Scam: Google Money System or Google Kit

I have been seeing a strong wave of posts and discussion threads on the topic of the Google Money System or Google Kit. In short, there are emails going out telling people Google will pay you by using Google's services. I did not get into the details on how they work, but I can tell you, Google is not paying you for these services.

I see tons of threads, tons of them, in the various forums, asking why hasn't Google paid me for this yet. Or asking more questions about these services. Google has not yet responded officially because Google isn't offering any of these programs. I am sure their lawyers are on it, trying to crack down on these people using Google's name in part of this scam.

One thread at Google Web Search has a confirmation from a third party member, who responded to this claim. The person said:

Just because the Google name is mentioned does not mean that Google has anything to do with it. There is wide-spread use of the Google name in relation to money-making schemes. You will have to use your common sense as you evaluate anything like this (even when the Google name is not mentioned.) Read the fine print on the sites. Search the internet for other discussions about the specific offer that you are checking into. A search on this site for [ money ] [ cash ] [ scam ] should provide you with a variety of opinions about these types of schemes.

I assume Googlers can't officially respond until their lawyers look into it. But Google should do something, because it seems like this issue is getting worse. I guess an official blog post on the issue would do good. If that blog post ranked #1 in both the organic and paid listings, it might save some people from signing up to this possible scam.

I'm sure I've seen ads to that tune on Facebook actually - I'll have to check them out if I see them again and see if they pushing the same snake oil.

 

HI Mate..I am totally agree with you, poor guys are wasting their hard earned money into b**l s**t as these all website are scams and on the front screen it seems only $ 1.95 handling fees but down in small fonts it states it will be $ 47 every month unless you cancel the order but you are too late always to cancel. Guys use some common sense, i can understand that we all require extra income, i too want the same and i am searching from last six month and i got none because before subscribing to any of it i check all the resources and finds that it is also one of a scam. Regards Sanjiv ahuja

 

What is a scam?

Is a scam something that has terms in small print that people agree to unknowingly? If so, then there are bigger scams we have to deal with.

Is a scam something that provides claims that are completely unfounded, and sell a product that has no chance of backing the claims it makes? I think so.

So , by my definition , Google Money System would have to be something that does not come through on it's claims at all to be a scam.

So , I am one of the individuals that does use the program and does make money. What's funny is that 20/20 did a long line of reviews and investigations into these products, and in the end , they said that the most *anyone* makes online is $150 per week. I don't know about this blog, but I know many of just my standard blogs make that in a DAY. In addition to that, google money system has been making me more than that.

Heck, I've had a guy email me who stated he was making $400,000 per week with google money system, although I don't know if this is 100% true or not.

 

this is put to anyone who has made money from google cash systems what is it your actually doing? one thing i notice when it come to finding out scams on the internet alot of the site out there will never tell you what your actually need to do. instead they'll sell you the benifits of the system and how it can make you x amount of cash ion so monay days. another tactic is to tell you how much money was made by person a in a month. what they dont tell you is how long it took person to get to that magic $10,000 month. all the GCS sales page are exactly the same and are sold is this format. yes you can make money from it but its a scam because its tricking innocent people into thinking its something its not. why else would the put the monthly fee in the small print?? in my opinion if you want to make money online you'll have to learn first and the only way to do that is by getting taught by peple who are already making money all the time. where can you find these people all in one place?

 

what the fxxk! I just received the email today and I have no idea where they got my email address. any idea?

 

To previous poster : There are 2 scenarios with getting mail about the system. 1 You've agreed to get emails from them (Which is the case 80% of the time) or it's unsolicited spam mail. If you click unsubscribe on the emails, a notification is sent to the service & they remove you from the list forever. If you still get emails a week after, it's illegal spam email from a foreign country.

 

If this google money system is a scam then why hasent google put a stop to it.If someone is infringing on the google name to make money and scam some one than google has a law suit that wont stop. So in my eyes this has got to be legite or google is the one's thats pulling the scam thats why there has been no leagle action taken so if it is a scam by someone other than google lets see some leagle action, otherwise we can just asume that it realy does work and it is a real thing.

 

I found out about the "google money system" thru a google paid link. so that may explain why google is dragging their feet on it- they are making money too from the scads of ne'r do wells wanting to make this money system look legit. Litmus test: if someone claims to pay you a lot for doing next to nothing, it's untrue- simple as that.

 

I was reading the fine print on one of the web pages and it says google does not sponser the google money system and is in no way affiliated with it. So why is there name on it. I think that answers the question people yes it is a scam and it looks like google is pulling it off thats why there is no leagle action taken. This product is bs and dont fall for it or any other scams like it.

 

I'm so glad I found this site and someone is doing something to speak out against this scam. Yes, I was tempted by this too but then I also noticed none of these people say what you actually do to make all this money. I went to one of the websites selling the system and clicked on their Terms and Conditions link, you know the thing most people just say they agree to without actually reading it? I can't say exactly what it says because of the Copyright, but anyone who doesn't read it and just buys the system will be in for a nasty shock if they think a couple of dollars is all they have to pay. They'll also have a hard time getting the money back, if they're able to at all, and you can bet cancelling will be no easy task either. Go read it for yourself, you'll see what I mean. It's the link right at the bottom of the page, the one in teeny tiny writing, next to the privacy policy. The lesson to be learned? Read the fine print!

 

All I can say is that it is extremely difficult to make money on the internet. Even with a great product...If I had the secret on how to make millions, I would not share it with strangers unless that would make me more money...Let's face it this is how these scam artists make their money...by perating you from yours with the hope that it will work.

 

LOOK EVERYBODY WE ALL KNOW NOW THAT THIS IS BULLSHIT. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN THINK THIS WORKS WHEN GOOGLE AINT EVEN AFFILIATED WITH IT. IT OBVIOUS THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH THE SCAM SO LETS SEE IF ANYBODY STEPS UP AND DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW THEY WONT CAUSE GOOGLE WONT SUE THEM SELFS. PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THIS THE ECONOMY IS BAD AND NOBODY CAN AFFORD TO THROW MONEY AWAY. IT WILL COME BACK ON THE PEOPLE PULLING THE SCAM OFF LETS JUST HOPE ITS SOONER THAN LATER.

 

I am all for helping people succeed. However, if I was making boat loads of money on autopilot, why would I try to sell my secret for essentially pennies. Scam written all over this one.

 

1 thing that ive learned anout ,aking money is that when you find success you seel your success because eventually some one is going to find out how your making money wether you tols that person or not so you bank in the benefits of your success.

 

I like the irony that this is apparently an offer designed and run through company listed as the #1 affiliate network on a major affiliate manager portal that just posted an audio about ethics in affiliate marketing. :-)

 

What gets me is its got googles name on it and they dont even endorse it. Its accutaly throug emillionairs witch has been proven to be a scam what more do you need.

