Google Money System, Google Cash, Google Money Tree

What is common between Google Money Tree, Google Cash, Google Money System? Latest or upcoming Google products, Is that what you think?

No…!
Well then you already know that these are some schemes or programs that promises you riches using some Google services.

Adsense…?
Then you already know the name of that Google service too!! Yes Adsense! You add advertisement provided by Google on your blogs or websites and when your visitors click on these ads Google pays you.

imageSo these schemes are right in claim that they can help you earn money…?
No!! All these schemes try to make you believe that you can earn money from Google as easily as counting 1-2-3… It’s true that many entrepreneurs tried their luck with Google Adsense, and they were successful in that and most of them are well settled with their ‘early retirements’. But other side of the story is that they are just a very small fraction of those who were trying to do so, and that majority failed in their efforts.

And for the people behind these schemes, if you believe me, they are making less money from Google and more from you! If you too want to give it a try, do it, but do it cautiously!

Cautiously…?
Yes! Many people who tried using these type of schemes have later reported that their credit cards were charged amounts that were never disclosed to them. While they thought that their overall expense over the scheme would be as low as $1-$5, they later ended up paying higher amounts as high as $70-$100 towards services that were disclosed/documented at locations where most people would fail to read.

Details please…?
Try to read those yourselves when you feel attracted to a similar scheme. This is just a start of a trend and many more schemes will pop up with time. Instead I would like to point out how you can safeguard yourselves from getting cheated!

How…?
USE VIRTUAL CREDIT CARDS !

Most of the Banks are for long time providing facilities using which you can create single-use virtual credit cards that you can use for online transactions. All you need to do is apply online for a virtual credit card with a fixed amount. The amount that you specify will be debited from your existing credit card or bank account and you will receive a credit card number which expires in next few days and maximum limit is whatever you gave when applying. Use this when making transactions for such schemes. Since these are single use cards, doing so you can rest assured that you will be charged no further.

If you do not use a virtual credit card before expiry or partially use it, the amount receivable by you will be credited back to your credit card/bank account in time as specified by the Bank.

Act wisely, think twice before falling in for schemes that are making money out of you. And any case don’t give away your credit card information to them, instead use Virtual credit cards.

  1. This is some good information, but it seems to me that you have not actually purchased either one of these programs.

    I’ve personally been using the Google money system for a few weeks now, and the profit has been much higher than the charges (which are clearly states in the terms).

    Say what you like, but you shouldn’t judge it until you have tried it.

  2. I have not judged the schemes anywhere!! I have only cautioned the users in how they could get cheated…

    By the way you seem to be owner of Google Money System! You said charges are clearly mentioned in terms. What I could see was $1.95… Is it the same amount users are charged with? and no subsequent charges?? Awaiting your reply!

  3. In the terms of the website itself. The initial cost IS only $1.95, and it really does make good money. You should try it out yourself.

  4. So you’re saying there’s no way to make money with adsense, don’t even try it , you’ll fail?

    You need to learn the 80/20 rule – That in any given industry, any given business , 80% of the people will fail , and the 20% will succeed and make 80% of the income in that associated field.

    I don’t make a ton of money with adsense (A dollar or two a day) But it’s hands off income.

    Having said that , I bought one of those “Other” courses and make about $100/day.

    I’d venture to say you’re not making $100/day with this blog.

  5. 2 bucks a day? Man, that’s not good… you really need to get some affiliate links on your blog instead of adsense. I’m making about 700/day from that blog… If you’d like me to show ya how, make these links dofollow, and we can talk. :]

  6. @GMS -
    1) I am sure initial cost is $1.95, but who will tell people about $47 per month (charge mentioned in fine prints, only on the page where credit card details are asked for) it they don’t cancel in 7 days?
    2) This blog is hosted at wordpress.com so no support for adsense or dofollow links

    @T20YrBil
    1) I didn’t say you can’t make money from adsense, I said it’s not as easy as counting 1-2-3. And surely the ratio is not 80:20…

    I think people should learn about Google adsense from real people like Darren Rowse and Jeremy Shoemaker and not from people who are just “keywords” trying to form Google Bomb in their favor.

  7. I am a home stay mom and in need of money! I have checked this system through the different blogs and sites which say it works. I get a bit worry when I see you should tell your personal information and bank information to somebody you really don’t know! It could end to an ID fraud I thought, then I saw your blog which I think has got good info and advice on. So thank you for that…

  8. Also, I do want to make a suggestion Jalaj…..

    Go check out a program called arbitrage conspiracy.

    It’s a similar product to google money tree, with the exception that the cost is $2,000. There are hundreds of satisfied customers, yet people who have been unable to get a refund because the “Trial” period was over, and they did pay the $2,000 course fee.

    The $50, $75 is pretty trival to test out a new market/business compared to something like a real estate mentoring course which could cost easily $15,000.

  9. Thanks Amy,
    I am glad that at least one person commented in support of this post. $1.95 is not a large amount, and you can go ahead to test the scheme and get money you need. But always use virtual credit cards to safeguard yourself.

