The Best Google Kit Scam Disclaimer

Disclaimer[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 fake news site.  Like I’ve said before, we’re not lawyers at The Electron Plumber, nor do we pretend to be, but if you read our article on Free Trial Scams And The FTC you’ll see why we think this type of disclaimer is useless.  Basically it’s up to the advertiser and merchandiser to draw attention to necessary negative option disclaimers, not bury them.