 

What I think makes it a *Scam* more than just deceptive advertising is that they display a check from "GOOGLE INC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043". If Google is "In no way affiliated" with the program, why would they write you a check? They wouldn't, and don't. Google is not paying anyone to post links on Google. Chances are, this is an updated version of the "Make $1000 a week posting simple free ads in local newspapers." Also, a scam.

 

Now this is how to deal with these scumbags:

1)Search for "Action Mouse Mover" free trial download.
2)Find one of their sponsored ads on Google. (They have to pay Google anything from $0.10 to $1+ per click)
3) Set up your trial version of Action Mouse Mover by positioning your cursor over their link. Hit F2 on your keyboard. Add 2-3 sec waiting time in the wait box.
4) Click on their sponsored link.
5) Position your cursor over the "back" button on your browser. Hit F2 again and add 2-3 seconds depending on the speed of your internet connection.
6) Go back to the first page.
7) Set the repeat cycle to do this clicking for say 2-3 times (to check if everything is OK)
8) If you happy with the performance start the program, set it to repeat every 5-6 seconds and leave your PC on over night.
9) Hopefully they will be confronted by a huge clicking bill from Google.
10) Pass this remedy on to all your friends and put these scumbags out of business.

(Make sure "AMM" is active before hitting F2 every time by clicking on its tab in the task bar)

 

I just read the first couple paragraphs of the Terms & Conditions. You will be charged $72.21 for the monthly membership fee. They'll also charge you membership fees for FraudSafeLockID ($38.84) and GrantSpring ($24.87). They don't tell you what these things are for but you'll get charged! That's almost $136 a month! Buyer beware!

 

i was so alarmed when they charge another 47usd from my credit card. this is ridiculous! dont believe anything thats so easy. nothing is easy nowadays. you earn money by your sweats and blood involved not by just sitting there on your computer and doing nothing but posting links to google! that google money kit site is ruining googles reputation and i hope they will soon fix the problem and this illegal things wont spread out cause innocent people are harmed! please stop google money kit!!

 

I just advertised on graigslist to get a few more mowing jobs.Some guy emailed me the getpaidgoogle site to help me out. I did not go to the site but googled it first. Glad I did, thanks for the heads up. Money is scarce

 

HI, does anyone know the best way to cancel once joined?

 

I fell for a google scam a couple of years ago selling b.s. ebooks for a company. Google charges an arm and a leg for minimal exposure. Also, all of these blogs by the people have the same thing in common - they all have the same testimonials from the same people. Hmm, wierd!

 

I just tried to sign up before I saw this blog...i typed in my credit card number and everything and clicked accept....30 seconds later it said I wasnt eligible for this promotion...I have the biggest feeling i just got screwed and now they have my credit card number...WOW.

 

Im glad I came to this site before signing up for that scam. I had a strong feeling it was bs. people need to know more about this.

 

I looked into it too, but did not enter my credit card details. The web site was not secure, so they haven't got anything from me. It was advertised on Facebook - obviously Facebook don't screen their add's for scams!!

 

Glad I found this site. It looked too good to be true, but, my wife insisted I look into it. She's looking for a web-based business. I downloaded the terms & conditions, and, essentially, I did not sign up because it was totally unclear as to how much would be charged monthly! No Thanks! We'll keep looking

 

I got stung with this scam so i quickly cancelled my credit card the next day. Do you think this was a good thing to do. Hopefully when they go to charge my card it will decline. I know it is a bit of a pain to cancel your cards but it worth it so they cant't access your money

 

http://www.marysmoneyblog.com/y/index.php?t202id=21508&t202kw=gpaid

Another possible scam - showed up on my yahoo account

 

NOTICE, Everyone that has their pictures up with checks on those sites has their face or atleast half of their face covered up?

 

It's a super scam. For anyone who it crossed his mind to get into this deal I honestly urge not to do it. You won't make any money in 1000 years besides your credit card starts to get charged. I warn you again do not by the Google KIT. Super scam. Stay alive.

 

You know who the real scammer is? Google. I know we're all supposed to treat Google like they invented the internet, but they've got two goals: controlling information and making money.

These Google Money Scammers don't get in the way of either of those two goals, and so Google does nothing about it. Furthermore, the scammers make money. Do you know how they make money? They get tons of traffic by buying ads on Google. Google sends them the traffic, the scammers convert that traffic, and both Google and scammer laugh all the way to the bank.

Sure, these scammers are mugging people, but Google's selling them the guns. Let's all keep waiting for their "legal team" to help prevent people from getting scammed. It's not like they could just blacklist domains, or anything...

 

WHAT ABOUT THIS KID JAMES WHO SO CALLED MAKES 100,000 A WEEK FROM THE KIT. THERE ARE VIDEOS OF HIM WITH FANCY CARS, LOUIS VUITTON AND EVERYTHING. HE BENEFITED FROM THE KIT. CHECK IT OUT. http://www.jamesmakesmoney.com/. PEOPLE WHO LEFT COMMENTS ALSO SHOWED THEIR CHECKS THAT WERE AT MOST 20,OOO. IDK PEOPLE

 

i tried to look around the internet to see if it was a scam, couldn't find anything and now that i went ahead and did it, i found this site, i canceled after reading the terms and conditions that i didn't see before but i don't know if i'm going to have to cancel my card too.

 

Okay... they got to me last night with an ad posted on a movie link... found your forum this morning. Thanks everyone for your postings, it looked to good to be true! There are no free lunches. Cheers.

 

Please if you see a site thats new do a scam check on it first i am doing cashcrate for a year now i make a few hundred bucks a month.nothing to get rich from but it works check the scam reports.its 100% free no credit card require u get pay to fill out surveys.this is the link. http://cashcrate.com/1315383

 

This is a website of testimonials that anyone who has been suckered in can add to http://www.reviewopedia.com/google-home-business-kit.htm?comm_page=2
also, they can go to http://IC3.gov to report it

 

JUST BECAUSE THEY PUT GOOGLE'S NAME ON IT DOESNT MEAN GOOGLE HAS TO GET INVOLVED.

USE YOUR OWN COMMON SENSE WHEN DEALING WITH THIS CRAP.

 

Is google cash a scam? Yes it definitely is, google cash scams have existed for some time. The google cash scam is the newest addition to a long list of scams and is appearing all over the internet. They go by several different names such as google cash scam, googlecash, google money tree scam, google kit scam, make money with google and the list continues. So I am sure a lot of you out there are wondering how to make money with google and if it is possible. Well the short answer to that is yes it is very possible, that is if you are devoted into to putting the time and effort in to make money with google.
Do not give a penny to programs offering to make you money with google not even shipping.

Visit http://www.google-cash-scam.com to learn how they scam, watch videos that expose their websites and learn the process to making money with google.

 

All people need to do is to USE Google to find out if it is a scam or not. And if you got hoodwinked, try your local Attorney General's office.

Good luck, and Good Night.

