.
- MakeCashFastWithGoogle – The version I looked at had "Risk-Free Trial Information" in bolded green letters DIRECTLY to the left of where you enter your credit card information. The monthly charges were spelled out there.
3/3/2009 Update: It is still baffling to me how people are missing the disclosures on the EarnCashFastWithGoogle site. This is NOT an endorsement of the product, but from what I've seen EarnCashFastWithGoogle's method of disclosure has to be one of the most consumer-friendly one that I've seen. I have to agree with what they've now detailed in their advertising policy link which you can read here.
However, I don't like the fact that you have to take ALL 3 services instead of being able to select – buffet-style.
I did just notice a separate issue: The second page of the EarnCashFastWithGoogle site is displaying the HackerSafe logo on the order page. The two issues with displaying the HackerSafe logo are:
- HackerSafe was bought out by McAfee and ultimately changed the HackerSafe logo to McAfee Secure. Click here to read about the HackerSafe change to McAfee Secure, which be reading the comments looks like was done AUTOMATICALLY.
- A security seal like HackerSafe (now McAfee Secure) is supposed to be clickable so that you can verify the last time the site was scanned on a trusted 3rd-party site.
FIRST – I want to be clear that we have NEVER recommended the EarnCashFastWithGoogle product and based on what I've seen based on the sales page alone it would NEVER a chance of getting anywhere near our Top 10 Recommended Home Businesses list.
I just saw a lot of complaints about their "Earn Google Cash" type product and wondered what they were about.
2/4/2009 Update: While the sales page certainly has some strange things about it that I discuss below, one thing I can't understand is how people don't know they'll be charged monthy after the trial period. On the page I looked at there was a gigantic blue box describing the terms of the offer – DIRECTLY above where you start entering your information. Is there a different sales page that I don't know about?
Strange wording and bad grammar is available for "all who qualify"!
O.K. On page 1 I see that I "may qualify" for one of their free kits. I'd like to know who DOESN'T qualify for one of EarnCashFastWithGoogle's free kits.
Also, the following sentence doesn't even make sense in the context of the page:
"Google has earned people millions of dollars, time for you to get your share! See if you qualify for our free kit and start today!"
I can't imagine what "Google earning people millions of dollars" has to do with EarnCashFastWithGoogle. While PEOPLE might be able to earn money by learning to use Google Adwords through a legitimate system like Matt Levenhagen's CampaignBlast's Training…The company GOOGLE isn't earning ANYONE millions of dollars except maybe some of their employees and shareholders. 
To "Qualify" for My "Free Kit" I just have to "Order Now". Huh?
Now, I know this is typically "marketing-speak" but it just seems alarmingly bizarre in the context of the previous claim that "I may qualify for one of their free kits". So in order to qualify for my "Free Kit" I guess I just have to PAY.
You might also qualify if you habitually use poor grammar!
On the first page of the EarnCashFastWithGoogle.com offer I noticed this disclaimer by a testimonial from Kelly T. (Maybe he's related to "Mr. T"?):
"*Results not typical.
Individuals has been remunerated."
Well, at least they did put a dislcaimer, even if it's grammatically incorrect.
"Important Notice" from EarnCashFastWithGoogle Limiting the Number of "Hand-Held" Experiences Available! Whaaat?
According to the "Giant Red Box":
"Unfortunately, we cannot offer this to everyone. I am really sorry about this, but the offer is extremely limited!"
Hmm. I wonder if it's only limited to people who ORDER? 
I guess those are the people who get the "excellent hand-held experience" mentioned in the "Giant Red Box":
"The Earn Google Cash system ensures that you will have an excellent hand-held experience"
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I've actually been spending a significant amount of time trying to figure out what a "hand-held experience" could possibly be. Also, I hope I don't drop it.
A REAL Two-for-One Deal: TWO baffling sentences on ONE page!
OK. On the SAME page I see these two sentences:
Sentence 1: "See, even though we are releasing this for FREE initially, we are only giving away an undisclosed number of 14-day trial packages." I wonder if the "undisclosed number is related to Graham's Number?
Sentence 2: "Why Am I Giving Away This Earn Google Cash System For Free?"
Now Sentence 1 makes it seem like EarnCashFastWithGoogle will EITHER be free OR it will be a "14-day trial package". And then Sentence 2 makes it seem like CURRENTLY the EarnCashFastWithGoogle system is free.
Let's see if the EarnCashFastWithGoogle system is really free (don't hold your breath)…
Amazingly, EarnCashFastWithGoogle actually puts the offer details right on the front page in a big blue box, although the print is pretty small. Even though I'm not at all impressed by their bizarre sales page, EarnCashFastwithGoogle's disclosure of the trial conditions on the main page is WAY better than what most similar products do (other similar productst tend to link to the Terms & Conditions where you have to hunt down information about the additional fees).
So let's see what the additional charges are:
- $1.00 refundable processing fee
- After your 7-day FREE trial period it’s $29.95 per month (automatically charged monthly at the end of the trial period).
- A FREE fourteen-day trial and twenty one-day trial to the Fraud Protection Resource Center and Identity Theft Protection for just $4.95 and $9.95 a month thereafter (shows as "FraudProtection" and "IdentitySecurity") should you choose not to cancel.
OK. So even though they initially presented a lot of baffling information at the beginning regarding whether their system was free or a 14-day trial, now they're at least putting the offer details directly on the main page…although NOW it's a 7-day FREE trial (I'm not sure what happened to the EarnCashFastWithGoogle free 14-day trial mentioned previously). Also, what if I already have fraud protection and don't want theirs?
Although based on this page alone there's ZERO CHANCE I would ever recommend this "Earn Cash Fast with Google" product to anyone, except maybe one of my competitors.
For example the product I recommend on the site for learning to make money with Google Adwords is Matt Levenhagen's Campaign Blasts Method and here's the remarkable thing about Matt's sales page: it actually makes sense ALL the way through – unlike EarnCashFastWithGoogle.com's sales page which seems to be a mix of nonsensical phrasing, contradictory statements, followed FINALLY by the REAL terms of the offer (at least they did get THAT part right).
OK. If for some strange reason I did actually get this product, how would I cancel or make a refund?
- For EarnCashFastWithGoogle it says: "you can chat with live operator by calling (866)341-7163 within the first 7 days to cancel, and you will not be charged."
- During the PAID membership of EarnCashFastWithGoogle it says: "If for any reason you are dissatisfied, chat with a live operator, and you'll no longer be charged." OK.
- OK. For the "Fraud Protection Resource Center" it says: "You have also unlocked a FREE fourteen-day trial and twenty one-day trial to the Fraud Protection Resource Center and Identity Theft Protection for just $4.95 and $9.95 a month thereafter (shows as "FraudProtection" and "IdentitySecurity") should you choose not to cancel. Prior charges for bonus are non-refundable but subscription can be cancelled and future charges stopped at any time by calling toll-free 1-800-712-7226 and 1-866-342-2994."
Fine, but I still want to know how EASY it is to REALLY get the services canceled.
Now I'm going to have to rely on feedback from other people on that because I have ZERO INTEREST in even reviewing this EarnCashFastWithGoogle offer based on what I've seen so far.
So if anyone wants to let other people know their experiences with canceling the EarnCashFastWithGoogle offer, let them know here.
Update: 2/1/2009: So far it seems that customer service handling EarnCashFastWithGoogle has been very helpful and prompt.
Also, if you initially signed up through a page other than the "EarnCashFastWithGoogle.com" page, I'd be interested in knowing what that page was.
Form on First page:
First Name :
Current Marital Status :
Annual Household Income :
Time At Current Residence :
Employment Status :
Year Born:
Note: I'll be finishing the rest of this page later, but I'm going to go ahead and publish it to see what kind of experience people have had canceling and/or refunding EarnCashFastWithGoogle and how hard or easy it is to cancel and/or refund.
Note: Now there are some sites that seem to call this The Google Easy Cash System.

