Google crack down the work at home scam sites

    Google lastly file a complain against the defendant who are making fool people by using google brand name like google cash cow,Google Biz Kit, Google Cash, Earn Google Cash Kit, Google Fortune. They are just luring people by using google name and the poor victims think that all programs are affiliate with google. Google informed that they have got lots of complain from the victims and ask google for refund their money.

    So google finally informed all scammer to stop promoting their sites using google brand name. This is really not good way for earning money.

    I am happy they did it. Scam seem to be spreading like a virus over the internet these days. Thats mainly because there are not enough applicable laws.

    Thanks for your information though I have not met such things.
    I do think it would be helpful for those would-be victims. :)

    not only that, these bloody "google cash" sites result in a huge amount of MFA sites that pollute the search results.

    yes, several users posted about it last week with links to news articles about it.

    It's good that google are at lest taking action, but it has taken it's time over it.

    I am happy by seeing all your reaction on it. I already write one post on it on my blog. You know if you search on google as keyword "work at home" or "data entry" you will get all top result sites are scam. I am trying to beat them by working hard for my blog. I can not even understand why they are on top and why other work at home blogs can not beat them.

    The ideas of those kinds of scam would not limit for using Google name but also other popular names. Hope Google would include those scammers on the list of what they are filtering in the search result..

    I'm definitely glad these are being cut, I see so many of these popups that say "You can make $75/hr working for Google from home!!!!!1!!!!11!11!!" and it really pisses me off to no end. Even more so because I know people who don't understand internet marketing will fall for these popups and click on them or try and sign up, you know whatever these people do.

    The scammer just make a website by using very few bucks and post ad on free classified sites like

    " Available data entry, ad posting jobs worldwide. You can make daily $100 to $500, no previous experience, just knowledge of computer and internet required"

    They also employ people for promote the above byline via free classified sites and they get lots of response by this way. I was also a victim of such scams.

    The guy/s who planned this saw it coming, probably were ready to cut their losses and run after making some quick money.

    Google had to do it long time ago... I remember when sometimes I make a search and I get tens of ads talking about work at home, $1000 a day... (scams ofcourse), and I always say: why google allow them to promote their sites on its search results page ? Because they are paying to it ?
