I would doubt it.  If you want to make cash from google without being an employee read up on Adsense.  You can do this for free.

I would love to see an anwer from a Google representative! (with authority).
The silence is ear deafening...
A scan after all?!

I hope that you realize that there are limited responses made by Google employees on these forums.  Most information is provided by volunteers who do their best to point folks in the right direction based upon the information we have available to us (generally Help Center articles or personal experience or referrals to other appropriate groups.)

In the case of GoogleCash I doubt that you should expect a personal response from an employee.  However, if you really would like to strive for that, I would suggest that you post in the Adwords Help Forum, as GoogleCash appears to be based upon doing something with Adwords.  I must say though, anything like this that states that some people are earning $30,000 per month is extremely suspect in my book.  I would run, not walk from any program with such claims.

I've included a link to the Adwords Help Forum if you want to get additional opionions and possibly get a response from a Google employee.  That said, I would prefer that the Google employees focus their few responses on matters that are more pressing to the majority of posters.

Actually, the more I think about this and the more digging I do, the less sense GoogleCash makes to me.  The website I found references using Google Adwords to make money.  If they had mentioned Adsense ... and how to earn money from using Adsense on your own personal website, I could understand.  But ... the reference to using Google Adwords and how that would make you money is really over the top for me. 

What is Google Adwords
http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6084&topic=115

Update: The GoogleCash site I ran across mentioned "affiliate marketer" and "professional deal broker."  You may want to review the resources mentioned in the following Adwords discussion to get a better idea of what might be going on.  That still will not give you a feel for how "legitimate" that particular business is, though.  This approach to earning money is too convoluted for me.  I would still proceed with caution, if at all.

How do I use google adwords on Affiliate marketing
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords/thread?tid=3bf4f5b5148cceec&hl=en

I would not trust them or their site, I continue to get pop-up advertising on their site that cause me to close my browser for fear of infection.

They have even creating an official sounding website [with spelling errors]: http://www.federalreviews.com/googlecash.html [That may be part of their affiliated marketing program ;-)] and I would hesitate to click that link it is not a federal site else it would end in .gov].

Great finds!  I was afraid to go too far with my searching for fear of what would happen to my computer if I clicked on the shadier sites.  Of course, the GoogleCash site I found wasn't too reassuring.  What can you expect when the prominent photograph is of a young, bare-chested man?  That one just screamed at me to get out of there!

Anyway, the devoracles article clarified something for me that I had already suspected about this business venture ... I just couldn't find it on my own.

http://devoracles.com/google-cash-explaining-why-is-it-a-scam

When referencing the "e-book" the article states:

It explains how to create AdWords ads in a way that is forbidden by the AdWords Terms of service. Nowadays you can’t use hop-urls to fool the users who click on the ads

That would be enough for me to steer clear of such a money making scheme.  Many people are not aware that what they are being encouraged to do is against the Terms of Service (whether it is related to AdSense or AdWords.)  Yet another reason anyone considering any of these schemes should check with the AdSense and AdWords forums so someone can explain this type of thing to them.

I've just found an advert for GoogleCash $30k p/month through facebook. I was curious. Deciding it sounded too good to be true, I just searched for some info and came across this thread. There seems to be a LOT of websites set up about googlecash work from home stuff. Anywho - thanks everyone for confirming that this isn't legit...

Hey mooredc54,

Thanks for linking to me :)

I get emails every week regarding the legitimacy of this Google Cash system/cow/kit/etc. I'm wondering why people still think there's a rapid way to get rich. It's also interesting why Google or the applicable US office doesn't do something to make it end. If am not mistaken this service can be reported to the FBI as well, again I'm not an US resident and don't have knowledge regarding what can be reported and what not.
It's weird though. The devoracles article used to rank high a couple of day for the [google cash scam] search term and now dropped back to almost nowhere and been replaced by affiliate marketers websites(ish something). Whatever, I just tried to help with the article :)

Again, thanks for linking to me :)

Am also confused  about  this google cash stuff and all work at home online business. Though the pay sounds good and tempting, but how true can they be?

Note that not all work-from-home businesses are scam, but the vast majority of them as far as am concerned.

