Fake News Site Work At Home Scam

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about the Google Money Tree Scam. The concept is very simple. You're promised to make easy money with Google by just slapping some links across the web. But the truth is you end up losing a lot of money and faith in Google which incidentally is not associated with any of these companies. It should be noted that the Google Money Tree site isn't the sole culprit here. You can pretty much fill in the blank with the name or address of any site claiming to make huge easy profits with Google and the results are pretty much the same as what I described in the Google Money Tree scam. It's really simple to avoid, if you read the copy and it keeps mentioning Google profits this and Google make money that, it's the same crap all dolled up with a different name or website.

Old Dog, New Trick.

In any event, I wanted to refresh your memory about this because these shady con artist have switched it up.

Habitat for Humanity Work At Home Scam

So if you're a loyal subscriber that's read my work at home scam section from top to bottom, one of the things I've warned against is that some scam artist will use the name and contact information of legitimate companies to lure you into a sense of security. This tends to happen in emailed work at home job offers. Most of the times, the scammers will only reference smaller, lesser known companies. But recently that's changed. I don't know if scammers have had a bowl of Wheaties or grown a bigger pair, but now they're using larger company's identity to push their work at home scams.

The Wisconsin Better Business Bureau (BBB) recently issued an alert regarding a current work-at-home scam using a well-known charity, Habitat for Humanity. In case you don't know, Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. They build with people in need regardless of race or religion. This is a great company that does great work. Leave it to a scammer to corrupt such a noble cause.

Warning: Government Cash Grant Scams!

So is it really true? Is President Obama just giving away money to any one that applies for a government grant? Can you really receive thousands of dollars to use as you please just by sending in $1.99 processing fee for a grant kit or database?

If you believe this is true, then I am little green leprechaun that eats lucky charms and has a pot of gold stashed at the end of a rainbow. (Sorry I couldn't help it. St Patrick's day just passed. )
