CoryGetsCash.com – or Curren$y?

“Cory” of CoryGetsCash.com made quite an entrance when he posted in the discussion about the Make Money Posting Links on Google Scam.

Note: Be sure to check the photo’s of “Cory”‘s blue Audi in this blog post to find out why I called this post “CoryGetsCash.com – or Curren$y?”

Good ol’ “Cory” of CoryGetsCash.com really won my heart when he posted the following messages in that discussion:

“I made money off doin’ it. It’s not my fault your to stupid to figure out how to really make money like me. I get paid!!!!!” – Cory of CoryGetsCash

“Cory is paid!!! Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me.” – Cory of CoryGetsCash

“Paul, you really are sad… You posted a link to google images FAIL!!! LOL i get paid you don’t, end of story.”

However, when I replied to Cory of CoryGetsCash.com with:

“Well, Cory, I posted a link to Google images, because most of the images on your site were likely stolen and I didn’t want to perpetuate the offense.

Here’s the image with head chopped off:

I guess I was “sad” enough for the National Consumers League to use much of my write-up of Google Money Tree in their write-up here:

Google Money Tree – Bitter Fruit for Consumers.

Of course the Texas Attorney General filed charges against them now

And for 20/20 (I was tired and put DateLine originally), the Sydney Morning Herald, and NPR’s MarketPlace to use me as a resource must make me pathetic.

Of course there are more enforcement actions to come, but unless your one of the more successful affiliates, they’ll likely ignore you and you’ll be fine.

In the meantime, you can sharpen your skills in trying to circumvent the law by boning up on the Federal Trade Commission’s Policy Statement on Deception here.

Oh, by the way, I do make money. The reason I can spend so much time at this site is because I’ve developed numerous automated systems and have 4 people working for me and several partnerships, including a company that got $500,000 in investment money recently – not a ton, but if you understand how real business and the nature of early round investing works it would make sense to you.”

Cory of CoryGetsCash mysteriously disappeared from the discussion. Which got me to looking more closely at his site as well as some of the other sites hosted on the same I.P. address.

Now, I’m not sure if he’s responsible for all the activity going on with the OTHER sites on the same I.P. address, but there are some REALLY interesting things going with them.

But let’s start with CoryGetsCash.com first since he wants you to buy into his idea that you can “easily” make money “just posting links on Google”.

Cory must have real self image problems since he’s using photos of the famous rapper Curren$y on the CoryGetsCash.com blog.

Take a look at the following two pix (once again I cropped them to avoid perpetuate the offense of using potentially stolen photos):

Curren$y’s photo, including the famous “Fly Society” logo that “Cory” washed out on “his” picture:

Let’s just say, “This aint no Cory”.

Google Pro Kit Complaints

I’ve been helping people who were sold into getting the Google Pro Kit by OTHER sites. Imporant: WorkAtHomeTruth has NEVER recommended the Google Pro Kit by Michelle Valdez and NEVER will.

If you already bought Michelle Valdez’ Google Pro Kit, click here for our write-up of the Google Pro Kit and why we do NOT recommend it.

We’ve also seen a new twist to the fake websites we posted in the comments of the discussion called BradsMoney – Where’s that Government Check. Now it seems some of these fake websites with fake photos and fake stories are making quite dubious claims that the Google Pro Kit is recommended by Oprah and has appeared on CBS News.

After you read it you’ll begin to realize how many checks you see promoting “Google Kit” type offers are fake and how many photos of those happy-go-lucky people are STOLEN. It’s pretty stunning.

The other type of program that has been promoted aggressively through these sites are programs claiming that they can help you to get government grants.

Of particular interest is what’s called the “Prenotification Negative Option Rule”:

“The Federal Trade Commission enforces the Prenotification Negative Option Rule. The Rule requires companies to give you information about their plans, clearly and conspicuously, in any promotional materials that consumers can use to enroll. If the sales presentation for a plan is made orally, say on the phone, the terms and conditions still must be disclosed clearly and conspicuously during the presentation. For example, companies must tell you:

  • whether there’s a minimum purchase obligation;
  • how and when you can cancel your membership;
  • how many announcements and rejection forms you’ll receive each year, and how often you’ll receive them;
  • how to reject merchandise;
  • the deadline for returning the rejection form to avoid shipment of the merchandise; and
  • whether billing charges include postage and handling.”
