Google Money Master, Google Business Kit, Google Revolution amp; Google Treasure Chest are scams.

I've had a few friends contact me regarding a work at home opportunity called Google Money Master.

It is catching people out because the information on the web looks professional. The articles that have been placed on the net are convincing. They even have comments from other people saying how great it is to earn so much money - all fake of course.

This is a scam, as are 99% of all work at home offers are scams. Especially, if they say you can make several hundereds pound; or $ a day.

If you click on the links in one of the articles it takes you to a registration page. If you try to close it - it won't let you. Instead it brings up a pop-up tries to get you to engage in an online conversations.

You have to close browser via Windows Task manager. It is a nusiance.

If you enter your details they will ask for a small amount of money. Most people think hey it is only a couple of...

Many people would recognise an offer being a scam when the offer claims that you can earn thousands a week for a couple of hours work, and not being specific about the work involved. But there seems to be more and more scams that appear completely legitimate, preying on those desperate to make ends meet in the current economical climate, and as stated in the article, when asked only for a few pounds administration cost, or postage costs, many would take the risk and pay the money.

A few years back there was an ad in the jobs section of our local paper, a company looking for builders to help rebuild villages and schools damaged by floods in third world countries (or something along those lines). The company requested £5 for an information pack and to cover postage. A few weeks later there was an article in the paper stating that this was a scam, no such company, no such work. Apparently, thousands of people sent off £5.
