What’s Inside The Google Home Income(Cash)CD?

I opened up my Google Home Income (Cash) CD today and read it once again, as a reminder of what people are being duped into sending off for, when they join these programs. I also have the EBay CD that these sites sell for shipping charges and then sign you up for multiple memberships in other programs.

I cannot publish the contents because of the copyright, although, I would love to. Just to show everyone that what they are receiving is simple knowledge that is free on the internet. In fact almost all of it is available on Google’s instruction pages and FAQ pages, for Adsense and Adwords. The same is true for the EBay CD. Most of the info is on EBay for free.

I am reporting what to do in case you have been scammed. I have posted this same information on scam.com several months ago and in three separate posts.

Some “things to do” if you have been scammed

Report to the following agencies:

Internet Crimes Complaint Center
http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

The Federal Trade Commission
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

The Attorney Generals Office
in your state as well as the state the “company” is in. You can find the appropriate AG’s here:
http://www.naag.org/attorneys_general.php

You can also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/getstarted.aspx

Filing with all of these is important.
It may take a few minutes of your time but any help is appreciated.

The more consumers that file, the faster that action will be taken to stop these thieves from stealing from other victims.

The very nature of these scams is that they usually sign you up with 2-3 other membership sites. This is part of the “CON”.

You need to make sure that they have no access to any of your credit lines, and can not bill you down the road, in the future. You may have been signed up for another program and do not know it yet.

My suggestion is to go back to the original site and click on the T&C or TOS (Terms of Service) and then copy them into a text file or print them out, and read them very carefully.
If they are trying to be semi-legit then they will list all of the other memberships that you have been signed up for.

Lastly, you should cancel your debit or credit card, and demand a rebill from your card issuer or banking institution.