It can be really easy to recognize a scam. For example in Google Cash system's case, it's obvious it's a scam because Google has nothing to do with it. If you observed, all the Google sites looks the same, while all the Google Cash scam-sites has a fishy aspect and in no way looks like a Google page.
You can also do at anytime a "service name scam" (replace the service name with the service's name you want to check) on Google, Yahoo or Live. If in the first 20-30 results are posts which states somebody has been already scammed, you can learn that its very likely that it is a service which conducts fool play. It's said likely, because sometimes there are websites which tries to ruin somebody's business by forging false statements about good services. It's another form of blackhat(ish) practices.

I used to sign up to services to test them whether they are scam or not (and I usually posted the results on Devoracles when found something).
In the country where I live I can have as many Visa cards as banks are and I have one card which is always empty. I fill it up only when I know I will spend it, always with the sum I want to spend and this way I can't really be ripped off with sums I didn't give my consent on. My luck is that the bank I work with (Raiffeisen) informs me on every charge request and this way I can learn whether a service wants to charge me with more than I was aware of. Pretty cool system

I've tried the above and it is deffinately a scam, in the sense that it is offering readily freely readily available info at a price.
Seriously if you want to make real money on the web try http://www.treasuretrooper.com/495758
No joke I've just recieved my first check for $78. It takes a while and a little effort but it is possible to make some cash.

Hi Chrissy

Sands, check with your bank/credit card company, it may be possible to recoup that loss

This is a scam - other sites they are using are emillionaireinstitute.com and Google Money Tree amongst others plus hundreds of fake blogs.

The premise behind this information is most assuredly not a scam - they are just describing affiliate marketing. I run a small search marketing company and most companies are absolutely clueless about how people use the web. There is an absolute dearth of talented search marketers and I actually welcome the possibility of some random dude coming in basically off the street.

Is the info worth it & the rebills legit? Probably not, but there is at least one of these google-cash-type offers that is legit. I won't say which one, but I did read the early version of it back in 2004 which was what was the impetus from me wanting to be a guy that owned an online golf shop to being a guy that helps companies (and myself) make web searchers/shoppers' lives easier. I was that guy who came in off the street.

Self-taught is actually where my company got all 7 employees we have right now. There are very few educational opportunities in this field that are worth much according to the resumes I get from job seekers and from the average syllabus I peruse on (allegedly good) b-school sites.

So perhaps most of the offers in this field are garbage & it does come off rather disingenuine but the basics behind it are solid and for a person who doesn't know what they don't know - a product like this could put them in the right direction.

Flame away... ;)

& to grantardo - you're right. Google makes 99% of their income off advertisers bidding on adwords, yet nobody's making money and we've been burning sacks of cash for years. Ad costs are too high. It's all a scam.... lol.

C'mon now. There are entire swaths of the market that don't even advertise on adwords. We represent companies in all kinds of markets but some are making a literal killing because it might take them a year or two to rank organically for a particular term. But... they could bay $0.10 a click and be #1 on adwords. Granted those markets are a bit harder to find but but they're a lot easier than you might think.

Most of the affiliate marketing/biz opp/pipe dream type materials out there are geared toward more commercial and well-known markets. But, what if you did advertising on a performance basis for a company that sold a needed service for industrial companies. There might be some advertisers but most of them are inexperienced, so you blow them out of the water in a couple months. How much could that be worth? Depending on how your site works, that could easily be a few grand a month profit and once you have the campaign rolling the only thing you need to do is keep testing so you stay ahead of the competition and keep finding backup customers in case they flake out.

So I guess the real answer to if this is a scam is partly the product's value which I discussed in the last post, but also the mindset of the person searching. If they want to make money for nothing then they will probably be disappointed. However, if a person has a couple ounces of drive and can retain a little bit of knowledge then this market is wide open for a ton of profit and opportunities. The only reason people talk about this stuff isn't that they're giving away some kind of secret knowledge but rather they know there is no way they could ever capture all the opportunities, so they cash in on whatever part they can... and if they're too lazy to hash out some deals with companies to do well in a non-competitive market or battle it out against killer marketers in a competitive market, then they sell information... either well or not so well.

k2rev,

I've read both of the recent ebooks, the information covered in them is available for free all over the net, plus, if you also use AdWords you know that you can't use hop-urls, the ebook states you have to use them as this is the only way to not have a website where you advertise the affiliate products.
Secondly, when I signed up, (on the official site and an affiliate as well), I payed the small sum, which is shipping cost. Then next month my card got charge requests for a rather high sum, from both websites. This IS a scam because I was never told that I will have to pay more thna what is advertised on the websites.

