Thanks for chiming in. I wouldn’t be surprised if the check is a fraud. It’s probably been digitally manipulated many times over to convince people to buy into this misleading product. That being said a check from Google would actually be legitimate assuming you could earn one following whatever this shady company is teaching. But that’s really the issue with this scam. They’re not being upfront that they’re teaching you about affiliate marketing where you can actually earn checks from Google. But the real scam for this particular product is the misrepresentation of the product and the hidden fees added on when you buy this nonsense.

The scams that are designed to get you to cash fake checks which is what I think you’re referring to is described here:

It’s totally different than this Google Money Tree scam listed above. That being said, I still appreciate you chiming in. Because it goes to show the scam artist are even lazy in their own craft that they couldn’t even digital alter a fake Google check properly. How sad.

Making money with adsense has nothing to do with praying. It’s just good old fashion hard work and applying internet marketing skills to reach the audience that will click on those ads. They’re more inclined to do that if you provide some quality content. It’s just marketing 101. If you’re not good at that, then you won’t make money. It’s not a conspiracy. Like any profession, if you’re not properly equipped or trained you’re bound for failure. You can’t make money as a lawyer if you never went to law school and don’t know the laws of your jurisdiction. So let’s not make these generalizations because it basically like comparing apples to oranges.

I’m gathering you may have struggled with adsense or just internet marketing in general. That’s normal, we all did. But trust me casting blame on everyone else isn’t really the answer. You just have to hunker down and keep pushing forward. Road blocks are part of the process but it’s how you handle the road blocks is what may lead to success or failure. I’m wishing you the best Doug. Take care.

Keep in mind you have to make a website and then place ads on them and then PRAY you get $100 worth of hits and/or searches….

Thanks to workathomenoscams.com I now have more insight about making money from home. I will not stop until I read every thing this site has to offer.:-) I am just trying to tap into this industry and carve my niche like you have Eddy. I am doing some research of my own and so far I have made money with a few sites.

This is about the time I usually start my routine in making extra money for Christmas online… (Removed by admin.)

I will not stop until I can successfully help people learn many free ways to make money online. Thanks for your help!

To Eddy: Hello Eddy, I recently found this site while doing research on this “google” scam to see if it was legit before actually doing anything with it. I am glad that you are one of the good people that help protect people from scams.

I am one of the people lucky enough to know how to research on my own and to find out what are scams and what aren’t (like the e-mails saying you can get $1,000,000.00 USD if you send them money)

I am also interested in fighting these kinds of sites, and helping to shut them down for good. I would like to figure out a way to do something like advertise on TVs and in advertisement areas to help protect people from these ads, or if that fails, to try to get a news team(s) to inform people of recent scams, as well as old scams, not only on the TV but on there respective websites, too. Maybe it is possible for you to help me in this goal, as well as other viewers to do this as well. Maybe it is possible to form an organization that provides these news teams of these scams. I’m sure everyone will be happier at this, and thank the news teams (and the organizations) of these discoveries and updates.

I know these achievements are very hard to accomplish, but nonetheless are accomplishable if people decided to pitch in and help.

I would like to know everyones opinion on this idea, not just Eddy’s.

I really appreciate that.