    Do post your experiences here.

  10. $50 and $75 are petty trivial but that is the amount that people never expected to pay.

  11. I’m thinking about purchasing the google money system, but I’m a little cautious because it seems too good to be true. Not much of a risk taker. For the ones who have actually used the system. How long did it take to see real money? Like $5000 a month. What is the difference between google money system and arbitrage conspiracy? Also, what is the success rate for people who have actually used the programs? Just wanted to know, because I know nothing about how ppc works. Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

  12. Hi i hav registerd for google money system but somehow feel like its a scam…coz in my bank statement it says Some auction instead of google money…how would i contact them to cancel it

  13. I think you should first cancel your credit card, then contact the Google money people on whateer contacts they provided that you need to cancel immediately otherwise you will see more debits in form of monthly subscription charges or something like that.

  14. Hi Jalaj

    I’d just like to say well done for standing up to these idiots and sticking to the moral high ground. I think these schemes are evil and sucker money out of innocent people looking to make a better life for themselves. People who set up schemes like this are parasites that contribute nothing to the world.

    If a service is genuinely good and worth investing in they will be open and honest right from the start.
    Dave

  15. Thanks Dave,
    I liked last line from your comment which itself explains everything. I have reproduced it in the main post.

  16. Which one have you bought?

    Cheers for answering.

  17. Clearly states are quite hard words. I barely could find them…

  18. Hi, I would be very interested in getting more info on this Google money system. I have been doing some research on it and it doesn’t look good but I also haven’t found anyone that has actually given this system a good try. So I have an open mind and would appreciate some more info from you since you sound pretty positive about this system. Please email me at ——–@hotmail.com or just reply to this post here. Thank you!

  19. Hey generally stick to the rule that they’re all scams. See the link ive posted below.
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdSense/thread?tid=310b60ceedc1cd07&hl=en
    Don’t sign up for anything that needs a “shipping fee” upfront.
    You can tell scams because they always tell you to hurry, and say that there are only a few positions left.
    You’ll have better luck trying a bingo room bidding 2p a game, however go for a well known one who gets checked on the random number pickings.

    At the end of the day, if you found a get rich quick scheme, would you share it?
    Unless the scheme was getting money off people, who think they’ll get rich.

    Sorry and good luck, just don’t fall for it.

  20. ok i have not purchased this product although i was highly attracked by it. and i came across this fourm and was able to come to a better decision on wether or not to do this. It says make adds. so does this mean i have to make adds and pray that millions of people around the world will click on this add? do u make adds for other websites or is it u make the add and put it on ur own MS of FB, type of things. i dont quite understand that bit. but i filled in the first fourm and it took me to the card details and i read underneath saying that the $1 is a trail and after 7 days u will be charged $49 a month and im not sure if there are anymore hidden fees in there cause i was planning to make money no spend money and if it all falls down to luck on wether or not you can make money out of this. i think i shall have to say no i dont want to risk it.
    thanks jalaj for all the info…

  21. Hi Ajaj

    Thank you a lot for above info. I have the same concern, especially when I saw page with the credit cards details section. I am concern to give it away and do not fancy cancelling it later on at all!

    Thanks again!

  22. I signed up for Google Cash.. paid the $1.95, didnt even notice any other charges.

    Only to find out a few days later that $309 had been put on hold my a company based in Phoenix, ready to be withdrawn.

    I was told by my bank there was no way to cancel the withdrawal & all I could do was wait & see if they withdrew the money & when they did.. challenge it.

    It’s been three weeks now & I still havent recieved anything, not a Cd, not a program, not a book, guide.. nothing.

    If that’s not a scam.. I dont know what is..

  23. Hey,
    Am interested in that, can u show me how plz?
    Thanks

  24. You need to contact your Bank. They will guide you in how you can create online account to prepare Virtual credit cards on the fly

  25. I disagree with you about this company being a scam. Apparently you did not follow directions in the terms & conditions. I purchase the program and it is working out fine. I would like to make more money, however $185.00 in a couple of days (2) is pretty good.

  26. If it’s not scam, why credit card? why not paypal! or other modes of payment!!

  27. thanks for the info, nothing but biased info when I googled it so came onto Yahoo and found your blog which has definitely put me off…$1.95 I thought why not but pay by credit card got me feeling uneasy that’s when I decided to investigate further so thank you for the help.

  28. It’s surprising that amount, greater than that you thought you were giving away, is charged to credit card and nothing can be done except for wait and watch

  29. Thank you for the info. I always go by the saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t” But Google was a name I thought I could trust. I was intrested in at least checking it out, I mean only 1.95 for S&H, but then under the credit card info I read the small print and the 47.00/month membership. I did not go any farther. Thank you for the info on the virtual credit, never heard of that before, but it sounds like a sure safeguard.