You'll find a heap of resources and articles on Affiliate marketing - including Googlecash and GoogleCashDetective (both scams) on this blog of mine http://www.

Like a couple of other people here, one facebook ad led to http://tomsjournal.com/tomslambo/?t202id=1544&t202kw=
which led me to look into get rick quick scams. And just to add a little fuel to this...

Look at the supposed 'paycheque' from Google.

The dollar amount in words is One hundred six dollars and twenty five cents.

Then look at the dollar amount in numbers. 27,433.16. Garbage this is...

Here's the easy answer. Just scroll to the bottom of whatever page your looking at that's advertising one of these Google money maker schemes. Here's what was at the bottom of a page that was headlined as Google Profit. I arrived there from a link in Facebook.

Google Easy Cash - please read the terms and conditions and you will get your answer. If you decide to pay the $1.97 shipping fee for their "free trial" software, you are also authorizing the same credit card to be charged $135.92/month for three different services. $72.21 is monthly membership and there are other two programs you get for the rest (which you may cancel).

I noticed this ad about a half an hour ago, and almost paid the shipping and handling immediately reacting off of impulse...don't do this. Something told me to get the number to Google Customer Service and just ask them about the legitimacy of this profitable business under there name, because the story of the rags to riches guy goes back a couple of years, but when i checked it out the first thing i noticed was a 5 minute timer. now if this has beec succesfully around for several years, why do I only have 5 minutes to submit my credit card number. Not to mention it's saturday and Googles Customer Service would not be available until monday. Upon further review through Google search i came upon a site titled " is Google Cash Kit real"... I got my answer. Thank you everyone who posted thier comments before i did. You confirmed my suspicion and saved me alot of money I don't have. The most disturbing thing about this whole thing that almost fooled me was the site this ad was posted on. I found it as an ad on ESPN's home page. I'm disgusted with ESPN, because they accepted money from a scam company to advertise on their site without either researching the company or just not caring how many of their fans get scammed.

The Google Cash is a scam!!! and whst I am doing is clicking on the ad they have on ESPN a few hundred times daily because they pay for the click so I figure they are scaming people so why not cost them  a few bucks everyone should do it run them off.

What it comes down to is this, Google didnt authorize it so dont use it!!! Did any see or hear anyone from Google say "yes, go make money" whether they talk or dont talk on this site doesnt matter, what matters is that they will talk if it is their baby and this isnt!!!!!

OH, and as for "Easy Google Cash" - the terms are on the first page, before you sign up.  They clearly state that they have recurring monthly charges of over $50.00.  It is also clearly stated that it is a negative option - you have to jump through hoops to ask them to stop charging you for two 'free' services, but because it is present in the terms - it is Caveat Emptor.

Hi I hope this helps. I ran across the add Making Google Cash and signed up for it using a prepaid debit card. They charged it the $2.17 and since they got the payment i haven't heard from them since. I tried to pull up their site and it keeps saying ERROR. I THINK THIS IS A SCAM AND DO NOT CONSIDER IT.

Recently online there have been a number of people promising that by paying a $1.95 USD shipping fee for their free kit will make you large sums of money with google within the first 72 hours and sometimes even 48 hours. The fact is that making large sums of money with google within 72 hours is almost impossible due to the face when you do apply with google the processing time google requires is at least two days. When google does approve the application you then need to start developing a landing page that is relevant and a popular global search. These earn with google kits are simply guides on how to go through the entire process and they attempt to fool you with there elaborate but clear Terms and Agreements.

currently theres 2 google money systems. 1 is a scam, were you do some simple stuff and u pay and yh, but there is a hard to find 2nd one, were they send you a package free and it says about how to make money from adwords, its hard to find from the swamp of rubbish about google cash or google money, but there are som good sites that give you mostly FREE advice on how to make money from google adwords, tho you do need to own a website, but they arnt all scams, just dont send off money, they most likly are scams!

