I've been working with them for months and have been paid every month. I actually know several other people that have been paid as well. That being said, I know some folks don't think being paid a few cents to read email is worth their time. In stead of just passing on the opportunity and sticking to traditional jobs like the ones listed above, they run around labeling a company like hits4pay a scam. Unfortunately that seems to be common place in this industry. Someone doesn't like a company's given policy and now it's a scam. So to each their own. But if you want to report them you can contact the BBB. But from my understanding you have to give them more than that you think it's a scam. Woodford,

I wrote about this work-at-home scam back in June 09 and it seems since then that Pacific Web Works has increased their scam ads. I've seen the ads on numerous blogs, websites and social networking sites like Twitter. I have actually turned down many advertising requests from people who are trying to promote this scam. While I believe people must do their due diligence when researching an opportunity, bloggers and website owners also need to help the efforts by promoting products in which they can legitimately support. This is the policy that I follow on my blog, The Work at Home Woman. This is such great news!

They're not a billion dollar company by accident. They hire the best of the best in all areas. So these scam artists won't have much of a chance. They better just settle out of court. I think Google has learned their lesson and will probably figure out a way to better police some of the shady advertisers. Trust me they're constantly change things. As an internet marketer I'm constantly reading about the "Google Slaps" on advertiser's Google adwords accounts. But a lot of times it's because they're doing shady things. So Google has always been fighting these folks privately. But now they're doing it publicly and with lawyers because the scammers crossed a line. lol Callie, You already know I'm a hot mess and just say what I feel. lol I did enough posturing in Corporate America and now that I'm free of them I can really be me. Fortunately most of you deal with my craziness in a favorable way. I'm sure I'll have another "Eddyism" for your enjoyment next week. In any event, I'm glad you agree with me regarding folks talking responsibility for themselves by doing their research. I think if more people did this, it will really be hard for these con-artist to pull the nonsense they do. Thanks for chiming in as usual. Eunice, Glad you like the post. The victim mentality is something we all go through. But then you have to reach a point and need to make a change. If someone keeps punching your face, logic dictates you should probably move, block or punch back. I would argue most people do this instinctively. But when it comes to this work at home industry it seems like folks are more inclined to wait for someone else to step in. And that's a recipe for two black eyes and some lost teeth. So hopefully this article will inspire people not to be the punching bag anymore. By the way I'm glad you picked up on my not so allusive reference to that chinese proverb. It's one I really believe in and try to cram down the throats of my visitors. I know I've lost some people because of this action, but these are the folks that will ignore the advice and wonder why they got scammed. In any event, thanks for sharing your two cents. It was appreciated. Maddy, Thanks for thinking about me when you saw the article. Truth be told I've been reading all the articles since the new broke out but decided to wait to write about it so it coincided with the job leads posts. I totally agree with your comments. But Google knew about the issue for a while and had posts about it in their blogs way before the lawsuit. I just don't think they realized the impact it was having on their brand. But even that is weird because they collect so much data about their user searches. They would easily see the jump in search references to their company name and work at home. After all they have a trends tool. So I don't know what was going on behind the scenes. But at the end of the day they have reacted and it's not going to be a good thing for these con artist. Thanks for chiming in. Edgar,

I agree - quite frankly, I think they could have easily stuck it to scammers a long time ago based on the "seemingly confusing" language of most proprietary laws. And if Google had been - or even now would - read your blog, it would give them a "heads up" on the type of things that could be impacting their business!

It should do something to counteract the victim attitude that many people have. "Why is this happening to me?" If you take responsibility for your decisions, you can plot your future. The reference to teaching someone to fish is right on the money: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. --Chinese Proverb Great post, Eddy.

Lawd, you're a mess and have seen the Hanes/Playtex commercial one too many times. lol However, in your articles you do tend to be candid and always tell it like it is ... so that analogy was no exception. :) Moving right along ... lol, I do give Google two thumbs way up and ALL their props for everything they have done and are continuing to do to put the scammers in their proper place. Google has my complete support in their efforts. I totally agree that as adults and individuals it is ultimately our responsibility to do our part by conducting research to help keep ourselves and others as safe from scam as possible. Be safe people ... do your research! Routinely make it a part of your daily web activities. Great info Eddy. Keep it coming! It will be interesting to see what analogy you will use next. lol The “girls” Eddy?