What an outstanding job analyzing this website. The unfortunate thing is that there are so many of these out there. I appreciate the amount of time you put into critiquing and loved your sense of humor.
3:30 pm
Many of these sites are using a template with a copyrighted photo as well (the couple in front of the Eiffel Tower.) Their hosting providers have been served DMCA notices and are forced to remove the photo. I got burned on this and threatened with a lawsuit.
4:58 pm
John,
I don't understand. Are you saying that the affiliate network provided you with the template?
Or are you saying that you were running a scammy site with stolen pictures and somehow feel that you got "burned"?
3:57 am
How come the Company "Google" is not doing anything to kick their butt?
They are using their logo on their product and also they are trying to cheat. What the hell?
4:05 am
It's not really possible to know if Google is doing anything or not about it. Usually they'll send a Cease and Desist (C&D) letter to the company first. But that's something the general public may or may not know depending on how public the letter becomes.
The site ChillingEffects.org keeps a database of Cease and Desist letters, but someone has to submit the letters to the database.
I bet there are thousands of sites using Google's Trademarked name without their permission.
We have a long discussion about another company called GoogleMoneyKit going on here.

Paul,
I found your "lens"/website when I "Googled" an offer called "Earn Google Cash" promoted by someone named Danny Goldberg. The wording and offer presented on his webpage is almost exactly like that which you described for the "EarnCashFastWithGoogle". Are these essentially the same fraudulent offers and have you reviewed the "Earn Google Cash" product? What bothers me, if this is a fraudulent offer, is that I came across the ad in an email (subscribed) received from the Career Builder website with job postings in my area. I am currently unemployed.
The information you present in your lens is the first honest accumulation of work at home offer reviews I've been able to find.
Thanks!
5:40 am
Hi,
The "Earn Google Cash"/Danny Goldberg offer is the same as the EarnCashFastWithGoogle.
I'll be posting a little more about the "talking person" named "Danny Goldberg" on EarnCashFastWithGoogle.com's website here in a bit.
OK. Here's the information about "Danny Goldberg" on the EarnCashFastWithGoogle site.
If you look at a site called http://www.Automated-Forex.com which we DO NOT RECOMMEND you'll notice what appears to be the SAME person going by the name of "Michael Vincent" promoting a forex product.
That's because those sites are using a service called http://www.LiveFaceOnWeb.com. I'm not an attorney so I don't know the legalities around doing that, but personally I'd rather see the REAL product maker on the site, not some putative "representative" of the company (cool, I got to use the word "putative" that I learned in 11th grade. LOL).
NOTE: LiveFaceOnWeb is merely providing the service. What ultimately happens to the service they provide is out of their control.
Here's the LiveFaceOnWeb profile for the actor used on both those pages. He goes by the name Doug there.
Hmm. I wonder if that means I could "order" Doug to get him to be a "website representative" on this page? And can I give him any name I want – like "Nuttie McDoogle" or something? I'm sure a lot of you have a few choice names for him.
7:25 am
Well, my friend set up the website for me and used the same template as some of these sites:
http://successmoneyblog.com/trevor/
http://www.davidsonlinebusiness.com/
Anyway, my the hosting provider sent me an email saying they'd received a DMCA notice about the photo and that I had to remove it. I'm sure these other sites will probably receive a similar notice soon, if they haven't already.
7:38 am
There are tons of them. I have a list of 170 of those template-based sites on this page here.
9:03 pm
It seems like a very fraudulent product to me. I think one of the easy first signs is when they start showing you what you can buy with your new money (ie cars, house, vacations) before they even tell you how you will be making all of this money!
Very good breakdown of the website you've got here.
Thank!
-James

I have to admit that I was sincerely interested in this product after seeing many ads for it via myspace. Usually I'm never suckered in by these schemes, but alas these are economically harsh times. Thank god I decided to check on the complaints before I signed up. You've saved me from making a costly mistake. Much appreciated.
P.S. This is my testimonial you can send to those F@&kers
9:42 am
Best testimonial ever! LOL.
Glad you found this information first.
12:44 pm