This was the first sign (other than the promise of $10,000 a month for doing nothing) that this wasn't legit: the e-mail address that sent the offer to me. (GoogleExclusive@zeetracks.info) Yeah, that looks real official-like.

 

I KNOW AROUND 20 PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DOING THIS AND NONE OF THEM MADE ANY MONEY AT ALL. THEY ACTUALLY LOST MONEY EVERY MONTH. I SAW AN AD OF SOME DUDE WHO SAYS HE MADE TONS OF MONEY AND BOUGHT FERRARIS AND LAMBOS. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE NOT HIS CARS, AND HE GOT PAID A CHEESEBURGER TO DO THE AD. A F******** CHEESEBURGER!!!! HAHAHA TRUE STORY!!!

 

Thats funny you said that jay because I actually KNOW the guy who did the ad. (through friends) I heard this guy". He made it all up! Hes actually from the suburbs and rides the bus around everywhere. Anyways your right, i heard he got a gift certificate at red robin for 2 free cheeseburgers and a drink to do the ad!! And the messed up part is that google didnt even sponsor the ad, it was people that tried to use the google name, without ant permission!!! sounds like a lawsuit!! anyway hell i would have done the ad for a cheeseburger too!! If all i had to do was talk on a camera with cool cars.. The funny part is the guy talking sounded like an uneducated bum

 

hhahahahahahahaha thats the funnest thing i ever heard! toooo funny! what a chump! Glad i didnt sign up for this shit! Jason was the name of the guy that supposedly had the cars.. and ur right he sounded like an idiot! Im surprised he even knows how to use a computer! better yet im surprised he even knows what a computer is!

 

Aight that is so not funny!! dont listen to these guys people thats not all true.. Its true that many of the people that agreed to do the ads werent paid in cash, and in fact they were givin gift certificates at certain restaurants, but the truth is, this whole scam was masterminded by a man name Giierge Dubbyahboosh. He ended up scamming millions of people through creditcard companies and the law did infact catch up with him. He is now awaiting federal charges of internet scamming, and also has a lawsuit against him for child pornography and stagetory rape. It turns out he has close nit relations with catholic priest Sir John Paul CHeiaynee who also is goin to jail for chils pornography

 

Is this google money website is going to earn some money for us or not?
Please help me. i am planing to register.

 

hi everybody, I was hoping to get an answer on how to cancel the GOOGLE KIT. I have been trying to cancel but there is no response through call and I could not find any other to cancel it. it says 7 days trial and will charge 46 dollars. any help ???

 

i was bored and wrote in all my details on one of these sites i clicked next because it said there was more infomation to be given but it oreferd the google profit kit and took my details and 99p from my bank so it said my bank isnt going to be at risk of any more money coming out of it is there ?? i didnt even want to send away for it i was going to click off it. i have learnt my lesson playing around on sites i wud just like to no is my money safe in my bank? thanks

 

Hay people dont be fooled by this it is with out a dougt a scam. I got a friend who does ad sense through google and makes decent money but nothing like these assholes say. Besisde it totaly free just go to google and type in ad sense and sign up and make some ads and you will get paid not much but its something.These people are just people using googles name to try to get your money and google lets them. Dont belive it when they says google aint involved because they are the reality of it is google is pulling the scam so they are indeed in every way involved. So be smart dont sign up if you want to do it go sign up on google and do the same thing for free. But be careful cause google will fuck you by doing that to. ALL I HAVE TO REALLY SAY IS FUCK GOOGLE AND EVERY ONE AFFILIATED WITH THOSE BASTERDS THAT PULLING THE SAME FUCK YOU ALL.

 

I just signed up to see what it was all about and ugh i cant tell you how dissapointing it is. I never got the materials and they never advertised the other affiliates that they signed you up for. So now i have to wait for my credit card to be charged and then yell at them to refund me. What a big false advertisement. If ever there is a class action, i so want in.

 

I fell for this a few weeks ago. So went to the site again pretending to be interested - but did not input info. As I was exiting the site, a "LIVE" agent window chat came up. So I played along. See how coniving these sharks are:

Isn't it weird that every website offering this scam has a comment block under but its always disabled due to "spam"? I think they let their friends write GOOD comments on there then disable it.

 

yah i have been looking for an internet money maker, which i have been told over and over is not real, and stumbled across "GoogleOffer"... so i googled "GoogleOffer" and got here read around and sure enough in the agreement policy here are some things it said, "... your credit card will automatically be charged a One Time Fee of $98.04 for the product itself. ..." and "... you will be automatically charged $48.16 each month to my credit card for enrollment in our Online Resource Center. ..." sounds like oneee sweet deal to me.. get charged out the wa- zoo for crap that does not even get you anywhere but broke.

 

i just want to think every body for this because i was thinking about doing it i wasnt going to read the fine print (stuiped) of me anyway thank you so much for saving me a bundle

 

LET me say something but this google money stuff is bullshit. they bascially try to still my credit card in try to make purchases but they coulndt cause i didnt' give them my sercuity code there is a way out cancel your visa card. and get a new one.

 

I saw an ad for this on facebook, read through the testimonial, then googled to see if it was a scam. I found a purported news sight running a story that looked suspiciously familiar. It turns out the testimonial and the news story were essentially the same with only the names changed. The proprieters of this "money system" doctored a sight to look like a news source to add legitimacy to their claims. Clever, but if that doesn't say scam, then you're not listening.

 

I have seen an ad, and also a news article of some sort that my boyfriend sent me stating that a couple by the name of Mary and Kevin Steadman in Round Rock, TX were making bundles of money with Google. Here is the link to the article: http://nationalemploymentnews.com/employment.php?arid=work&gclid=CJfg-oiPipsCFRIhnAodQVlIpQ

We did a little research of our own through public records, and it turns out that there is no Mary and Kevin Steadman that live in Round Rock, Texas. In addition, while the article looks official with all of the ABC, CNN, MSNBC and USA Today logos - I would be willing to bet that they don't have permission from any of these companies to use their logos.

This is a SCAM - don't fall for it! This goes back to the old saying, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

 

an easy online business to start is drop shipping. look into it :)

 

I signed up for this so-called money making idea that Google is advertising and it is a scam!!! Be warned. Do NOT sign up for this. They send your bank account information to six different companies that will take money from your account every week and even though your bank may be able to give you phone numbers to the companies that are doing it, over half of them are disconnected numbers. Furthermore, they are not even companies in the United States because there are also foreign exchange rates with these fees they take from your account. If you notice even one charge on your account from this, my best advise is to cancel whatever card you used to sign up for it and monitor your account very closely. This has cost me over $300 and never even received the kit!

 

I saw the ad on facebook. It claimed Google giving away free software for great money making oportunity.

I clicked on this URL:

http://www.usa-daily-news.com/business/index.php?t202id=689&t202kw=

at this URL:

http://www.usa-daily-news.com/business/index.php?t202id=689&t202kw=

It looked like the USA News site but when I went to the main page:

http://www.usa-daily-news.com

It could not connect.

