Google Money Tree and other Make Money schemes – Be warned!!

I have seen a spate of offers entering my Inbox lately … one of those (received many times) has been promoting Google Money Tree.

All these offers are very tempting, promising $000’s income per month by following a formula.

Now I am sure that there must be a system somewhere, but I remain quite skeptical that anyone would want to share that formula with the rest of the planet rather than milking it themselves. If you spent $197 on every offer that came along, then you would be completely skint.

However, Google Money Tree asked for only $3.88 to reveal the formula … that’s only a couple of pounds you may think; for that amount it is definitely worth a look … and that is exactly how I felt.

But something didn’t ring true. I actually had some IT Training given by a different, but similarly named organisation – ‘Money Tree’ that shared a similar logo. Alarm bells were ringing.

However, being a canny Scotsman, I did choose to read the T&C and what I saw shocked me. Buried within the T&C was the an acceptance that you would be billed $73 as a monthly subscription. So instead of paying £2, you could be paying £00’s on a recurring credit card subscription.

When I saw that, it raised the red flags and a short search on Google revealed that many had been duped into paying and then fighting with Credit Card companies and banks for a refund.

Remember that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is and approach everything with skepticism. Check for reviews of the ’system’ and buy that ’system’ based only upon solid research. I am sure that there are systems out there that will work, but to date I have never seen them.

Sure there are folk that show you their Pay.com (clickbank or whatever) cheques showing how their system has generated massive income … but STOP!!

Where has that income come from?

Chances are that the massive income has not come from USING the system, but instead they are showing you how much money they managed to fleece from GULLIBLE people who bought into their system and never made a penny themselves using the so-called money making machine.

Have a look at the income column … 9 times out of 10, it shows repeated income for $xxx that just happens to match the cost of the product that they are trying to sell to you. My suggestion: if you see a system showing how many $xxx sales they made and inviting you to pay that same $xxx, then walk away … it is one of those fleecing schemes. They haven’t shown you how the system that you are biuying will work for you, but they have shown how many people have been gullible in the past.

Once again, I do believe that there will be good systems out there, but the majority will be useless.

Treat the Internet like the Wild West and be on your guard … read everything twice or even three times over. Also carry out a due diligence of any claims and look for references on other sites (especially those sites without affiliate links … they don’t need to inflate the promises).

There is money to be made on the internet … just be sure that you aren’t throwing yours away to a charlatan! and help them make their own fortune!
