LOL. Well, you know, I hate it, folks, but if you are going to make money you ARE going to have to sell a product or service that people want because it solves a problem. If you want o make residual income then you are going to have to offer a product or service that people want to keep buying.

It seems to me that you can either sit around trying to read Google’s mind or you can actually try to provide something that people want.

There are no easy routes and you are going to have to run your business as a BUSINESS.

What about the legitimate pages (like Forbes) that these adds appear on? Don’t they screen their advertisers? Isn’t there a code of ethics or common sense that tells them these adds are bogus and we should not subject our readers to them?

Thanks Rick, I’ll go report them to Google! We use Google Adsense and a while ago Google did a Google Money Scam purge and removed all accounts and ads for these types of things from their system (which we actually accidentally were caught up in and they canceled our account, later reinstated when we complained loudly) so I stopped paying attention. Looks like they are creeping back in.

Just to let you know that the adverts on your page come up with links to these scams.

PS: Also, do file complaints to bbb.org, ftc.gov and ic3.gov. The more complaints filed, higher the chances for a positive resolution.

I also fell for same scam. Called my VISA and they told me I had to cancel account ( DO NOT JUST CANCEL ACCOUNT WITH VISA, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH AS CHARGES WILL SHOW UP AGAIN) but also call each individual service shown on statement to cancel service and ask for confirmation numbers each time. Call bank back with confirmation numbers for service suspension and refund requests. That is the only way VISA can give protection from further charges and file dispute for chargeback if refund is not made within time stipulated by the service.

I’ve done what they have told me, waiting to see…

Hope this helps and Good luck!

Well Akrido, I can’t speak much to the legitimacy of that site you mention. A little investigation appears to be an affiliate site for something called Carbon Copy Pro, which most people that aren’t trying to sell you it claim is an elaborate multi level marketing company that is dancing directly on the line of being a pyramid scheme. You have to pay thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to join a level so you can “sell” products that aren’t worth much, then recruit others underneath you.

I’d certainly steer clear.

Here is the URL of another work-online scam-o-tron that I have just found:
onlinebusinessonautopilot.com

Notice that this guy has posted a press release at something called 24-7pressrelease.com trying to steer suckers toward his con game! Ostensibly the scam is run by “Sophia and Aaron Rashkin” of Parker, Colorado, but that’s probably not their real name, and not their real location.
Keep up the good work, El Plumber! “Work online” scams seem to be some sort of holy cow–Craigslist and other job sites give no warnings about them, and legitimate news stories about this fraud epidemic are rare, so victims are suffering in silence for the most part. Keep breaking the silence.
Any idea as to how many people are behind these scams? Is it five to ten con artists posing as many different “companies,” or are there really that many of them?
