Scam or what?

derf · 07-13-2009, 01:31 PM

I think it is, A guy at work said he is gonna do it on the side, it looks scamish to me, mainly because of the domain name. It reads like an ad, but the guy said that he has a friend that did it and got some money. I dunno it just looks scketchy

Are online jobs the next big thing? For Mary Steadman it sure is. Mary, a mother from Hainesport NJ is thriving, in the middle of an economic recession working in the comfort of her own home.
From her website: "I get paid about $25 for every link I post on Google and I get paid every week... I make around $5500 a month right now"
Mary's story is a very familiar one in these tough times. She lost her job as an account rep for a manufacturing company and a few days later her husband also was laid off from his job as part of cutbacks due to the bad economy.
"We knew we had to do something, so we put our heads together and started trying online job opporuntities." Mary and her husband Kevin wound up getting caught up in a few quick rich business opportunities that were nothing more than pyramid schemes before finding something that really worked.
"I realized the best thing to do is instead of hoping that a company that you are looking at is going last, why not go with a big, reputable company. After looking at several different companies, I picked the safest bet... Google."
Online giant Google is a publicly traded company and is worth an estimated $100 Billion (with a b). The company has pioneered online search and has changed the way we use the internet.
In a matter of weeks Mary and Kevin had a steady stream of income coming in via checks that were delivered to their home. They happened upon a system called "Easy Google Profit" that taught them how to make money posting links online.
Easy Google Profit is a free course that can teach anyone, regardless of computer skill level to start making money online. It's available for free at EasyGoogleProfit.com.
"We were doing pretty good and then we discovered the real trick to making money. We combined "Easy Google Profit" with another free course called "My Internet Payday" that's where we really learned the extra tricks so instead of making a couple of hundred bucks here and there we started maximizing the amount we made."
For those of you that have seen the 'scammy' sites on the internet that promise you can make millions of dollars online Mary warns that this is not the promise being made here and that most of those sites are false representations of earnings you can make.
"We never tell anyone they'll make millions of dollars, in fact I think this is the ONLY online system that says you probably WON'T make millions, but you can generate a legitimate income from home like I do that replaced my full time job."
Getting started is simple. Following these simple steps below is all you need to do to get started.
Step 1: Get Easy Google Profit, only pay the $1.00 for shipping.

Step 2: Also get My Internet Payday. This is key. I think you pay $1.95 for shipping or something. to post. Start posting those links. Google tracks everything.

Step 3: Follow the directions on Easy Google Profit that basically shows you how to and set up a Google account. You need them both. Then they will give you the website links to post. Start posting those links. Google tracks everything

Isn't this the modern equivalent of stuffing envelopes at home?

Thats what I was thinking when I looked at it, but the money looks too good to be true, but then I started thinking that maybe the other site that is mentioned automates it somehow.

I didn't get past the page linked in the OP, and I tried to load http://readthetimes.org but it won't load, so I think its a total scam made to look like a real story.

It is a scam.

If they get paid big bucks to do it, how come google is not affiliated at all?

If you think it might be a scam, it's a scam. If someone is promising a lot of money for no work, you shouldn't even have to ask if it's a scam.

I wish I could find something like this that's too legit to quit so I could make a little extra cash. I'm always on the web.
