These ads keep popping up and the sites and names keep changing to stay one step ahead of being exposed.  Today it’s a blog called and a fake guy named Justin Crawford on the site.  Tomorrow it will be someone different and a different URL too.

Some of it is from people who have been scammed already, but mostly from people who sense that what is being offered is just too good to be true.

That should be Internet Scam tipoff #1.  It’s TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.   Millions of dollars!  Yours for the taking!  Only $1 for a FREE KIT to quit your job!

Nothing in life is free, and if a deal appears to be too good to be true, it is too good to be true.  Note that I didn’t say, it *might* be too good to be true.   There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule unfortunately.  At least I’ve certainly never found one.

In this case, that $1 comes with the following Fine Print:

After your 7-day trial period it’s just $29.95 per month for Earn Google Cash. Remember, you can chat with live operator by calling (866)341-7163 within the first 7 days to cancel, and you will not be charged. To ensure continuous service, at the end of your trial period your membership will be automatically charged each month at the then-current membership fee on or about that same date to the credit card you provide today. If for any reason you are dissatisfied, chat with a live operator, and you’ll no longer be charged. You have also unlocked a fourteen-day trial and twenty one-day trial to the Fraud Protection Resource Center and Identity Theft Protection for just $4.95 and $9.95 a month thereafter (shows as “FraudProtection” and “IdentitySecurity”) should you choose not to cancel. Prior charges for bonus are non-refundable and a monthly $1 transaction fee applies to each but subscription can be cancelled and future charges stopped at any time by calling toll-free 1-866-387-2521 and 1-866-342-2994.

That’s three different “programs” you just paid $1 for.  After 7 days, they hit you for $30.  7 days later, $10.  7 days later $5.  Plus $1 each in “Transaction Fees”  Rinse, lather, repeat.  That’s $49 a month from three different programs with three different cancellation phone numbers.  All for an eBook on how to use Google Adwords to make money that really costs $67 ONCE.

Why do the charges step down every 7 days  They’re hoping that at a certain level, you’ll either not notice or not care enough.  For most people, getting a $4.95 recurring charge on their credit card isn’t worth spending three hours on the phone trying to convince a professional Internet Huckster to cancel the charges and they’re counting on that.   Get a couple thousand people to fall for it and not bother to cancel and that’s a pretty big chunk of change for the operator of this “business opportunity”.

Remember, NEVER give your credit card number out for anything without reading the fine print about reoccurring charges.

In this case, you’ll never see that first $45 again or the second $45, even if you dispute the charges with the Credit Card company.  These Earn Google Cash scammers have upheld the current law in disclosing the “terms” of the offer very close to where you put in your credit card number and providing a working phone number with which to cancel and by stating there are no refunds after the monthly charge date.  Your credit card company is going to side with them unfortunately.

What do you get for $45 a month  Besides getting your mailing address, phone number, and email address on the list of every Internet scam artist out there, you’ll get a legitimate Clickbank eBook about how to earn money placing Ads on Google.