It would be interesting to have someone (John?) explain actually what happens after you pay your money? ie, what exactly is the product/service being provided. It sounds like some sort of pyramid scheme in which you make your money by convincing others to spend their money with you, but it would be interesting to know.
Anyone….?
10:24 pm
Thanks for this imformation. I tried chatting with the live operator before ordering and they kept repeating the same lines over and over not answering any of my questions thats how i figured it was garbage anyway. Thanks again for analyzing how false this site is.
1:22 pm
Thank-you Paul, much appreciated.
9:14 pm
Thanks for the info. I was sitting here dabating on whether I should give this site a try and you made me realize that I'd probably just be getting scammed….again. Yes, it has happened to me before. Well, thanks again. Keep up the great work. You should be a detective.lol.
1:59 am
Good looking out dogg!
-much appreciated
2:35 am
You're welcome VeruKa and dewbmx.
I'll bet you'll never look at "free kit" offers the same way again, eh? LOL.
5:40 pm
Normally, I have a healthy level of skepticism, but, certain circumstances being as they are, I fell for this one. It's not all bad, though.
I never did receive the package they said they would send, and I had thought that the 7-day trial would begin when I actually received and activated something. So, I was pretty surprised when I found a $29.95 charge on my account, so I called the number listed and spoke with a helpful person who canceled my service and refunded my money.
In conclusion, it is a scam that I hope no one falls for, but I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was to get my money back.
6:35 pm
Gullible,
Just make sure you followup and confirm on your statements that you got the refund.
7:25 pm
I already received it. Again, a pleasant surprise.
8:14 am
I also fell for this one… oops. I had done some research before I ordered it, but it seems as if I was researching 'Google Cash' (by Chris Carpenter and seems to be legit) rather than 'Earn Google Cash' by Danny Goldberg. Does anyone have any feedback on the 'Google Cash' system?
Anyways, I ordered the 'Earn Google Cash' system about a week ago, and still have received nothing. I will call the number tomorrow and see if I can cancel the service right away. Thanks
8:42 am
I have a review of Google Cash here.
I used Chris Carpenter's Google Cash System when it first came out and did VERY well, but I no longer recommend it because there's more of a risk of a person blowing through a lot of money before seeing any success and because there are better products. I think that review is important because it applies to a lot of other products being sold today.
If you want the shortcut of the low-risk, low-cost profit path I think MOST people should take I suggest you read a section I put up called Bootstrapping your business.
Note: For a while I was a moderator for the private training membership for GoogleCash called AdwordMentor
7:58 am
I was also stupid enough to fall for this scam. Usually, I see right through them as I work in an IT support role.
However, this one looked good and I thought what could I lose for giving them a dollar?!
Sure enough, 7 days later a further withdrawal came out of my account.
But to give them their due, when I called up to ask for a refund, they were courteous and said I would have my money back within 5-10 days.
I didn't think I would see it again, but 2 days later it is now sitting back in my account.
So all's well that ends well. Just remember that free money is always too good to be true.
4:38 pm
dose any one no how to cancel it they have took 29 pound out of my bank and i have never recived any ting off them help me please
7:42 am
help, instructions or numbers on how/who to call to cancell this scam.. plz help me!
1:13 pm
this is the number i called to cancell with, 1-866-341-0767, any one calling from the UK just add 00 in front of the 1. hope it helps
5:00 pm
I also fell for this "Earn cash fast with google.com
After reading this article, I phoned the 1-800-712-7226 to find that this is Identity theft protection. The 1-866-342-2994 is the Fraud Protection site. These numbers only operate from Monday to Friday. Finally called the 1-866-341-7163 for the Earn cash fast with google. Was put on hold after a prerecorded message and wondered if anyone would actually answer. After what seemed like a long time,I actually spoke with a person and told them that I wanted to cancel the order. I immediately called my Credit Card Company to see if they would not put any item from this firm, but they said that they could not do that. But to watch to see if anything would be put through and they would investigate it for me.
Hope that this helps anyone that wishes to cancel.

