Is Google Cash A Scam? Sean Kells
ReviewAroo.com You may have recently come across advertising on Facebook promoting a system known as Google Cash which claims that anyone can make great money working minutes a day from home using “Google”. I had seen the ads hundreds of times and, knowing what I know about making money online, Google Cash sounded like it just might be the grand-daddy stinker of all money making scams. So, I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat, grabbed my pipe and headed out into the darkness to investigate whether Google Cash was all it was cracked up to be or just the latest in online thievery…. Google Cash Blogs When you click on the Google Cash ad I just mentioned, you are taken to what appears to be someone’s personal blog style website which tells a typical rags-to-riches story about how our blogger friend was newly married, just lost his job and was down on his luck until he discovered Google Cash. The story is accompanied by a check for $5,000 and a claim that he makes “$5,000+ every month posting links on Google.”  Doesn’t Google Cash sound just a little too good to be true? That’s because, unfortunately, it is… These “make money with Google”/”Google Cash” websites are all complete scams. After giving you a sales pitch, they tell you to click to order our free “Google Starter Kit” ($1.95 for shipping) so that you too can make $5,000 a month “posting links on Google”. And to make matters worse, there are dozens of these blog sites out there, all using the photo of the exact same check right down to the date and check number. Even the comments at the end of the blog are the same! All that changes is the name and photo of the scam artist. When you click to order your Google Cash Starter Kit, you are taken to one of a few different scam sites advertising the “Google Money Tree“, “Google ATM“, “Google Money System“. Really, they are all just different names for the same Google Cash system. You then sign up and give your credit card number to pay for that $1.95 shipping charge. Here’s where the big rip-off comes in… It turns out that the offer is a 7 day “free trial”, a fact that is buried in the small print. After that, the program starts charging you over 70 bucks every month unless you cancel your membership! So, how do people make money with this system? By signing up with Google Cash, creating their own fake blog site and then recruiting more victims to sign up for the “free” Google Cash Kit. Each time someone gets sucked in, the scam recruiter gets to share in that $70 charge that the victim ends up getting on their credit card bill. Nice, huh? Now, in fairness to these guys, when you sign up for your Google Cash Kit, you DO receive some educational materials. However, the information really is substandard. (And let’s not forget the small fact that they used a scam blog to suck you into ordering the product in the first place.) I can’t say without absolute certainty, but I would venture to guess that almost no one using the Google Cash Kit is making any money whatsoever, other than the nice commission that they take from helping perpetrate the Google Cash Scam onto even more victims. If you want to see the Google Cash Scam in action, check out the video below. It’s got thousands of views so far and a lot of comments from people who’ve either fallen victim to the scam or who were prevented from ordering just in time. If you’d like to help get the word out so we can stop these guys from ripping off even more people, please share this with your Twitter followers, Or you can share on Facebook and other social networking sites.
