Is Easy Google Profit a Scam?

The Work from Home Advertisement Could Be Out for Your Money

What is Easy Google Profit?
The idea of getting to work from home appeals to so many, and even after hearing the horror stories from hundreds and thousands of people who have been scammed over the years, the trend is not dying. Easy Google Profit might very well be another of these scams, and could take you for a long and terrible ride should you become involved.

The concept is simple: sign up with Easy Google Profit and they will send you a kit to get you started raking in money from your website. Much like Google AdSense and other pay per click programs, Easy Google Profit works through advertisements.

Could Easy Google Profit be legitimate?
The company makes big promises upon first glance. According to their testimonials (which can be found all over the internet), if you sign up with Easy Google Profit and follow their model, you can make enormous amounts of cash, eventually becoming like the people they feature in their ads. Easy Google Profit can make you rich, can make you happy, and can even make you virile once again.

The problem is that Easy Google Profit shows all the signs of being another scam of the highest order.

The Easy Google Profit ploy
Even the ads themselves can't maintain a unified front. Each ad, cleverly (or not-so-cleverly) disguised as a blog post from a satisfied customer, features one person who has supposedly done so well that he is blogging about Easy Google Profit while vacationing with his wife in some distant country on the money that he has earned through the program.

What makes these ads ridiculous is that there are many different ones, each featuring a different person with all of the same information. Apparently five different people can all manage to pull in exactly $5300.04 in one week generated by thousands of people clicking their links. With that kind of regularity, I would never have to worry about eating Hot Pockets again.

A testimony about Easy Google Profit
One poor soul signed up with Easy Google Profit, filled in all of his personal information (name, phone number, email, etc.), and waited patiently for the arrival on his kit to begin working for the 14-day trial period, assured that the cancellation confirmation number would be included in a soon-to-come email. Once the initial 14 days had passed and he had neither received the email nor the kit, he began to worry. Once he began to experience $84 charges on his account, hounding by telemarketers, and extreme acid indigestion from desperately trying to find a number to call to cancel, he realized that he'd been had.

Identical testimonies can be found all over the internet.

Beware of Easy Google Profit
These practices of Easy Google Profit look oddly similar to those of the infamous GoogleMoneyTree which was charged by the Texas Attorney General for fraud after nearly identical circumstances occurred to many out of work Texans looking for a way to make ends meet.

Google itself strictly forbids the practices that these companies claim to have had such success with. For more information, one need only visit the Google support forums for lists of similar scams all over the Internet using the Google name to fool people into thinking that they are signing up for a legitimate business. Easy Google Profit is only one in a countless list. Always be careful, and never rush into a program that claims to be the fast-track to fortune.

    I have seen that advertisement so much recently that I had to get to the bottom of it. What's hilarious is the fact that the ads on the side of THIS VERY ARTICLE are the Google Easy Profits ads! How ironic!

    I've never heard of it before. Thanks for putting the info out there. It will, hopefully, help many people avoid falling for the scam using the Goggle name. Great article!