It's a deceptive website trying to lure you in. As previous blogers have pointed out, when you get to the Google Kit page scroll down to read the fine print. You will find it's not associated with Google and there is a reaccuring monthly charge of $36 after two week trial.

I have found their are various business promotionals that have used the same gimic, portray the free trial as FREE. These people ought to be hung by their thumbs for overselling and being deceptive. I have recieved these ads on Criags List in response to my ads from bogus users, you can tell from their numbered or letter coded emails. Scam, scam, scam- spam.

I'n not saying you can't make money off of it but it may take a really good business plan and if your not savy to a plan then you'll probably end up screwing yourself. Even viable businesses won't work without a good business plan and effective efforts. So be carefull out there!

 

To the Post on June 17, 2009 by Goldie,,,where you mention they talk about Mary and Kevin Steadman....one ad I saw that almost sucked me in said that Mary Steadman from O'Fallon MO, which is fairly close to where I live...I think I even saw her making money from Troy, MO..which is even closer to home. The Steadmans seem to be making their rounds across the US. :) I almost signed up for this a couple of times but each time I looked at the small print in the terms and conditions....the monthly cost is different from $74.00 to $86.00 and it talks about being billed after the trial period which I can find nothing that says what the trial period is. I've also see it state the shipping charges are either $.99, $1.99 or $2.99....
I'm really glad this post is going and hope many more people find it before falling into the trap.

 

I owned a business before and it sounds like a scam because nothing comes easy. It takes hard work to succeed and there's no quick way to get rich! I do know this as far as Google stepping in to clarify it. Why would they? They are getting great exposure off it and it's costing them nothing and until it does they will never care too!

 

so this google stuff is a scam?? i was just bout to sign up for it...

 

Dont' be stupid. YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. Your mind is so consumed with hope that you are ignoring all the signs that this is a scam that idiots fall for. Don't be an idiot. If you have already fallen for this, learn from your mistake and move on. Do you know who is keeping these people in business? You are! If everyone would just grow up and pay attention to their instincts, there would not be companies making millions off people who can't afford it. There should be no more question in anyone's mind. This is a scam. End of story.

 

I signed up to this google kit last week they contacted me. Im calling them monday morning. What do I do..... how do I cancel. should I cancel my credit card or warn my creditor...

jesus christ, this is insane how many people are actually doing this, wouldn't it make sense if someone actually signed up for this, recorded it to make a documentary about it boycotting there name+google? & saving countless hopefully people money? it needs to be done, im thinking why cant i find a video on youtube about this already....maybe its been attempted several times, who better to take it to then than the news? i dno, i honestly think someone needs to do this documenting from start to finish how these evil fascists bastards are exploting the common people.

 

Do not provide your personal information to any suspicious offers.. as minimum, you will open yourself to a scam fishing messages over e-mail, SMS and phone; more... you will be charged for nothing.

 

You can use google to make money yourself. You dont need these scams. I bout a domain name for about 6 dollers. Set it up as a cash parking site with google ads and made my money back 2 days later. I dont even advertise thie site yet so dont even know how someone found it and click on ads. just go straight to the source GOOGLE!
You can make money with google but you have to teach yourself to do it its time consuming and work,but thats why it pays off because you put little effort into it.

 

This Mary & Kevin Steadman R from many states on many websites. I almost signed up b/c 1 website said they were from my small hometown. After researching, I have found they R from many different states. Scam, Scam Scam!

 

I admit, I fell for it, and didn't read the fine print about the monthly charges. I got the CD and it didn't even work!! Then came the charges on my bank statement. Needless to say I was pissed. They were charging me 2 different charges. One for 29.95 and another for 39.95, by two separate companies that were affiliated together and had nothing to do with Google! After about a month and a half of calling them, I got my money back from them. If you have done the same as I have, You can get your money back. It just takes alot of persistence. And take notes, write down the name of the person you talk to each and every time. The date you called,and the date they promise you will get your money back. Cuz they don't give it up easily. This is a bunch of BS, it is definitely a SCAM. If you get took like I did, You can go to your bank and they will be able to get the companies telephone number for you. So you can start to get your money back.

 

The fine print is actual evil. I cannot that they are ussing the laziness of people to their advantage. I used to never read the terms and conditions before and since i have learnt about all the varous scams on the internet I read them frequently, sometimes just for fun to warn other people of the scam. If you called to cancle in the first 24 hours it is easy to get your money back but anything after that they hit tiwht the terms and conditions. Absolutely terrible.

Google cash exposed

Increase your website traffic

 

Ms. Steadman lives in Huntington Beach too!!. Nice tan even.

 

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SACAM JOB! CAN I MAKE MYSELF ANYMORE CLEARER! READ THE TERMS AND AGREEMENT FINE PRINT AND YOU'LL BE CHARGED $49 - $70 MONTHLY FROM YOUR CREDIT CARD. DON'T DO IT PEOPLE, UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY TO BURN.

 

Someone told me I could make thousands each week posting stuff on Google! is this true? if so, i'm quitting my job soon to live the easy life, pocketing internet cash!!!

 

People, People, People; Listen, obviously you must make yourselves aware that Scams exist and the old saying is true "If is seems too good to be true, It Is". See, it's not just us hard working individuals who are looking for ways to make extra money. Hey, Scammers are hard at work too, and don't underestimate them. They are good at what they do. So you must be good at protecting your money and identity. How do you know that they aren't making a double profit, by ohhh say perhaps, selling your information? They probably are, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that some people who fell for this scam also had their personal Identity information breached. Hmm Be Safe Not Sorry!

I, a CPA, too got suckered into this, but was VERY LUCKY to have found this site and others like it.

I cancelled my card and cancelled before the trial period was up.

I then received a phone call from a friendly sounding woman at 866-311-7023; she said I wouldn't be charged. When I called this number back, a foreign sounding man answered and when I complained about their devious practices, he laughed and told me that "you Americans are so stupid and think you can get something for nothing". He then told me that my personal financial and identifying information was being sold to a group in NORTH KOREA!!! When I began to curse him out, he laughed as loud as possible and hung up.

So the true purpose of these scams is to get information for ID theft from U.S. Citizens and sell it to NORTH KOREAN criminal organizations.