I do not agree with the so called Google Cash Program. It is a scam. On my website I expose Traffic Coleman as the scammer he is. If you want to really make money online visit http://sponsoredgooglelinks.com.. It has a lot of info on how to do so with affiliate links and with your own site. Check out my site for a lot of your google questions.

People these "Easy Google Cash" fake blogs are all scams and illegal. The checks are fake, the testimonials are fake and the personas are fake.

Whatever you do, do not give them any of your contact details or card numbers!

When you come across these fake blogs report them to the Attorney Genral of your state and to the FTC (links below)

Anything that sounds too good to be true, simply isn't true. Period. There are only three ways to get rich:

Ah Carp! I wish I had "Googled" this before clicking the send!
And getting rich... well you can get rich selling Amway or doing a period schemes or strong-arming old ladies into buying water softeners. Depends on motivation and lack of ethics. ;p
I was looking for simple at home income. And was careless because I'm getting desperate.
Just because something sounds too good doesn't mean it is a scam. My Mother has used that Lemko guy's material and Grant Research Assistant with success.
But the pages I was on were very misleading.

First the "local" on facebook ad. I assumed it was like my boyfriends side business, you can add and Ad to your region.
Dude talking on how he made it big. And it sounded like he was a spammer with auto stuff, but if you can use it on Google I figured it was legitimate enough.
The link he provided  was called GoogleKit,  then directed to EASY GOOGLE CASH which had a different name in the address. THREE pages.. my personal info and my bank info and the YOU BEEN HAD page.That third page is where I woke and smelled the manure! None had terms of service (I screen shotted each) or contact number. Had blah blah not affiliated blurb, but did not say what state or even country this thing operates out of!
And though it said save this page on the last and third last page (unless you count the loading bar page that make sure you can't click back)? It had no info.. a blank fuzzy box where a confirmation number should have been!
That is when I got a chill.

Then... I came here.
And called my bank as I typed this!
Even as I was trying to prevent the debit, they were fast at debiting my account as A1MEMBER Services for that 1.97 (which I would have said fol and money parted if not for posts here saying the debit further fees and services!)
And they were fast to emailing my membership link as yet a different company name. An affiliate in spamming carp? And it was asking to be unspammed and added to my safe list.  um...NO?
So now I have to dispute the 1.97 to prevent further claim and close that card.
The worst thing.. it is not like you can shut these bozos down or even report them so they are not allowed to take up valuable bandwidth with their carpy misleading Ads!
Atty General  is not likely to help. They can't mess with Interstate stuff.

Carp!
The last redirect was too late too stop. Stupid AD.. worse thing is I wasn't actually clicking on it.. it opened when I was taking my curser to a Desktop Folder on that side of my screen

Guess I had to get mine for being so snide about others gettin burned. Karma.. she is a bee yotch

wow im sorry you have all had such bad luck with easy google cash. i have been posting links for google for 2 weeks now, and already made 6,523.21 dollars. its so easy i just work maybe an hour a day, if that, and i get over 2,00 dollars a week!

remember to vote obama!!

Is google cash a scam? Yes it definitely is, google cash scams have existed for some time. The google cash scam is the newest addition to a long list of scams and is appearing all over the internet. They go by several different names such as google cash scam, googlecash, google money tree scam, google kit scam, make money with google and the list continues. So I am sure a lot of you out there are wondering how to make money with google and if it is possible. Well the short answer to that is yes it is very possible, that is if you are devoted into to putting the time and effort in to make money with google.

Do not give a penny to programs offering to make you money with google not even shipping.

 

Visit http://www.google-cash-scam.com to learn how they scam, watch videos that expose their websites and learn the process to making money with google.

Perfect example: http://www.los-angeles-daily.com/finance/index.php?t202id=82311&t202kw= If you go to this page it looks legit, as if it is a newspaper article, but if you go to just http://www.los-angeles-daily.com/ see what you get - a blank server page. That is DEFINITELY a scam.

It is a scam... plain and simple. apparently you have to give them your credit card number for that $1 charge but the thing is their numbers can't be reached to cancel the subscription so now they have your number and just keep running it up. furthermore i tried to find where it was said to be reputable by google, cnbc, abc, etc. And of course no luck. YOU CAN'T JUST GET RICH DOING NOTHING, if you could why would they tell you.

