Easy Google Profit Scam, Google Biz Kit / Treasure Chest / Money Tree Scams

The proliferation of scams on the web annoyed me so much, that I put together a list of scam-checking addresses for everyone to use. It’s free, it’s fast, and it’s fun! (Be warned, though – Squidoo is strangely addictive!).

@gregw2 There is a new work at home scam using a fake CNN news website:

These outfits are based in Las Vegas,the town built for suckers,run by the worlds greatist Con-artest. Next time you want some easy money try the Crap table,if you happen to win,pick up your chips, smile, and walk away……

Hey Stacy, there has already been a lawsuit against these guys and quite a few other related sites… it’s just a matter of time before new ones pop back up on the internet though.

You can see one of the lawsuits at http://abcnews.go.com/Business/google-sues-stop-work-home-scams/story?id=9279817

I got scammed by “My home kit” which sives people a way to earn hundreds of dollars a day by posting links on the internet. They ask for 2.95$ the first day then after a couple of days they charge 79$. I was lucky to get out within a couple hours of the incident by closing my card by phone with my bank. They have several addreses in Las Vegas and their contact information is fake. Here is a phone number that called me. 407-404-6804. I believed I recieved from them. The line was silent and the only thing I heard was an eerie female voice saying goodbye!. I tried calling back to unsuscribe from their offer and get my 2.95$ back but with scammers their phone network is “down”

Bill Jr,The most important consideration, in my opinion, is to have your surgery performed at a center of excellence where theres a team that does this procedure often (weekly, at least). This means that they will have had a chance to perfect their craft, and will understand how to approach complications, should they arise.

@Daniel White,
Not true. These systems are created by marketers and sales people that know how to push the right triggers to get people to buy into them. Sure, most realize that they have been had after a very short while but it is already too late they have given out their financial information, email, and have little recourse for a refund, except to file a chargeback through their credit card company.

It would be nice if it was so easy for everyone to detect these scams. That could be a great plugin for web browsers and search engines. Someone could make a lot of money from that little piece of software, if they developed it.

A program that gave a fraud alert based on information gathered from the BBB, and reputable complaint sites. Of course there are legitimate businesses and offers online and offline that get complaints so the software or alert system would have to be sensitized to rule these out.
Just a thought.

Getting back to your remark Daniel:

Many of the people that get caught by these scams are unemployed, retired, or trying to supplement their incomes. And most are not aware of the deceitful websites and blogs that are perpetuating these felonious crimes. The only people that are aware are Internet savvy, so, to just say that people are lazy is pretty lame, asinine, pathetic, and very ignorant on your part.

It’s easy to avoid scams if you are very careful in doing research before spending money on a program.