Yes I guess we are pretty stupid…

 

I fell for this too!. Only the info I got said to get both kits because it would work better. So I paid $1.95 for 1 and $2.95 for the other...Then I pulled up my bank account online and see a charge for $81.32..I called and they said I didn't cancel in the 7 day tril period and that is the monthly charge!!! WOW..THEN I got to thinking I better call the other company, so I called them to cancel before I was hit with any more charges and that damn company had me tied to TWO other companies, so all three companies + the other company would have hit me every month with fees totalling about $160 bucks a month...When I called the first time to demand a refund they were all nothing but rude!! The second time I called them back the guy pretended to transfer me to a supervisor and I got hung up on. So, I called right back and informed that person that he better not hang up on me like his coworker did..He transferred me to someone named Jennifer who was just as rude as the other guy and eventually she hung up on me as well..So I called back, and told the next guy everything that happened..He was somewhat nice and explained that they are just the 3rd party company that bills and that I really need to contact the actual company itself...So in the mean time the charge on my bank account was just stitting in memo, it hadn't actually went thru as a transaction..SO I CANCELLED MY CARD....I did that on Thursday, pulled up my account on Friday and it was still sitting as a memo...So I just pulled it up this morning (Monday) expecting to see that it went thru but it DID NOT and it is gone from the memo item...I think because I cancelled my card and when it tried to go thru as a real transaction it saw my card was cancelled!!!! THANK GOD...because they were not giving me a refund..This is such a scam and the government needs to go after these people legally because it's ridiculous!!!

 

Never underestimate the desperation of people trying to make ends meet! Those of you that did this I've had a similar experience in the past and if you gave your information you need to immediately cancel the card which you provided. They will continue to charge you every month and you will NEVER be able to speak to anyone to rectify the charges...Unfortunately for those that used a debit card and not a credit card cancelling the card will adversly affect your credit score.

 

Sorry that's a credit vs a debit card (got them mixed up above)... Anyone that's in this mess I'm so sorry but get yourself out of it right away the money adds up quick and I know you can't afford to lose any more. Like the posters above stated...it's just never going to come without work or easy... and if someone found a way to make loot like this on the internet you know darned well they'd keep that secret under their pillow each night.

 

As so many of you have posted previously, there are hundreds of "SCAMS" out there and they make them all sound like a scrumptious, decadent dessert. But you really need to ask yourself the FIRST and FOREMOST question before you ever order anything off the internet. DID I READ THE TERMS & CONDITIONS. NEVER, EVER order anything without reading that FIRST. I always even print it off and label it for future use. That is the one place you will find most if not all of your hidden costs. And one more important thing to do is, if there is a phone number to call and cancel, CALL THAT NUMBER FIRST, see if you can even get through and ask them what part in the system they are affilliated with. Get a name and location as well. If you do decide to order, you know before hand what; who and where you are dealing with. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS FREE, we have been told this over and over. So, if it sounds to good to be true, please know, it more then likely is a SCAM. No one these days can afford to be taken advantage of financially, or emotionally. Oh, and if anyone does find a "LEGITIMATE" online business, let us all know so we can check it out too. Have a great day all!.

 

i almost suckered for this too but didn't give credit card # anytime u c a charge to get a job its a scam. nobody pays to work u get paid to work. here's the real clincher if u offer to pay cash or by check u have control but once u give them your credit card they got u and will charge that card till it is cancelled u can call ur credit card company but they wont reverse the charges even if it is a scam. i bought a computer off of an ebay site once. when it got here it wasnt what it was suppost to be they said send it back and we will fix but make sure u insure i did and once they got it back they dropped the computer so now the postoffice was on the hook to replace not the company i purchased it from now i had purchased a 800/computer they sent me a 400 computer and after about 6 mths the postoffice pd the ins for 800 bucks. these guys r all crooks and know every angle to get money. they dont just operate on the internet either newspaper word of mouth even sadly friends. we r all in terrible financial shape looking in all the places we can to make ends meet, and these crooks prey off of everyone desperate enough to take a chance. people i tell u this invest in yourselves find something u like doing and make it into a business focus on your god given talents and quit trying to find a get rich/by scheme that will fill up your empty days.

 

this is a total scam, scam meaning you wont make anything and it will end up costing you. read the fine print, they charge you 77 dollars a month. if this was legit they wouldnt bury that info

 

Guys, please don't trust this. I fell into this pit and realized after seeing this forum. Cancelled the subscription immediately after 1 hour of ordering. I did not stop - I even went to the bank and reported the Scam event and secured my Credit Card. These guys are total f#$%kers...

 

This a complete Scam, i signed up and at the end it said i will receive a confirmation email which never arrived but did receive a phone call 3 days later and several telemarketing calls after that. My solution was to call my credit card company and claim my credit card was stolen and that was the end of it.

 

this is a scam pure and simple, there is no such thing as money for nothing, and if there was such a thing as google or any other company promoting a system where us "Average Joe" was to advertise there sites they would not be soo widely spread across the internet, there are however similar online job but most of them are near the same to a normal IT job where a person is to sit in an office at Google or any other company and advertise via the internet, i know this for a fact because i have a family member who previously worked at google advertising the site they feture in there links.

when i first came across this i thought nothing of it and closed the window down straight away thinking it was a random pop up of a site i was on, then i was bored one day and it poped up so i decided to read the page, if you notice on the comments they are written in full english with perfect punctuation and grammer, yes many people do write like that but nine out of ten people on the internet DO NOT use proper english,

This lead me to do a little investigation and assesment of the site myself, i decided to see where the links took me, all to the same page and on there any person that spent any amount of time on a genuine web site would realise that the site was not made by a profetional, the site is very basic and does not give you any infomation on what they are apprently offering to you, so i kept on reading and i went thought the Terms and conditions which was oviously copyied from another site, and the BIGGEST give away was right at the bottem in the fine print and i quote directly from the site

"Copyright © 2006-2007 Google Pay Day!™ - All Rights Reserved.You must be 18 years old or older to order.
Google does not sponsor, endorse, and is no way affiliated with Google Pay Day!™ or this promotion."

this is a poorly put together scam and relise on the people being lead by greed, NOTHING IS FREE

 

does anyone know how to cancel it from the uk

 

DAMN THESE STEADMANS ARE RICHHHHHHHHH; THEY LIVE IN ALL 50 STATES, NOW IN WEST PALM BCH. FL.
WHAT GREAT PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have to tell you the past two weeks has been an education I will never forget dealing with Google..After ordering this CD for a 1.97 shipping I got calls from this Google group saying hey we have affiliate programs and if you don't want to be a part of them just cancle after the trial period. I was like ok and waited for the disk. A week went by and no disk. I went online to check my bank for shopping for the week and "Freaked OUT".. what happened to the trial period..they took the cash out right away.. and sold my credit card number to 10 different companies. They took their money out too and I had no clue who they were. The charges went from 1.97 up to 150.00 and were for AAA in Europe.. and some support the troops fun pass and some money market group out of EUROPE.. even charged me for taking money out of my account from EUROPE.. it was nuts. I called all the numbers on my account they all said I signed up for their programs that I went to their sites.. I was like NOOOOO I didnt.. we had to wait for all of them to clear my account.. then the bank cancled the card and we are now in a fight to cancle these transactions. The bank credited the money back but we have to fight to keep it. I have called google.. they said no they didn't sell my card that it was a lagitimate deal and that someone stole their name... OH BULL PUCKY... they gave my card number away. I only registered with them its THIER fault no two ways about it. My atterney said the same thing. What is scary is they linked this to MSNBC.. and the Today show and made it look very interesting to look at. Hey for 1.97 what do you have to loose...(your whole bank account)... The call I got from Google today was a riot.. they tried to explain to me how they didn't do what they did.. they promised me 5,000 to 10,000 a month and were going to get me a babysitter to help me along the way if I only give them a second chance.. The only chance they will get is to defend themselves in a court of law and explain how my credit card number ended up in Europe!