This may sound stupid but if google makes millions heck probably billions off of advertising and they haven't allowed this "easy google cash" to advertise with them it's probably not legit and anything that makes you pay to do something I would be leary of and never ever give your credit card info!  

Wow.  Always so many small-minded people chattering about every time a business opportunity exists, legit or otherwise.  "It's a scam as far as I'm concerned".  Who cares what you think?  If you don't have any proof then do us a favor and hush.  So much fear and timidity.  Be sensible, do your research, but if your default response is like this every time then you'll probably never get anywhere.

Hmm... I haven't used it myself, but I have read some reviews from those who used these "Google Cash" programs here -

And the Shill's have arrived !!!

RE:"Perfect example: http://www.los-

It is my opinion this is a SCAM....Ok, so I almost fell for this one....actually signed up and three minutes later I called and canceled.  The following is the site/page I was taken to when I wanted information on this GoogleCash thing: http://www.national-news-gazette.com/ , and the links at the bottom of the page take you to an error page.  I did get a confirmation on the cancellation, however, I also followed up with my bank to ensure no charges would come out of my account. 

Good job guys, i would not call it a scam, i just think they are exaggerating the thing.
i own 3 videos sites with adsense, after running the sites for 3 months i got my first check from google for $101

I would have to say that yes this is a scam. You pay $2.99 to receive this expedited electronic package directing you to sign up for a domain name through Just Host.com. However, in Just Host.com's Terms and Conditions, here is what they have posted:

 

Resource Usage

User may not:

Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.

Notice the last sentence. User may not: Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / ....) on shared servers. A real business would make sure to research their partners or those they are referring their customers to and make sure they are allowed to operate on that site.

When going into the site, you find out that it is through a website called YourBlogProfits.com!. When trying to locate information on them, when you type in their name to search them, various websites come up. This one was the one I clicked on: http://www.quantcast.com/yourblogprofits.com. However, when I tried to search for yourblogprofits.com it said:

Sorry, we don't have enough data to profile yourblogprofits.com

This was after you click on the link provided by the search engine which takes you directly to what looks like a profile for this web page.

You then have to click on view website to get to this website:  https://www.yourblogprofits.com/  which state the following at the bottom of the page:

You must be 18 years old or older to order.
† The New York Times, Yahoo, AOL, ABC, USA Today, CNN, MSNBC, Forbes, Time Magazine, and Google do not sponsor, endorse, and is no way affiliated with Eco Marketing, LLC or this promotion.

This too was after they plastered the logos of all of these companies on their web page.

Here is a website that better explains these sites: http://electronplumber.com/google-money-scam-affiliate-sites-the-full-list/

I hope this helps!! This costed me $3, hope it saves you more.

 

Also, if you want a domain name, go through GO Daddy.com, they have been around for sometime and they also offer hosting.

Finally, Adsense is free through Google and Google will pay you for people visiting your Blog Page (which they also offer free) and clicking on ads.

The recent link that I received: http://the-newyork-tribune.com/finance/google-now-hiring.html :makes reference to the New York Tribune which unless the name has been since reused as a publication has been out of production since 1967. The article on that link clearly states that Google is the sponsor and that Google is the hiring force of this program yet in the disclosure agreements it states that this program, the pages and all other parts of the program are not affiliated with Google in any way.

My 2 cents: This is a scam much like the cell phone text spammers that tell you to give them your personal information because your accounts have been closed.

If you waste your monies and disperse your personal information for this I can only ask Darwin why you still breathe.

Please help!!  I am very concerned now.... I am so silly... I just paid for the Google Cash kit after reading the news article on online LA Financial News!!!   http://lafinancenews.com/?t202id=63976&t202kw=2lafingeo39

I can't believe I have fallen into a scam!  I saw names of Google, "as seen on" AOL, CNN, USA Today, etc on the news article and thought it was legitimate!  I must be a bit separate trying to bring home some money!  Very sad and concerned now!

Google Cash already has my credit card info.  What can I do now?  Thank you!

Be certain to read the Terms of Service and every single page that is linked to from any of these sites. You may be surprised with what you find there.

If you do sign up for anything, please print out any of the "fine print" that you may be asked to agree to as you place your order.  In some cases, you may not be able to "find" that fine-print later.

Always remember that just because the "Google" name is inappropriately used in the names of many of these offers, does not mean that Google is associated with them in any way.