Hi,
Paul.I liked your analysis and observation.I was looking with the website earncashfastwithgoogle.com.I was in doubt when i saw the same guy of forexautotradingpilot guy here who challenges in that site about making money on the forex market.I am very pleased with your work.I am also internet marketer but i dont like to cheat my audiences.I do have website which is free and is real.Paul if you like i want to exchange your link in my website so that my readers get good knowledge about scam.Before exchanging link,I encourage you to verify my website.it is http://www.apnamoneychannel.com
9:08 am
Paurav,
I looked at your site and it looks good.
Are most of the opportunities you post open to residents of India?
I need sites like yours to be able to send my site visitors who are from India as often what I have here isn't quite right for them.
And I get questions from them about opportunities that are very scammy and I really think they just need a site like yours to guide them in the right direction.
9:17 am
hi,
thanks for the reply.Yes it is for most of the asian vistors becuase they cant afford to get scammed.And its just not open to them but its available to all members around the globe.I am going to link your website in my website so that it would help my vistors to know more about scam.thanks
11:16 am
Thanks, Paurav
I'll see if I can find a good section to start putting international sites like yours in. Certainly many of the opportunities listed on WorkAtHomeTruth can be done internationally, but from what I saw on your site it seemed that you're making sure your opportunities available to the Asian visitors.
4:07 pm
I signed up for this and after a week of not receiving anything in the mail. I called to cancel. The Earn Google Cash number told me to go to a website and chat with a live operator. I did so and was able to cancel without a problem. I called the other two numbers too and was able to cancel them without a problem.
7:21 pm
Paul,
I am really grateful I landed on this site. I signed up for it yesterday, initially clicking an ad on facebook, which led me to this link:
http://www.milliondollarclix.com/make-money/?t202id=42965&t202kw=MoneyUK
This will take you to the "Eiffel Tower Couple" page where there is no mention of a 7 day trial or a fee after the 7 days. The links on there points to:
http://www.milliondollarclix.com/make-money/earncashwithgoogle.php
which is the main sales page. Once you click it, the url in the address bar changes a few times (not sure of the significance though)
I have managed to cancel thanks to the excellent information on here.
What still puzzles me is the fact that when you do phone up to cancel a) the person on the other end sounds like he/she expects you to, and b) the reference number is the first 8 digits of your order confirmation number. I am beginning to think it is the same company!!!
Thanks again
J
1:38 am
Thanks for the great info. I was half way thro filling the form out but not the card details when I decided to research them a little
Really glad I found you. Thaks Again

Hey would you be able to send me the numbers you called. Thanks.
10:59 am
I live in Australia dont know if that changes a lot here. however i cant seem to get through to any of the numbers "supplied". If any1 can help me "cancel" that would be great..
Cheers, Chris.

Hi I am also from Australia.Google cash advertises through facebook
4:58 am
Thanks so much for your analysis and thank the lord I found it. I got as far as the "pay me $1" page and alarm bells started to ring so I googled and found your analysis. Am a bit worried they have my address and phone number now so they will no doubt sell that on to companies who will spam the life out of me but better that than anything worse.
Was very suprised because the site was emailed to me saying try this and it was a link in an article in the Guardian newspaper in UK so probably isn't a scam. Shall be writing to the Guardian!!
5:25 am
Hmm. That's strange.
Do you still have that email?
5:36 am
Hi Paul
It was my mother that sent me the scam link and info so have emailed her to see if she can find the page link in the Guardian.
Am so impressed with your site I am just writing a huge blog post about you for my UK readers. Big thumbs up to you. Will post it later today but have put my url in here if you are interested in seeing what I say about you.
Sally
5:36 am
Woops forgot the url … now in

