Google Cash : Scam?

A writer and good trader friend of mine asked me to look into the Google Cash phenomenen that is getting splashed all over the internet. I was not very familiar with it at all, but once I started looking around, it became apparent that it is advertised everywhere. First off, they are not affiliated with Google at all. It is a completely independent operation that just utilizes google advertising ad space to generate ad-clicks and residual revenue. Please keep in mind that Google does not endorse this product, nor is it associated with the Google brand name in any legal manner. So if you think you are buying into the famous Google organization safety net, you are mistaken. You will be completely on your own to resolve any issues you may end up having while dealing with Google Cash, and the complaint issues are growing rapidly.

Lets start with the Better Business Bureau information. Google cash is NOT accredited by the BBB, and receives a rating of F. F is the lowest rating they have. The same rating scale that schools use on report cards. Not good so far, Google Cash gets a flunking grade .

Now lets go to the Complaints Board and take a look at all the complaints filed. Unauthorized billing, unable to cancel accounts, damaged merchandise, no refund as advertised, defunct customer service number, etc. Click the link above and read what a lot of customers have to say. It l also looks as if the fine print comes into play here . The appeal of Google Cash Is diminishing rapidly here for me.

OK, so now lets go over to Ripoff Report.com and see what they have to say. Wow, not good at all. An extensive list of complaints, even worse than the other two places we looked. Unable to cancel, unauthorized charges, hidden contracts in the fine print, etc. Just a whole bunch more unhappy customers.

Well, personally I would pass on every product they have to offer. The multiple "unable to cancel" and "unauthorized charges" complaints are more than enough to make me keep my credit card info safely in my pocket. Once you give these people your card number the problems start, and you are stuck trying to get the billing issues resolved.

Here is an excellent article in the Electron Plumber by by El Plumber (admin) on January 5, 2009. This article walks you through the Google Cash scam, from start to finish. How you got sucked in, what to do about it, how to avoid, etc. Well worth reading at least for the general information of how online scams work, and the tricks they use. Very informative, do yourself a favor and read the article from top to bottom.

This was an easy one to pin down into the "it stinks" category. The "Google" name is the bait for the general public , which is misleading in itself to say the very least.
Please do your own research every time you are thinking about ordering anything online.
