Google Work-At-Home Kit? Make Money Posting Links From Home? Get Paid For Doing Absolutely Nothing?
In my Internet Complaint Box post, I briefly touched on the barrel-bottom forum over at Google, where any and all forms of complaint and discussion seem to rise, as if bubbling from the soupy runoff of a newbie processing plant. By far, the most common discussion is the “Internet scam”.
A certain degree of triage is performed by myself and several other “power-user” contributors. Unfortunately, most of these episodes are too far along to offer any satisfactory resolve – credit cards have been handed over, repeat charges are appearing on bank statements, and representative phone numbers aren’t working.
Once again, these scams have absolutely nothing to do with Google. But since “Google” is synonymous with “Internet”, people seem to think Google should know that they’ve been scammed on “their” Internet. It really is a serious problem, and I truly feel remorse for most of these unfortunate victims.
And then there are the smarter folks.