Even though they may clearly state that on their pages that they are not associated with Google, you still need to carefully evaluate any offer so that you are not caught by surprise if your credit cards  or bank accounts are charged unexpected, recurring charges.

@Chris Carpenter,

Chris as I understand what you said:  You are the founding father and all the scams and scammers are clones that others have built around your original system and have given you a bad reputation.

I'm not going to post any of the more inflamatory links, people can search your name +scam and research it for themselves [beware that some are just clever advertisements, please read several of the results].

The first reference link below describing why your system is unlikely to work today, I think the author is extremely generous in his evaluation your system and even states that at one point in time, several years ago, you may have actually made quite a bit of money using your system.

The second reference is a Google Blog, I'll quote the most important paragraph from the blog:

"To be clear, we are proud to say that many companies and individuals do legitimately make money placing ads on their websites with Google AdSense or participating in programs like the Google Affiliate Network. Creating a successful website is hard work — successful sites earn their money by writing compelling content, developing useful applications and maintaining vibrant user communities. Any claim that you can skip all of that and make just as much money by posting links, using a secret system, or running a kit to generate websites should be treated with a heavy dose of skepticism."

PS: I'm Sorry, but that is one of the more "tacky" looking websites I've ever seen [Friendly Hint: please consider paying a professional web page designer and get something more aesthetically pleasing].

@Chris Carpenter, If you would like to give an interview (which arrives in Google News, of course) and explain what happened, I'd be willing to write an unbiased, objective article.

First of all these ads have so many RED FLAGS it is unreal...THINK about it...If you were making $15,000 to $30,000 a week as these ads claim would you be desperately posting an ad to tell everyone about how THEY can do it? HECK NO  you would be too busy placing those ads at a mind boggling speed to get a bigger check next time...Another point to ponder: This is exactly HOW they are making THAT money...If they get 7,575 people to get on board and JUST pay the $1.97 WAH LA...$14,922 and some change...I think that is all they are looking for because noone ever seems to GET the info they paid for and if you do it is just vague info that you can get for free all day long on the web...
( who is going to hire a lawyer to collect back their $1.97)  so the matter is dropped and those theives get their free $1.97...They use a low amount like that because psychologically it works on people because they reason to themselves that they won't be losing much if it is something that won't work...and curiosity almost always gets the best of us...  YES  any time I see that my credit card info has to be given out, "CLICK",  I can't get out of there fast enough...LOL     Also, any time you see these LOOOONG drawn out ads that go on forever trying to convince you that "THIS IS THE THING YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR" , I am sorry but you just wasted however long you took to read all that...PLEASE  DON'T BE FOOLED>>>>>>>>

2centsworth: Thanks for posting your 2cents here. Just so everyone knows, I got their GET MONEY FAST ad from a Porn website. And had to Google to find your guys chatting about it. See the difference?

Hey everyone -- great discussion here. Thanks so much for all your efforts to educate yourselves and one another about these harmful scams. The growth of these schemes is an alarming trend, and among other efforts we're making to combat this abuse, we recently participated in Good Morning America's special report on the topic of work-at-home scams:

Thanks,

This is what is on the main page of one of the programs for 'Google Cash', in the fine print of course.

Is a scam cus they take cash outta ur card each month and relies on you making more than their 79.99 that they charge plush the website cost plus other costs, so have to have people clicking on the adds hundreds of times a day to make the cash to sustian any profit a month, so you loose money most months, DON'T DO IT

I first read about GoogleCash on a website that was mentioned in a lecture I downloaded from iTunes U. The website itself is run by one of those self-proclaimed guru's that like to put there own photo on there website. I generally am skeptical about those kind of people that run those kind of websites, but the fact is was mentioned in a legitimate lecture made me trust the content more. Plus, the guy writes same things on his website that make common sense and doesn't charge for it.

These unscrupulous individuals are making money, by ripping people off, using the GOOGLE name.  I don't know how to contact the right people at Google, maybe some of you do.  But it would be wonderful if Google would put a banner type ad on the home page, both Classic Google and iGoogle, alerting people that there are numerous Google Cash type scams out there along with the ABC news link that Jaime (Google Employee) posted.  

Not only is it a scam, here is a video that explains exactly how they scam you. They will start charging your card $70 every month.