Hey, thanks Sally.
Yes, sure. Go ahead and post the url.
Paul

here you go Paul http://www.country-couples.co.uk/blog/working-from-home-can-you-make-money/
7:15 am
Thanks for the nice write-up Sally. Very nice site, too. Is the whole site yours?
Yes, American's seem to like things hyped-up which makes it tough to find the legitimate opportunities, because what happens is that to sell the legitimate opportunities often THOSE sales pages get hyped up, too so that they'll convert so everything ends up looking the same.
I've been trying to figure out why so many smart people buy dumb business opportunities and think I made some headway in this article I put up at hubpages if anyone's interested.
7:32 am
Yes it's all mine Paul, 2 blogs and website, review site coming soon (gosh I'm exhausted just thinking about it)I'm one of the little people that is trying to do it all with no computer knowledge, no budget but a gut full of enthusiasm .. wish me luck I need it!
8:17 am
Impressive. Yep. Good luck for sure!
10:55 am
Hi I am after the numbers to cancel. I live in Australia
8:26 am
I almost fell for this kit until I got to the part where I had to submit my credit card information and read the disclaimer saying I'd be charged $29.95 per month. When I closed the window, a chat messaging window opened with a person named Sam (a cartoon picture of an attractive blond woman with a headset accompanied the message window) telling me not to cancel because I could earn a lot of money. Curious, I responded saying it was a scam because they were charging me. An automatic response came back saying it wasn't a scam. I responded saying that even charging me $1.00 for a work opportunity was wrong. "Sam" responded the $29.95 "membership" charge the website advertised) and that they had hundreds of satisfied customers.
Anyhow, I noted the bad grammar and writing, flashy graphics and strong persuasive language (and an annoying pop-up video with audio of some guy in a suit saying how unfair it was that there were so many rich people out there and why can't more people like "you" be wealthy) but my curiosity got the best of me.
Basically, trust your gut, anything that sounds too good to be true ALWAYS IS! Especially when it comes to looking young, losing weight and money. Lots of money.
12:59 pm
Earncashfastwithgoogle is 100% Scam. I played along by pretending to order with fake info. When I closed the browser, a pop up box asked me to cancel and chat with a live operator named "Sam". I figured it out it was not live. If you keep typing "Scam", it gives you the same response. It was an automated program, there was no live operator. Try typing the F word and see what is says hehehe..
4:26 am
HI Paul
Unfortunately i am really embarrassed to admit that i have been one of the unlucky ones who have been scammed. Obviously reading late at night has not made my judgement clear. My main concern is that i don't know how to cancel. I have tried the numbers on your screen but as i live in australia, they obviously don't work and there are no other contact details. Also, the last page of their website that i had saved (with all the details) is no longer active – obviously to make cancelling difficult/impossible. I have just checked my banking today, so other than canelling my visa card, I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks NIkki
4:48 am
Nikki,
Here's an article about dialing U.S. toll-free numbers from abroad, however, it doesn't seem to match up with how some Australians said they got through to a toll-free number on a similar product.
If you check this discussion about a similar product, the people from Australia said they dialed 0011 ahead of the toll-free numbers:
Google Success Kit Complaints.
I can't say this with 100% certainty, but based on what the Australians mentioned there it looks like you would need to dial:
0011-1-866-341-7163 for the EarnCashFastWithGoogle product.
and either:
0011-1-800-712-7226 or
0011-1-866-342-2994
For the identity theft/fraud protection service.
10:56 am
the templates are provided
11:12 am
HI Paul
Another thing that this site has scammed me and i presume others on, is that they promise to send me a "google success kit" for just "$1". Well it's been 4 weeks and i'm still waiting.

10:37 am
Im imbarressed to say that i fell for this crap too… working a 12 hour shift then being given the awnser to all your money troubles will do that to a guy. Anyways i felt like an idiot the second after i had signed up. Im from Australia and tried the numbers listed on there site but couldnt get through. I also sent a stronly worded reply email straight back to the order confirmation email u get from them after u sign up. Anyways i finnally found ur site and this number seems to get you through 0011-1-866-341-7163 however i was put on hold and told to ring back later. At this point i was on the verge of cancelling my debit card however luckily i just checked my email again before going to bed and guess what i found.

Iv had a miserable afternoon thanks to all this but im so happy its over. I never fall for this shit but i guess anyone can be suckered. This product is very flawed it offers the client nothing take the advice given on this site and do not under any circumstance sign up for this it is complete crap.
I hope this helps some people.
8:30 pm
let me join the evergrowing list. Foolishly, I too subscribed to this risky business which I somehow stumbled upon from a webpage headed 'Jason gets Green' (link attached if this is allowed http://www.grantsreviews.org/make-money/). I suppose It was late at night and did not notice all the grammatical errors. The alarm bells only sounded this evening when I I re-checked the link on 'Jason gets Green' and I was re-directed to a site called 'webfetti'. It was then that I googled Google Cash and found WORK AT HOME TRUTH. Thanks everyone for your comments. Fortunately I have only lost $1 but had to cancel my visa card to be safe.

Hi All, I am from Australia and I just quickly want to say that anyone wishing to cancel their membership with EarnCashFastWithGoogle.com, you don't need to ring them and waste money that way… I simply (not knowing at the time if I'd get a response)emailed them on — support@quickcashsupport.com — and made sure to ask specifically to cancel my membership & Fraud and Theft protection also. I received a reply email with a cancellation number as listed like Matt mentioned above on 2/2/09. I will double check my bank account closely over this coming month to make sure that this is true. Thank you all for your comments, as this complaints website proves to be a big help in helping others realize they too aren't alone in these situations. Hope you all have a better week NOW
11:14 pm
G'day,
I have just rung the following numbers and talked to operators at each to cancel my 'free' trials (within the trial period). Calling from Australia, the numbers are:
0011 1 866 341 0767 to cancel Earn Cash with Google.
0011 1 866 387 2521 to cancel FraudProtection.
0011 1 866 342 2994 to cancel IdentityTheft.
You need to call between 12:01 am and 1:00pm AEST to get the call centre.
I also sent an email to support@earncashfastwithgoogle.com (no response yet, but it has only been a day).
Now I need to watch my account to ensure nothing is taken out, and if it is, then I need to put a hold on my card and get a new one issued. Hopefully this is the end of this.
4:30 am
Anyone who got taken in by the Earn cash fast with google kits thing… I called 1-866-341-0767. I asked them to cancell my service with them. They asked for my first and last name. then told me that it would be cancelled and within two weeks I would be refunded. I had to request a confirmation number. That was Yesterday. Today I checked my Credit Card and had been issued a refund for the $29.95 US
11:35 am
I too, was in the same boat but I canceled my debit card immidiately a few minutes after I bought the so called product. Good thing I acted fast and only lost $1 as well. plus a download those books i might get something after all.
5:55 am
Hi unfortunately i signed up too b4 reading into it and now want to cancell .did you get the nubers to cancell and were you successful? So mad at myself for not checking prior to signing
3:51 am
Hi Matt,
Did you get your refund? I too got scammed and I am from Australia. I cannot call as I am deaf but have sent an email according your comment, just wondering if you got your money back.

