Bunk: Make $5500 a month. No Skills Required
PREFACE: I know that this article is a scam! This is from an abstract perspective!
I ran across an article, today, entitled:
Google Now Hiring People To Work From Home Kit
Apparently, basically anyone, these days, can make a pretty good paycheck without even stepping out of their house.
What you need: A Computer, an Internet Connection and the desire to make a living working from home. No special skills are required other than knowing how to use a computer and navigate the internet.
Everyone knows how to use a computer these days! So when I saw this line…
From her website: “I get paid about $5 for every link I post and I get paid every week… I make around $5500 a month right now“
I was hooked, right? Heh.. Not so sure. You see, even though it says it’s Google, a trusted (ha) name in the online world, I’m a bit leery about spending $10 shipping to have a kit sent to me, when it’s an “online” based business. Why can’t they just email or let you download all of the info?
Go ahead, click the link to sign up for your kit! One of the things it says in big bold print:
This is NOT a make money with GOOGLE or EBAY Opportunity.
Regardless, when $5500 a month sounds too good to be true, it probably is! I’m sure you can make that much a month, but just how many hours a day, on the computer (that can’t be healthy!), do you have to spend to make that kind of money, even if it IS a legit start up business!
I dunno… you make up your own mind!
Funny thing about that site is the comments are IDENTICAL to the comments on a completely unrelated “make money at home” scam. Aside from the other obvious issues here, that was a big tipoff.
Totally, I was going to mention something about the comments… but I’m scatterbrained these days, and totally forgot!
I subscribe to the notion that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I have seen that ad before, though never sent in for the kit or anything. Was hoping to hear from someone I actually know to see if it was for real.
Yeah, I’ve never heard from anyone who had.
I also know that a long time ago, i read that if you have to PAY money for anything like a kit, that it’s not for real.
A huge clue that it’s a scam: the newspaper the article comes from and that the contact email directs you to (the New York Tribune) does not exist.
This particular “money making” opportunity is listed on Snopes.com too.
Yeah! Makes for a content, though! 🙂
Funny how many people will probably be suckered!
check it out on Snopes. BIG SCAM
Yeah! 🙂
Yes, it is a scam. Google wouldn’t hire people to post links! I actually *do* work at home for a search engine, but trust me when I say I do not make $5500 a month. 🙂
