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.

FraudFraud 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.

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!