Found this site by following a link from an ad on Facebook that took me here: http://www.marysmoneyblog.com/index.php?t202id=7465&t202kw=bwom5155
The page that come up to order the "kit" had very little info.
6:13 pm
I had the same experience.
12:36 pm
How disgusting is this trick.
To cancel, I went to this site:
http://www.earncashfastwithgoogle.com/contact.html and
called this number (888)541-0915 from the UK.
Managed to cancel the account and get a refund – will have to check in 10 days to see if it actually happens.
'Nice' American lady tried to convince me that i wasn't supposed to receive anything in the post – i told to stop lying and she backed off!
Good luck to the rest of you – i'll post back once i get a refund.

I'm glad I'm not the only sucker who subscribed after qualifying for the "free" kit. I too will call the numbers to cancel. The majority of us like to read these scam websites after midnight (like Nikki) and can't see beyond the potential financial incentives. Luckily I'm not in financial ruin due to this.
Who knows, I might employ "Doug" to create an anti-googlecash-scam site. I can see the humour in myself falling victim to this/these scam(s) but wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I hope this page supersedes the other scam pages in search engines when typing "google cash scam".
I'm in Australia and found the ad on facebook.com
The wording on the site at the time mentioned the economic downturn. I too am someone who doesn't like spam emails, slams doors on sales reps, changes the channel when late-night TV ads come on, wary of any charity workers and hates the price of petrol (gas).
I hope the government authorities, legal representatives of Google.com and the input of the aforementioned victims help create measures to prevent companies like these from scamming future web users. It is my belief that financial penalties or gaol time would be a good start.
I urge those who have bought their elderly parents an internet connection and computer to verify that they're not subscribing.
Target audience marketing works, obviously. I never will Text/SMS a subscription service seen on a TV ad for pictures, videos, ringtones, jokes or other information. I now wonder how my mind would work as well if I saw a service offering an SMS subscription that could make me millions of dollars.
Thanks John and thanks to those that have commented.

I've seen so many variations of this scam advertised on Facebook over the past few weeks… I admit it got me curious, but I remained sceptical, and noticed some of the sites were looking a little bit too similar…
I'm glad I found your site though! Now you've confirmed for me once and for all that I should STAY AWAY from this offer.
Do you think there's a way to stop the ads being displayed on Facebook…? I think they're very misleading, and given the current state of peoples' finances around the world, very enticing. It shouldn't be allowed.
7:12 am
In response to Margie, I was thinking the same. Facebook is receiving funds from this advertising. It is misleading as I fell for it. Fortunately I was able to email and get a refund. I'd say, never ever again will I do something like this again, I guess it was a desperate measure.

I am freaking out right now!! we don't even know how to set up a website in order to get this thing started! That's how non-computer savy we are:) I read sooooo many complaints not only here but elsewhere stating there were class action lawsuits even being filed for all of this for the people who actually are "in" already and have posted all their ads for google and have never been compensated. I lost the 800# but thank God I found your site here and I just tried calling it…unfortunately they're not there until 8am MST…we'll see… I will destroy my debit card and get another if I have to in order for them NOT to get my $$ every month!! They've obviously STOLEN enough for everyone! I'll keep you posted.
5:42 am
Thank you for your heads up on earngooglecash.com. I was checking out googlemoneyprofit.com turn out they are one of the same website. Now they are using different name. So buyer be aware.
5:58 am
One more comment after my last one.
I was trying to check out all work at home scams online. I found this website:avoidwebscam.org. This site recommend 3 website for work at home business claim, they investigate the top three sites. One of them is googlemoneyprofi.com. The investigator sign up with googlemoneyprofit.com make $400.00 in one day, give himself a raise because the investigation.
What I think is avoidwebscam.org is doing the advertise for earngooglecash.com and googlemoneyprofit.com. You can not trust anybody.
6:03 am
Thanks for posting, Barbara.
I wrote about AvoidWebScams.org here on February 21, 2009