Can someone explain to me whether or not Google ATM is a scam?

 

hey im not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, i wasnt going to read every post. but i was highly intrigued by this google money system, it seemed legit. if i had a credit card a month ago i would have gotten it already.. i started looking into it again, and i tried to go back to some of the same websites i went to the first time (i put them in my favorites), and they dont even exist anymore. these websites must be getting shut down and they keep makin new ones. dont fall for this shit. many thanks to this post for truly showin me whats up

 

so my wife and i decided we would give google money a try. we signed up and we were charged the $1.87 charge. when google called us to varify the card info (within the 7 day trial) i told them that i would not give them the 3 digit code on the back of my card. and that i would like them to cancel the account because it wasnt for us. he said ok. I never received a con.# now nearly 2 months later we were charged $74.00 for it. when i called customer service (in india!!) they just told me they will not refund the money. i asked to talk to a manager and they said there was none. after a few min of arguing with her (no cussing involved) she hung up on me. I called back went through the whole thing again they kept asking for a conformation # i kept telling them i didnt have one. when i asked for a manager they told me that he or she was the only person that could help me. at that point all i would say is let me talk to a manager over and over. finely he said hold please. when the person answered the phone i asked if she was a manager. she said "WE DONT GIVE REFUNDS!!!" and hung up. they still have not resolved the issue. do not go with them. you will regret it!!!!

 

I remember signing up for this Google tool kit and I seeing the bill on my credit card, but not receiving the product. It didn't take to cancel the service, but not to receive what was promise is fraud advertising. But you move on with experience.

 

I saw this gogglemoney thing for the first time through an advertisement on WinAmp. I searched the name and found this forum. It would appear from all the discontent that in this economy more and more people are trying to rip off those who are in dire straights looking for a way out. As others have stated "buyer beware". The T.V. and Internet are full of people trying to take you from bad to worse by saying you can make loads of money. And yes , you will always get a person outside the U.S. when you call customer service. These lines are set up so that they can not be traced to the actual person running the scam. I know times are tough people but please do your home work before you jump at a "get rick fast" scam. I just can't understand why Goggle would put profits over rip offs by letting these scumbags use their names to scam people. Most people with any conscience at all would step up and do the right thing. Just watch your backs and your money people please.

 

I have read through all of this comments on this page and want to attest to it that that Google Kit package is a SCAM! I have been involved in many and have seen the ones that are real and fake.

Here are the ones that have been paying my bills ever since I joined...

Goodluck!

 

This is horrible.. I signed up for this and this is what happens next!? I completely deleted my account for the Google adsense? and it said something transaction will be canceled? Is that true? Well I hope it is.. I only was on that thing for barely 11 hours. Heh being scammed.. I feel downright stupid. Being as an 18 myself. I hope they wont take money out of my card! How do you cancel the order!? Or at least how do you cancel the order on your card? Do you have to cancel your card in order to not have $70-$90 taken monthly off? Please someone help I'm scared of my working money being takened away.. :[ please give me step by step answers

 

does anyone know the phone number to the scam. I would like to stop getting charges on my credit card.

 

I saw an add to make money with google money just send $1.95 for shipping and handling. When I used my car they charge $3.95. I should have known then that something was up. I got on the site twice but everything said you need this system and it will cost this much$$$ I never returned to the site. Now I am receiving charges on my account. One for $84.79 and not even a week later $49.86. It does not come up as google it comes up as Nutra pure. I did not authorize these transaction and the guy on the phone says that because I have used the disc they can't refund my money. I never read this information when I was on the site. If I had I would never had applied. This is a very misleading ad and you will probably never see that money if you do try it out.

 

Not everyone who wants to or has tried this site is lazy. I am a single parent of four. I was working at a school making less than minimum wage and thought a little extra cash would help. Here is a number that my bank gave me to the company that is deducting 1(877)444-1211. Word of warning they will not do anything, but you can have it canceled. Make sure you get a confirmation number. Oh and I did try and check out this site but could not find anything negative about it till now.

 

Why does Foxnews.com have this on their website if it is a scam. Not saying it isn't cause I honestly don't know. But you would think Fox would want to save face and not advertise anything that would cause them embarrassment.

 

umm i used a prepaid card for this google crap. so i don't care about 1.95. word of advice never use a normal debit card or credit card for anything your unsure about. use a prepaid card and load it with just the upfront cost that way if it's not real, you can cancel it. like i'm going to do right now!!!

People, you should learn the facts, yes there are scammers, but Google Adsense is run by Google themselves and it is a way to make legitimate income online. The problem is, you are not a WEB PUBLISHER, you don't know how to use the program. Want to make money online like I have since '04? Then learn how to blog and get some basics on HTML. (free at webmonkey.com) then join Adsense (free) or buy my e-book ($37.00) and you will make money, forget the scammers, don't give them your card. Ours at Google-Moneymaker.com is protected by PayPal and it's a ONE TIME CHARGE for valuable info.~Good luck. Bob

 

when google sue these people i want my money back

 

I just looked into this after being laid off from work and finding a posting for a job on careerbuilder.com when clicking apply it took me directly to this http://nygazette.net/L/1/?sub=5 url. ahytime someone has to post an artificial newsletter page online bosting of their pay out as apposed to what the company actually does can't be good. The majority turn around and try to convince you to do the same job they are doing, which is convincing other to make the same investment. This is called a pyramid scheme and is illegal. No products or services are rendered, simply a chain of unending request for investment without a true customer. if someone finds my statements to be incorrect and are serious enough to contact me I hope to be proven wrong. I'm a well educated sales professional seeking a true marketing idea to run my own business from the internet or elsewhere. Good luck to all seeking the same.

 

Apparently it is growing. I just got this email twice in a row (exactly word for word) from fake google mail addresses!

 

I came upon a site the other with the name Robert Paulson saying he was laid off from his job and came uopn this easy way to make money from google so I ordered the "google fortune kit" for $1.97 within the next day I had random people from a 1800 number calling me asking me to purchase the "google itm" or something along those lines. Long story short I cancelled my credit card and learned my lesson.

 

I have been interested in making money online over the past few years, but have never signed up for any of them because I have always found out before going in too far that they have all been scams! Count your blessings if havn't gotten taken for a lot of money!

 

This is totally a scam. I was just ripped off by these people. I had cancelled within the amount of time and of course they don't have any record of it so I was still being charged this month. This is such b**lsh**! Nobody should ever believe these scammers!

