    Its a well known scam, any job where you have to pay them first is a scam.

    It has all the basics of a scam including a count down clock to rush you through. AVOID.

    The newspaper article was made by the people who sell you this 'kit'

    <snipped smap link> Its the only article on the site, and when you try to leave the page, it offers you the software again.

    But, go for it, and let us know how you get on.

    They have a unmentioned (but probably in their terms) subscription fee they charge you after a month for between $40 -$70 if you don't cancel your account. Don't even sign up just to see.

    yup, that's my understandin too, but would/could they actuallt take more money from your card, ive wondered this? they are runnin under the name of google. i'm just not sure how the credit card procedure works after the customers done their bit? and that's not exactly a contract you'd be inputtin your information into online

    dont worry i wasnt about to sign up or anythin, just wonderin how things work outside my own little world @)

    You would be signing up for a subscription. It probably says so deep in their terms. Also they are called "Easy Google Profits". Similar thing to entered a competition by text and finding yourself in a subscription only more expensive. It's easy enough to set up a sub on your card. I used to do it for a legit newsletter.

    How is it free if you have to pay $2.29?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    You would have to be mad to fall for this...that article is an ad for the damn thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭loismustdie


    seriously though, the point of this thread is to find out if anyone knows wat happens if you did sign up? do they use your card details to take all your money and never hear from you again, or like one poster said have terms that state you keep givin more? just weirdly curious?

    obvious scam nonsense is obvious. Nobody wants to link to spam.