Hi re this scam ,I did get a reply back to say that my membership had been cancelled that very day( 8th Feb) but guess what ,I've just received my credit card statement today(6th March) and those thieves have not only taken money out on the 9th feb but also on 14th feb,24th feb,25th feb, 26th feb, 1st march and 4th march to the total of $50.86 au
9:00 am
Managed to get the $29.95 (GBP 21 and some) refund from the google success kit, however, a further GBP 12 and some was taken from my account in the form of the following:
Fraud Protection & Identity Security!!
So i called my credit card company and asked then to cancel my card and send me a new one after explaining what had happened. I was put through to the fraud dept and told that even if i was to get a new card, they would still be able to take money as what these 'google fraudsters' had set up on my account was almost like a direct debit!
So they told me to call the two 'companies', cancel the accounts for both making sure i got a cancellation number for both, then call them back with the details which they would add to my account and get the money back for me if nothing was refunded in approx 10 days.
For FRAUD PROTECTION I called: 866 387 2521 at 2pm GMT and got through, cancelled my account and got a refund and cancellation number.
For IDENTITY SECURITY I called 866 351 8557 at just after 2pm GMT, got through and cancelled my account and also managed to get a refund and cancellation number.
I'll post back when i receive the other refunds – good luck with getting your refunds.
1:30 pm
Hi I got exactly the same reply from them but guess what i checked my credit card statement today and they have taken nearly $51 au out and that was on several occasions after the letter so check your statement. Hope you have better luck that i have had.
9:40 am
Well Unfortananly I bout it. But after seeing all the comments you put forth on here tonight. I will be calling today and doing a big fat cancel on the EarnCashFastWithGoogle. Because everytime i would go to do a down load of the ebook my adobe reader told me there was a problem and would not reveal the Ebook to me. So i am to beleive they are a fraud out there praying on the Google name and that is not a good thing. Thank you for putting your opinion out here for people like me to read and make a decission. I will comeback and let you know how the refund thing works out.
10:15 am
how to contact with them? the number is out of service..
any email or phone number can contact them?
1:01 pm
here's there email,support@quickcashsupport.com Make sure you cancel the fraud protection aswell, good luck
6:08 pm
I signed up with this site
http://unitedkingdom.tomssuccessstory.com/?p=1
and it's a total scam.
Only a 50% refund, still chasing the other half. I've had to TRAWL the internet to find a contact number for these people as they used three different business names on the same page.
Don't fall for it! You'll be $60.00 worse off!
6:10 pm
http://www.complaintsboard.com/bycompany/google-success-kit-a91170.html
try this site too, this was pretty helpful. remember to put the prefix 01 before the phone number if you're dialling from the UK.
good luck!
6:13 pm
Also have a look at this http://www.complaintsboard.com/bycompany/google-success-kit-a91170.html
it's handy to see what others have done here too. Remember to add the 01 before the number if you're calling from the uk.
I also notice that the 'report abuse' email address abuse@earncashfastwithgoogle.com isn't working.
What a shock!!
3:07 pm
First they charge you for shipping. Then they say there is no shipping and they give you a "link" that sends you to a website that has nothing but complaints.
I will add to these complaints

The actual offer from "EarnFastCashWithGoogle" as I read it on Feb28/09 was to risk $1 to be able to see their material. I did so, looked at it and 10 minutes later called the customer service phone no. to cancel.
It's worse: According to them I automatically agreed to apply for 2 other services: 1) Fraud Protection, 2) Identity Security. However, DO NOT RECALL CLICKING AN "I AGREE". I only began to investigate when I found a number of unauthorized charges on my credit card, beginning 3 weeks later. I phoned all the numbers, by myself, and subsequently by conference call with a representative of the credit card company, to ensure that all accounts are closed.
Apparently within their agreement, all previous charges are NON-REFUNDABLE, and so effectively, when I agreed to $1 I was actually committing to pay $19.90 USD, and more each month thereafter, if I hadn't caught and acted on it today, March 26

I mean yes I was fooled by them, and after I've read this page, I understand now cleatly that it is a fraud, the free google kit, earnfastwhitgoogle etc. I have purchased the free google kit, like a fool cause when I read here some line when it say (we can not provide you all with the free kit, Iam am sorry) just this sentence make no sense, we can't and I am sorry it is two person speaking, but there is just one person there making the site, and he or she, is common with that kind of fraudukous site creating cause it's done fast in my eyes.
How I have cancel it, we can't… The only ways to not get chaqrge is by contacting your credit card company and explain the all story about your experiance with the fraudulous site and account. Therefor you will surely be asked to fax the prof of the site, the cancellation process, if you call their service take the name of the person who you'll be talking and all the information you can on paper, send all and most information as possible like phone numbers of the fraud company. You credit company will cancel your card and resend you a new one with a new code. If it is like that, we must do something like a website where all complain against fraudulous internet company and all their information as possible, and about there the autority can work on that info. All this mony that we give to these poeple is not taxed or wathever it don't go in our country for shure so folks be carefull we dont want to buy something we dont want, perhaps this money is used in an other country to prepare something bad, who know who is doing these fraud site, internet genious hacker or intelligent poeple working in high society, who know, be carefull again… Anyways it is almost impossible to do that much money easyly like that cause the governement would do it to so think about it everybody would be rich in short laps of time….