 

i talked to a rep and told them i was interested but they didnt accecpt my devit card {now i know why} but i told the rep i didnt want it ,the next month i had 2 charges on my card from 2 differnt places i had to call the bank to get the number for the place they told me i had to call this other number to cancel so im out about 50 bucks for nothing

 

What I want to know is why does Google allow these people to miss represent who they are by leting people believe that they are Google untill they get your credit card info. Then they tell you after they got info. and your money that they are not affiliated. I feel like such a sucker. Needless to say when Google does something legit I probably wont believe it. Had to cancel credit card of 10 yrs. sucks and hate these scammers. The only way to stop these thieves is to cancel credit card. By the way you can link post by useing adverse gadgets in bloggers don't be fooled like me. Please people don't become like these evil people. It's wrong to make money this way. If you want to get these people back watch utube google scam videos. Ha Ha you'll luv it.

 

Google dollars scam http://www.yourblogprofits.com/c2/index.php

claims you get it all now for 2.99 after filling out the info and clicking purchase a page comes up saying transaction not authorized card number perimaters error. so I thouht owell.
then 1 week later they called me with info I stated i was not interested, they called againand i said do not call me anymorefor the next month they called me everyday.

then month and a half and bam my card was charged 74.96. I went to my bank BOA and they filed a transaction dispute and the next morning $74.96 was credited back to my account.

People they can charge your card and if you dont dispute it your loss.

disput the charge and you will be refunded so what is all the fuss.

 

No wonder I could not find her in Fairhope,AL (were I live) Guys I was almost pulled in thanks for all your entries....

 

Thanks for all the Information about Google Money,I was thinking to order the info kit,
yor Blog saved me a lot of money

tanks again

 

I ordered google money making from online and a month later, charges from several different companies were charging fro products and services that I have never used. It's all big scam!!! google better check into this before it ruins their good name.

 

I was conned into this scam also, except lucky for myself I had issues logging into their 'membership site' and because I live in new zealand I looked all over the net for some form of contact (as I couldnt afford to ring them!From what I was reading of the negative feedbacks no one was getting through to the phone service) and finally found one on a complaints site. so if anyone wants the email then let me know...I found something way better anyway its not a get rich quick scam but its for hard working people using online tools plenty of 1 on 1 help absolutely love it. email me at aishai.b@xtra.co.nz if you would like more info.... but for those considering buying the scams DONT DO IT!
Or you get charged up to 60 bucks without your consent!

 

I got caught up in a similar scam,not this particular one but one of those 'free trials' that are so common.Anyhow,I got sus pretty early on and tried to cancel my subscription.Impossible!They continued to charge my credit card.I called the credit card company and I was told not to cancel my card,but to write to the charges back dept.They dealt with it pretty well and they reimbursed me what was charged after my initial cancellation.

 

see people still trying such website to scam

http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/496184.html

 

THIS IS A BIG SCAM!! buyer be ware.. cancel/close your credit card and have the bank issue you a new number and that will stop them from taking $78.55 A MONTH THAT YOU DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR

 

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS LIKE ME :( COMPLETELY MISLEADING AND UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTION MADE. FIRSTLY THEY DONT SEND ANY AGREE LETTER TO SIGN FOR THE BLOODY THING. SO HOW CAN THEY GET CONSENT FROM OUR CC FOR THE TRANSACTION WITHOUT THE SIGNATURE! NO LUCK IN FINDING DETAILS OF GETTING MY REFUND FOR THE SERVICE I NEVER KNEW OF.

 

I'm so disappointed in this Google Kit. I was told that all I have to do is take a survey, but you know what? I was never able to connect to the site or get my account set up. I was told that I need a confirmation # to disconnect from the system, but how the F**K do I do that when I can't even get into the account. It's unfortunate that I fell for this scam, but I swear I will NEVER again try anything from Google. I might as well delete my Gmail Account!!

 

I'm seriously begging you people out there NOT to try this S**T! It DOES NOT work at all. You will NOT even be able to get an account set up and most importantly, you will be charged over $69 a month for no reason whatsoever. Be smart and save yourself the headache.

 

You Have to WORK your ass of to make the money.
You have to build a website and get a lot of traffic on your website to make money.

 

I to ordered Google money kit online which came over from Facebook on several occasions. As you do, you think Hmmm sounds interesting i was prompted to pay a small fee of £1.99. I did not receive the kit and have been subsequently charged by PWW*Google ATM for £42.66 on 05/08/2009 I contacted Google and explained i'm being charged for a service that i am not using and therefore wish to cancel they advised me to go back to Adsense and cancell through Google email. Upon checking my account tonight i notice i have been charged again by PWW*Internet Biz K for £44.01 who seem to be a different/alias company. Obviously i'm not happy and its definiately a lesson to be learnt. I contacted my bank and was told that they could not refund the money because the company had my card details. The only way to stop this is by cancelling the Debit card and shutting down my Bank account THIS IS BIG TIME FRAUD from an unknown cyber criminal. Google know who they are and are making money from it by sharing your card details. I CURSE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO TAKE GREAT JOY OUT OF SCAMMING HARD WORKING PEOPLE. MAY THEY SUFFER FATALIES WITH THE MONEY THEY'VE ROBBED FROM ME AND OTHERS.

Google know who they are and are making money from it by sharing your card details. I CURSE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO TAKE GREAT JOY OUT OF SCAMMING HARD WORKING PEOPLE. MAY THEY SUFFER FATALIES WITH THE MONEY THEY'VE ROBBED FROM ME AND OTHERS.

 

is the google money system the same as google secrets research? if so i think i've been scamed I went to cancel my 7 day trial an they do not have any information in their system!! i'm sure to be charged 79.9. plz help!!

 

I have seen the same ads being posted about The Google Fortune Kit and Biz Kit. The last one points to a website called " The New York Gazzette News" (http://www.newyorkgazettenews.com/default.aspx?l=0&aid=7435218&KW=Ad12) site advertise that the program has been seen on ABC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, USA Today, and MSNBC. I look at each of the place that they claimed to have been seen on featured on. Each of these sites have no information on them about this, article even searching their archives turns no results. It's disturbing that a company or individuals would even keep trying scam individuals out of their hard earned money or what little money we have now a days with current economics crisis issues going on, but unfortunately that is apart of our current society where individuals try con and coheres us out of money to make a profit. It all boils down to greed.

 

This business was authorized to charge 1.95 ONLY on 9/8/09. There was not apparent disclosure of ANY further charges. Since I knew this may not be a reputable firm, I created what's called a ShopSafe card with a LIMIT of $5.00 through my bank to avoid any charge over the 5.00 limit.

On 09/13/09 I received a call from my bank's FRAUD department to advise this company was in fact attempting to charge 79.90 to the card with the 5$ limit. Of course, I advised NO AUTHORIZATION for any further charges by this company.

I contacted the number listed on the site and received a recording to call back during normal business hours which I intend to do. I also emailed them from the their site. It is my opinion that THIS IS A SCAM and many others have posted the same complaint. My bank has 'flagged' the company .

