Google

Google has been dragged into the internet scam industry. A product called "Google Fast Cash" has been circulating the internet for months now but, it has no affiliation with Google.

Philadelphia City Post

There is a lengthy article reviewing Google Fast Cash by the Philadelphia City Post. Ironically enough there is no such newspaper in Philadelphia or anywhere else in the world.

MSNBC

The web page on the fake newspapers state "Google Fast Cash" and "Home Job Placement" have been featured on ABC, Forbes, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC, and USA Today. Searches at each of these news outlets has shown these programs have never been featured. Also the only search result was this link by CNN "Top 10 Scam Free Work At Home Jobs. Earn Good Money Working At Home Now" which says "SCAM" in the title!

For Your
Information

Testimonials

The testimonials listed on the fake newspaper websites that reviewed the program are also fake. Look at them. When was the last time you saw 30+ comments from users without one picture of the user? Also the testimonials are worse then the bogus one's you hear on bad infomercials.

No Fees?

The add offers a free trial offer for just a minimal postage cost ranging from $1.97 to $3.95. Well that's awesome, what can go wrong? To accept the trial offer you need to enter credit card information. Now they've got you. The free trial is 7 days. If you do not cancel within that window you will be charged a monthly fee until you do cancel. People are finding monthly charges ranging from $49.94 to $79.95!

Fraud

Fraud is a noun defined in the dictionary as "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit. Falsely stating their program has been featured by reputable news agencies such as CNN and MSNBC is deceitful. Posting the ads on fake newspaper websites is breach of confidence. Taking your money with hidden fee's means it's all done for profit. To bad, all the skill these scammers have could have made them rich with a legitimate business.

Shell Corporations?

People have reported while trying to cancel their unauthorized monthly subscriptions that the company name charging their card has changed. The "Google Fast Cash" company uses other companies to charge your card hoping you'll overlook the fee and continue to pay. Trying to find the real company is harder finding the Queen in a game of 3 card monte.

Pick Up The Phone!

No one answers the number listed. You call during the business hours and the answering machine just asks you to call back during business hours! Interestingly enough, if you look at your credit card statement after the monthly "Google Fast Cash" charge and try to contact the company listed it's the same answering machine.

This is a great posting! The whole google scam caught my eye so I had my brother take a look at it and he told me to stay away from it. More people should know about these scams, especially in this economy.