I thought the same thing about the earncashwithgoogle. I figured that for 1.97 for a free trial kit isn't tht big of a deal. Howerver, as I waited for the kit to arrive my credit card was charged 72.96 for use of a website. There was nothing that I saw about automatically subscribing me to this website($72.96)and iPlanFinancial magazine($38.34) The trial membership ran out and I was billed this morning and with the phone calls I made it looks like I may be out the 72.96. When i talked to Google they had knowledge of the 1.97 for the kit,(which I still haven't got) but not the 72.96 freshkeywordideas.com charged me. I hope to get to the bottom of this very soon and am open to suggestions on how to or who to deal with. Thanks for the help. I wish I had read this page earlier.
9:19 am
Thank you so much for your "confusing" information….I was nearly sucked in…..as per usual I always research before I let myself into to anything.
Thanks for not letting me do a huge mistake with EarnFastCashWithGoogle

THIS COMPANY IS FRUAD. THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR 39.95 BEFORE YOUR 3 DAT TRIAL PERIOD IS EVEN UP. AND WHEN YOU CALL ABOUT IT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL YOU ITS JUST "PENDING" BUT HOW CAN YOU CHARGE SOMEONE BEFORE THE SERVICES ARE EVEN USED?!? THEN YOU GER THESE "BONUS TRIALS" LIKE FRUAD PROTECTION AND ID SECURITY, THAT DOESNT DO ABSOULTELY NOTHING BOYT TELL YOU HOW TO PERVENT FRUAD AND ID THEFT. WELL… HELLO!!! THATS A NO BRAINER… DONT GIVE YOUR INFORMATION OUT AND NEVER GIVE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO ANYONE. THIS COMPANY IS FINDING ANY WAY POSSIABLE TO MAKE MONEY. THIS 21YR OLD CANADIAN DUDE IS MAKING MONEY OFF THE FINE PRINT! AND THEN YOU CALL TO CXL; THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO CALL THE 2 AFFILIANT COMPANIES. SO THOSE "BONUS TRIALS" GET TO CHARGE YOU. BECAUSE YOU THINK WHEN YOU CXL ONE THAT CXL'S EVERYTHING BUT NO. WHEN YOU CALL THE CSR YOU SPAEK TOO HAS THE ABILITY TO CXL ALL 3 ACCTS. WITH ONE PHONE CALL BECUASE ITS ALL IN A CLICK OF A BUTTON. BUT THEY TELL YOU THAT YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO CALL THIS OTHER NUMBER. TELL THEN THAT YOUR NOT GOING TO CALL A BAZILLION NUMBER TO CLX THE S*IT THEY ADDED TO YOUR ACCT. ASK TO SPAEK TO A MANAGER. TELL HIM OR THE THAT YOUR GOING TO CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GERERAL AND YOUR BANK. THIS WILL PISS THEM OFF BECUASE THEY WILL NOT WANT CHARGE BACK'S OR ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THERE END. THEN IF YOU ASK FOR A ADDRESS… THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME BOGUS ADDRESS OUT OF NEW YORK THAT NOONE IS GONIG TO REPLY OR GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY…EARN CASH FASH WITH GOOGLE IS A PIECE OF CARP!!!!

I just saw this posted in a Google discussion apparently from a reporter from TV New Zealand:
"Hi – I'm a reporter with Television New Zealand's "Fair Go" consumer rights programme. I have been investigating this "Earn Cash Fast With Google" website and "Fair Go" would like to run a story on internet scams and how people can protect themselves. I note that there are a number of NZrs on this site who have been sucked in by this website. I would like to pursue this with the banks and advise you how to get your money back – and would like to warn others how to avoid falling into the same trap. Please contact me if you are happy to tell "Fair Go" about your experience. Email to fairgo@tvnz.co.nz with your contact details and I will call you to discuss. Thank you!

2:28 am
Elsa, I'm not sure if this is the same product as you're talking about:
http://googlecashsecretclub.com/ (Others – do NOT sign up for that).
When I clicked on the Terms and Conditions it took me to this site:
https://secure.securesiteorders.com/googes/080409/documents/terms.php
Does http://www.googlecashsecretclub.com look like the right site? (Others – do NOT sign up for that).
If it is (which I do NOT know from what you've said), they are listing the following potential charges:
"Your Membership is the perfect tool to start making money on the Internet. We've helped thousands of people achieve their goals. By submitting this form you are ordering Income Easy Street and the trial membership for $1.95 Instant Access. If you do not cancel within the 3-day trial period, you will be charged a one-time amount of $129.95. In addition, you will be provided access to an online Learning Center which will bill at $39.98, unless you cancel, 30-days from the date of enrollment and you will be re-billed every 30 days at $39.98 per month until cancelled. To cancel call 877-557-5473 M-F, 9am-5pm, MST within 3 days of the date you ordered.
You will also receive a Risk Free 14-day Trial membership to HomeSource. You may cancel anytime during the trial period by calling 1-800-537-0984 M-F, 8am to 5pm, MST. If membership is continued you will automatically be charged $29.95 a month."
You may also want to read the information about Credit Card and Debit Cards at http://www.helpwithmybank.gov
Please, let me know if GoogleCashSecret.com club is the right company.
