    Lately, I noticed that this scam happen every where
    http://www.kevinsmoneytree.org/?from=300muDL

    http://www.nickgetsgreen.com/index.html?t202id=214719&t202kw=
    These sites are examples, the visitors were asked to purchase some shit like Google biz kit and marketing business kit with low price like 1-2 bucks, and after that, when people sign up and buy it, they were charged ridiculous amount of money. I checked many site like this, and they have ALMOST the same comments (smell something here?). And they use the same kind of technique: talking about easy money by posting link on Google(the fun thing is that some people actually believe in easy money)

    The thing is this, recently, I see this kind of scam almost everywhere, in yahoo mail ads, megaupload ads, and some websites that I visit regularly too.

    I don't know if I can do anything, but I really don't want to see these scammers stay alive any longer on other people hard earned money. If we can't put a stop to this, at least, warn other people, so that they don't fall for tricks like this. And, if they really fall for that: SERVE them well for being too stupid and greedy

    You can send some complaints to Google and other search engine and say it is scam, (do remember to provide some materials), then they would stop these guys accounts.:)

    It's a freeking scam business. I fell for it and i've been marketing for over 5 + years. I'm still pissed off at myself about buying into this. I paid the 1.95 and 2 weeks later i got a CD in the mail, bunch of crap on there that i already new. Wasn't what i thought i would be getting. I tryiED to cancel my account with googlekit but a month later i had a charge of $78 on my credit card. So my credit card company took care of that charge since i already tried to contact the support number from the google kit and ended up no where.

    The following month again a charge of $78 appeared on my credit card (2 months in a row) the credit card company flagged my account and said some charges on it was related to scam business. ( I just opened a new credit card account and have not been billed by the google kit anymore) Search google for feedback about this program and compare all the sales pages,stats... fake check's with names blurred out. All the peoples reviews are the same.. Please don't fall for this googlekit money scheme. There sales page is very convincing to all newbies but bite your tongue and leave that webiste. There are other ways to earn money online. Work hard and be patient, you will find a money maker sooner or later.

    This week, my credit card company is sending me a full summary of this year's charges and said for me to look closley to make sure anything else got charged on there that i did not purchase.

    getjimmy, thanks for posting that link. We all have to pay attention what we purchase online and how we use our credit cards cause everyone is out to make money by any mean's possible. I'm going email my blog members about this thread.

    Yep, these are what we would call flogs (fake blogs). It'll take a while before the FTC cracks down on them, but they certainly will sometime since it's becoming increasingly popular. A large % of the marketing done for diet offers is through flogs. Sorry to hear about your experience, be careful.

    Now I'm starting to see fake newspaper articles talking about these google kits. You all of a sudden come across and article from like the LA Times (a newspaper that doesnt exist) talking about how much money someone is making doing this and how everyone can do it.