  30. I cant believe people give even $1.99 to those scam sellers. Also I hate people like you James, divulging false information on the internet,hoping and waiting for us to change our believes about such mass fraud tentative which they are part of.
    I think the real problem here is a lack of legislation which should not permit to those fraudsters to put in place such kind of traps. I never paid to work in my life and I never will and if I want make money doing something, the first thing I try to do is to learn as much as I can about the arguments involved in the business I want earn from, not paying same beggar donkey hoping that he gives to me the magic formula.

  31. I think you are a LIAR!
    Anyone who has ever ordered the Kit has NEVER received it and had a charge of $79.00 added on the the Credit card. YOU LIE!

  32. hey thanks for the post, it was really helpful. after reading the posts i decided to give google systems a try and i would give you guys the feed back. the trick is after you enter your credit card info (preferably a virtual credit card) call the number in the terms and conditions and cancel all other automatic subscriptions. The call might put you on hold for a long time, but you need to be persistent for you to get to them. I would also call the card company if you are using a real card and tell them not to authorize any payments to any company, tell them you are suspecting a scam. Just remember to recieve your cancellation code from the customer service rep that cancelled the subscribtion for you. This is exactly what i did and i’m currently awaiting the kit, but if it doesn’t arrive i know i am on the safe side. 1.95 dollars is not that much. i’ll keep you guys posted and yes i am a real person.

  33. Paid the $1.95. Got the CD. Was a bunch of nothing to do with GMS. Not even mentioned. I called the number. The person didn’t even know what GMS was? Never heard of it. The CD was all about ecommerce and dropshipping with a bunch of ebooks you can buy from clickbank. I canceled any further charges and they were compliant. It’s a bunch of BUNK! Oh. Take a look at these 2 sites. They both have the same check for the same amount $5300.04 That check must get around? http://www.personalsuccesstories.com/KevinPeters/index.html

  34. Hi!

    I’m an idiot and I signed up for Google Money System. You say you canceled any further charges, how did you do so? I can’t find any contact information or anything. Please help!

  35. Good news which I discovered thanks to a post by ‘Deano’ on scam dotcom – looks like the long arm of the law may finally be catching up with these scammers!

    “Attorney General Abbott Charges Web Site Operator with Orchestrating Fraudulent Work-at-Home Scheme

    Infusion Media Inc.’s ‘GoogleMoneyTree’ uses high profile name to deceive out-of-work Internet users

    AUSTIN – Attorney General Greg Abbott today charged two Utah-based defendants with operating a fraudulent work-at-home scheme. The state’s enforcement action names Infusion Media Inc. and Jonathan D. Eborn, whose “GoogleMoneyTree.com” promised six-figure earnings for conducting specialized Google and Yahoo Internet searches.

    According to investigators, the defendants promised big payouts in order to convince Web users to spend $3.88 on shipping and handling for a “free kit” that supposedly would show them how to make money from home. Those who purchased the kit were later surprised to discover they were being charged $72 a month by the defendants.”

    They are encouraging other victims of this scam to “file complaints with the Office of the Attorney General toll-free at (800) 252-8011 or file complaints online

    Gabriella – there is some advice on how to cancel the charges at this website:
    http://strangelyperfect.tv/3099/google-treasure-chest-its-a-scam-and-a-half/

  36. If you look way at the bottom. There is a contact tab and also a terms and agreeement…start diggin around…it’s there!

  37. I signed up for the system and got the CD and it was a bunch of garbage. I also did a virus check on the CD and in the E-Books section there was a virus, so I just browsed the CD with explorer and stayed away from that file. I made a fraudelent charge claim on my card and had my bank shut it off, so I should not get any charges other than the $1.95 I paid for the CD.

  38. heres the customer service number 888-208-9320 extention number-8013

  39. That check has also made its way onto another site: http_//www.joshmadecash.com/?s=VC_Pop7

    It sure does get around.

  40. This is a bunch of trash using your card without permission. Is against the law. How can anyone be so stupid.

  41. Check out this site! The Google Fast Cash idea looks quite appealing! (:

  42. I, a CPA, too got suckered into this, but was VERY LUCKY to have found this site and others like it.

    I cancelled my card and cancelled before the trial period was up.

    I then received a phone call from a friendly sounding woman at 866-311-7023; she, Roxi Minkkinen, said I wouldn’t be charged. When I called this number back, a foreign sounding man answered and when I complained about their devious practices, he laughed and told me that “you Americans are so stupid and think you can get something for nothing”. He then told me that my personal financial and identifying information was being sold to a group in NORTH KOREA!!! When I began to curse him out, he laughed as loud as possible and hung up.

    So the true purpose of these scams is to get information for ID theft from U.S. Citizens and sell it to NORTH KOREAN criminal organizations.

    Yes I guess we are pretty stupid…

  43. I tried your system out months ago. I was told that it was only going to cost me a dollar and the information was going to be sent out to me. You guys have taken more than $300 from me and I want it all back. you just took another $10 out of my account. So please replace all funds that I have allowed you to withdraw and cancel my membership, otherwise I will be forced to report you to the FBI as an internet fraud. Thank you

  44. I never got word of a trial period. I lost hundreds because of jerks like this. How do we put an end to these people?
