Make Money From Home Scam
Filed Under Fraud Warning
There is a pretty witty method that people have been using to make money as affiliates for several products which tell you they will teach you how to make money by placing links on Google. It appears to be legit when you look at the referring site, and here is why.
You may actually be on a legitimate site such as CNN or even NYTimes.com who recently also had an article on this method. What you might see is sponsored ads somewhere on the page. Since you know that you are already on a trusted site, you might click on that ad which might be entitled “Make Money From Home” or “How I Make $5000 A Month With Google”. Once you click on this ad link, you will be taken to a site that appears to be a news site reporting about someone who has gotten paid to put links on Google. Just to make things even look more believable you will even find comments on the same page of other people who say they have tried it, and also made money. Obviously this is just to lure you in to signing up.
The real enticing call to action from these scammers is that it will only cost you a couple bucks for shipping to receive the free program. But in reality you will be signing up to be billed on your credit card for $40 or $50 per month.
Below is a simple illustration of how it works.
