I was on the site local dot com because I was tryng to find our current weather in jacksonville. The site has a nice 3 column layout and on the left side I saw the headline of a mother who was in dire financial trouble last year but now she was earning between $5,000 and $7,000 per month. So like a fool I clicked on it.

The page that came up looked like that of a newpaper so I thought this was a story not an ad. Turns out the ad I clicked on was a Google Adsense ad which usually I know not to click on them. The page long ad told how this lady, Kelly Richards, of Jacksonville, Fl. was now doing pretty good and her only cost was $1.95. You have to really read the fine print, the stuff thats very small.

I first went to my white pages and tried to look this lady up but there were no listing for a Kelly Richards. Yes there were several with the last name of Richards but none of them were k or Kelly Richards. I evern tried to look this lady up online but still came up with nothing.

My wife used to work for a call center here in Jacksonville. The people who were calling in all were people who singed up for a $1.95 ...
... for a two day trial then all of a sudden their credit cards were charged something like $80.00. She hated the work because everybody who called in was very mad. I told her to take it easy these were people who didn't read the fine print ands that is why they were mad.

Turns out the call center was the one people who fell for this scam were directed to. This turned out to be that Google Cash Online thingamajig that a lot of angry people were talking about. In the ad that I had read nowhere did it say that the $1.95 was a two day trial. It also said nothing about the almost $300 that would be charged to my credit card over the next 90 days.

I've always hated ads that hide so much from you. If the product was good then nothing would have been deceptively hidden from us in the main ad. It sounded like all I had to do was to post some ads and it even went further to say that I did not have to wait for sales from the ads I posted I would be paid just for posting the ads. What a crock.

The only book I recommend for Google is Google Money Pro. I am now almost finished with number 2 in this series. For the last decade I have read so many advertisements and I can now honestly say that I know which ones are real and which ones are SCAMS. The Scam to look out for is called Google Cash Success Kit and if you do a search in Google you will see that this thing has a lot of complaints. I don't believe that the people at Google have anything whatsoever to do with this kit.