Here is the address for the business though I cannot verify it's a good one: 230 W 400S - Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. The number I have is: 1800-4974988 Hours: M-F 7am-6pm PDT

 

After doing some investigating of my own I have to agree that this is seriously a scam. As the old saying goes "If it's too good to be true it is" The only advice I can give anyone would be theres really no easy way to make money period. Some can disagree but if it was so easy to make the money you wanna make, everyone would be. but I have to believe that the way they make there money is by selling the same scam to somebody else. They claim it's not a pyramid scam but it surely sounds like it. The phrase "they don't make money if ya don't make money" well hello wake up it's a pyramid scheme. So again my advice. Just go to school, learn something, wanna be your own boss? get a busniess managment degree, get a idea, get a loan, open a business, work hard, get paid. Life is not easy, and making money is not easy, it it was so easy we wouldn't be here chatting about this

 

Yeah it was definately a scam. I just got a 300 dollar bill to my credit card! does anyone know the email of the company.

 

I was sucked in too but my card was declined THANK GOD!! I called the 800 number and they said they weren't doing customer service for google ad kit but that she couldn't find any record of my account and so I didn't have to worry...well I worried anyway so I called my credit card company so that they would at least have record of the fact that I may be scammed in the future by these people. She said because it was declined for over the credit line reasons (I had $10 on my account the last time I had checked so I didn't know it would be declined because I was maxed out from credit insurance) that they would probably not bother with me because they can't get any significant amount of money from me. The credit card rep also gave me the merchants last 6 digits and the declined code as well as the time and date of the decline so that I would also have that for my records.

It really sucks that in these hard times when people are really just trying to find a way to make even a small amount of money (because lets face it even $10 is better than having $0!!) that there are scams like this! I'm just trying to make it work as a stay at home mom and help out my partner who works his arse off at work everyday to support our family!

So how can you really make a little extra cash on the internet?

 

Hi folks, I too saw a lot of the email post and advertisement on this and all I did was call google directly and the receptionist just told me the truth. She just flat out told me that this is a scam

 

Please DO NOT click on any of the links in this forum...They are all scams....

 

Stay away from the Search Profit System. This too is another Google money scam. They charge your credit card $1.95 to for the so-called kit and then recharge your chard another $49.99 per month without your knowledge. And wrost of all, the entire system is not even worth the $1.95 that you paid to get the kit. These people are total are crooks. The info is poorly written and totally worthless. Don't wast your money on it. Stay far away from this scan website.

 

they are actually calling u now, from 1-435-627-7550 and his name was mark parker, and it was the google make money at home, he said i filled out an application and i know i didnt. he gave a return number 1-800-903-1327, is this the number any one else got? i didnt fall for it, i used common sense but hell how did they get my email and phone number and address?

 

the are even calling you at home now, they said i filled out an application and i know i didn't. they had my address, phone number and email address. i dont know how they got it, but this foreign sounding guy called me and said his name was mark parker, i know that was no way his real name, he called from 1-435-627-7550. i didnt fall for it, it was the same scam that everyone on here is talking about, i didnt give him anything he wanted because i used common sense, but he gave me a call back number, 1-800 number. i would love to know how they got my info!

 

I have looked at a lot of so called systems that appear "too good to be true" and then I remember two things that my dad would say: "If it sounds too good to be true, then It's probably "NOT" true"! "You won't get something for nothing"! So, when I see these advertisements, I consider what he always said.

In my opinion, the only way to make an honest dollar on the internet is to sell a needed product. This is why I created my own website, to sell valuable informational cds. There are no scams connected to my site, you simply purchase products that will help to improve your life and that's it! On one of these cds there are sixteen different e-books, some of which tell how to make money. If you are interested, checkout my website Http://pbmlwebster.tripod.com/

 

so check this out this google money system kit is not made by google at all instead a company named eMillionaire is actually incharge of this product and its activity its is a scam to a point but as long as your willing to pay there monthly service fee you COULD!! be makin a s&%t load of money but as soon as you stop paying them well you mind as well bend over and spread your cheeks i think you get the rest

 

I'm so glad i did'nt put in my card details!! Everything sounds so gud to be true. I thought to myself its only £1.95 i spend more than that on sweets, but so glad read T&C's then found this site..

 

Im afraid I got dinged by this one too. However I was lucky enough to figure it out and get my money back. It's not only these Google kits though, there are eBay kits and even the same scheme being done by vitamin and supplement companies offering a "free trial - just pay shipping". You can see a few more of these same schemes in different packaging here : http://www.business-opportunities-reviewed.com/the-google-kit-and-other-kits-marketing-scam

 

I looked into a couple of these websites and after reading their stories they do sound real, until you read in the fine print that thae stories are not real but are similar of actual ones. So why don't they print the actual ones

 

Just a warning that they are now attacking Craigslist! Oh, poor, poor me for HAVING to sell my son's sandals. They know the heartache I am going through HAVING to sell his sandals! Give me a break! Oh, and if I want to make money so I don't have to sell his sandals here is the link to do that...with the "Google Kit"! UGH!!!!!

 

This is a SCAM and they steel money out of your account!! I paid the $1.99, for the cd, the first time I ever purchased over the internet, sounded good, ha to my surprize. Well got the CD found that it wanted me to create a company just so I could post stuff on e-bay, then 7 months later I had a funny feeling about my bank account so I checked into my charges and found almost $1,000 taken out of my account over a 7mth period all due to signing up for this google money making SCAM! DON'T be a fool like me and loose all your hard earned money to GOOGLE SCAMS!! Unfortunately I was stupid and did not pay close attention to my bank statements, otherwise I would not have lost $1,000 over 7 months from the theifs that stole my money from Google $1.99 costed me $1,001.99 BEWARE! I am going to contact the authorities to see what I can do to get my money back but I think it's too late.

 

hello all i need some help i am on of the sorry saps that just got conned out of money i just did it today and i need to know how to un subscribe due to the fact that i can't pay all thous fees if any one can help me plz email me all help is appreciated. to thing i thought i was just getting the kit to try it out.

 

I too was scammed. I recently finished a project and am out of work. After doing some research and going to amalifestyle.com, I thought this was for real. As I delved into this further, I realized that everywhere I went more money was going to be charged to my card. I simply cannot afford this. Fortunately7 when I applied for "OnlineCashSuccessKit" I printed the page. It showed the 2 toll free numbers to call and cancel, 1) for $79.86mo 866-481-8192, 2) for $24.82 866-387-0927. Rest assured that I will check my statement to verify that the cancellations stuck and that I did not receive any additional charges.
Hope this information helps

I didn't even sign up for this and I've been charged. When I called the company and asked them to reverse the charges they refused. I insisted and said I thought it was fraud. Then I was told that accusing them of fraud is in fact fraud, and that I can go to jail for that!!! I was SO mad!!!
