Is Swipebids a scam?

by El Plumber (admin) on August 23, 2010

We’ve been assaulted lately for ads for “penny auctions” from all sides.  Seems like a new penny auction site is popping up every five minutes and some of them are being *VERY* heavily advertised on every website imaginable. Like the Home Income kits and Acai Berry free trial offers, penny auctions are the latest high [...]

Is DailyNews7.com and the Home Income System A Scam?

by El Plumber (admin) on May 6, 2010

Months after the famous FTC deadline for disclosure on affiliate web sites, the online money making scammers are back at it, this time more brazen than ever.  Now we have DailyNews7.com pushing something called the Home Income System, where for only $2.97 you too can become part of the American dream and work from home [...]

Google Profits Kit and Travis Made Cash Scam

by El Plumber (admin) on December 29, 2009

If you want the summary, yes, Travis did actually make cash.  But he did it by stealing from you.  And while you can work from home posting Google advertisements on the internet, you will get nothing but a giant headache and major screwing (and not the good kind) if you give these people your credit [...]

Every once in a while, someone with a misinformed opinion adds a comment to one of our Google Kit scam posts similar to the following.  This time it was courtesy of someone named “Jonathan” on our post about the Easy Google Profit scam: I think you guys are idiots, how can you guys not read [...]

We have a bunch of niche WordPress sites that target various semi-popular search engine keywords.  Some are newer and earn less than $20 a month, some are about a year and a half old and earn over $1000 a month, others fall somewhere in between. And on all of them we get complete junk comments [...]

Is The Online Hosting Network a Scam?

by El Plumber (admin) on October 19, 2009

We received this comment from Antony (who never leaves a website address in his comments or we’d link to him) on Why Your Amazon Affiliate Site Is Failing Miserably regarding a place called the OnlineHostingNetwork.com and a terrible Amazon affiliate store we stumbled across. Hey El Admin, You have just uncovered another scam. I wonder [...]

The Best Google Kit Scam Disclaimer

by El Plumber (admin) on October 16, 2009

[ad] Found this awesome disclaimer on the fake news site consumer-weekly.com.  I think they are under the mistaken impression that somehow they can comply with FTC disclosure requirements by stretching the truth about earning potential and cost as long as they toss a giant disclaimer in tiny light gray text at the bottom of their [...]

Is Grants 360 a scam?

by El Plumber (admin) on October 12, 2009

Can you get millions of dollars for free from the US Federal Government and never have to pay it back?  It’s what Grants360.com wants you to believe and as you have hopefully guessed, it’s not all that true.  Is it a scam? Does the US Government give out thousands of dollars to people for working [...]

News 3 Show and News3insider.com Scam

by El Plumber (admin) on October 5, 2009

[ad] Before you go any further, no, Google is not hiring people to work from home.  They are not providing any kits to work from home, especially for the low low price of $1.97 which gets you to cough up your credit card number and later you notice you’ve been whacked for multiple card charges [...]
