After reading the news today about Google suing Pacific WebWorks, a lot of us who have been reporting on Pacific WebWorks and other companies which seem to use the Google Trademark in a deceptive manner…were thrilled to see Google take this action.
So, I decided to see if it was a big enough deal to make the top of Google itself. Well, it did…but not exactly in the way I expected. LOL.
Here’s what I got when I searched for “Pacific WebWorks” on Google:
Considering all of the Adwords Accounts that Google Disabled it seems a little more than odd that they did NOT disable the account of the company they allege “perpetuate Internet scams on unsuspecting consumers using the trusted Google brand” and have engaged in a “Scheme To Defraud The Public Using Google’s Marks”.
Additionally, according to this Lawsuit Google recently filed against Pacific WebWorks:
“This action seeks to stop a widespread Internet advertising scam that is defrauding the public by misusing the famous Google brand. The scam victimizes unsuspecting consumers by prominently displaying the famous GOOGLE mark, by suggesting sponsorship by the plaintiff, Google Inc. (“Google”), and by urging consumers to obtain a kit supposedly showing them how to make money working from home with Google. The kit is advertised as free, except for a nominal shipping and handling charge or access fee. However, people who sign up for these offers have their credit cards charged with substantial recurring monthly fees. They also receive little of value, or nothing at all, in return for their payments.

Google TradeMark within Domain Names:
The Lawsuit also alleges that “consumers are lured into the scam through a series of
websites that prominently display the Google name, logo and other trademarks. These websites
often include “google” in the domain name address, such as”…
