FINALLY! GOOGLE SUES MAKE MONEY WITH GOOGLE SCAM!
Make Money From Home with Google? Not so Fast, Warns BBB
11/2/2009
Better Business Bureau has received more than 1,500 complaints about several dozen Web sites that are trading on the Google name to scam people who want to learn about making money from home. Because the sites often use the Google name and prominently display its iconic logo, consumers often assume they are getting a job with Google when in fact they were getting taken in by yet another work-at-home scheme.
“Many families are looking for ways to earn extra money for the holidays and Web sites touting the huge money-making potential of working from home often seem like an answer to prayer,” said Alison Southwick, BBB spokesperson. “Unfortunately, most work-at-home opportunities don’t deliver on what they promise and victims find that instead of making a few extra dollars, they lose hundreds.”
Two Web sites, Google Treasure Chest and Google Money Tree, quickly racked up 523 and 782 BBB complaints respectively before being called out by the Federal Trade Commission and state Attorneys General for misleading consumers. The Web sites have been taken down, however, BBB has received complaints about many other work-at-home schemes using similar tactics, including Google Biz Kit, Google Cash, Google Money Profits, and Google Success Kit.
While the schemes go by many different names and are found on many different Web sites, the complaints to BBB tell a similar story. Complainants state that they signed up online to receive a free trial of a CD or access to information that would show them how to make money from home using Google. Consumers had to provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping — which is typically only a few dollars.
Complainants to BBB state that they were billed before their trial ended — or never even received the CD — and continued to be billed after they had cancelled their order. Complainants also found mystery charges from several other businesses for services they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their “free” trial. One Georgia complainant’s bank account was debited $433 by various entities including Grant Finder, Web Training, Powersale, Safelock, Google Chest, Search Chest, A1Member and Auctio
Any way this is what Google news had to say about this.
Google launches law suit after illegal ads use its brand name
According to a legal action filed in Utah this week, the schemes involve “thousands” of websites that claim to offer kits showing users how to make money by working from home on Google.
Although they are told they will have to pay only a nominal fee, “people who sign up for these offers have their credit cards charged with substantial recurring monthly fees” and receive little or nothing in return.
The case was brought against Pacific WebWorks and another 50 unnamed defendants who Google said had worked in concert with the company to carry out the scams, according to the Financial Times.
Fake news stories, blog comments and postings on social networking sites have been created to support the claims for the work-at-home kits.
Specifically, Google is targeting companies that are running ads with taglines like, "Use Google to Make 1000s of Dollars!" or "Easy Cash with Google: You Could be Making up to $978 a Day Working from Home!"
"Google hasn't created or endorsed any of the sites like those described in our complaints," Jason Morrison, a Google support engineer, and Stacey Wexler, senior litigation counsel, wrote in a blog post.
"Misleading ads try to take advantage of consumers in the midst of a difficult economy, and as the economic situation has worsened, the problem has only grown."
Google is taking steps to remove scam-related URLs from its index and permanently disable AdWords accounts that provide a poor or harmful user experience.
Google pointed to a few names from which consumers should shy away, including;
Google Adwork, Google ATM, Google Biz Kit, Google Cash, Earn Google Cash Kit, Google Fortune, Google Marketing Kit, Google Profits, The Home Business Kit for Google, Google StartUp Kit, and Google Works.
Thats why I say folks check these companies out before investing time and money.
