What Is The Google Money System Home Business Kit
I got an email today from a guy " wanting to be my friend " and for only $2.00 in postage I was going to get this " Google " kit where I could make a lot of money at home using my computer. ( maybe this guy knows how poor I am )
His email included a picture of his old car and his new car. He claims to be making $7,500.00 dollars a month working just a few hours a day.
Has any LF members any info about this or is it just another Internet scam??Linux registered user # 414321

Sounds like nothing more than another web scam to me.

Although I notified a bunch of people at the Campaign For Liberty about this scam no one has done anything about it! It must be that the organization is out to swindle the people on their email list. What a shame!!

Google does offer a wide range of legit services relating to business and advertising, and I do recall reading there about a simple Google affiliated scheme to make money by hosting some kind of advertising on your site, then you get paid by the click. But I am 99% sure that they do not solicit business by sending out emails.

I do not know if the campaign for Liberty was just too embarrassed to admit that something funny is going on at their HQ or what!!
The spiel I got was the of the exact description in Ozar's link where this guy claimed to be making $8500.00 per month from his home computer.
It was the very first time that anything like that had come from them when all that they deal with is politics.Linux registered user # 414321
