Google Home Business Kit
In times of economic distress there emerges a plethora of hucksters, scamsters and snake oil salesmen seeking to take advantage of the least sophisticated and most desperate among us. Now that we have entered the digital age, most of these get rich quick scam artists have setup shop online.
The sad fact is that the only people who benefit from these so called “online business opportunities” are the ones who sell the bogus training kits.
Enter Google Home Business Kit.
The Google Home Business Kit bills itself as a turnkey solution allowing people to quickly and easily earn money online in their spare time. The companies that sell these bogus opportunities utilize shady and underhanded sales techniques. Flogs (fake blogs) are among their favorite.
A typical flog purports to be an objective source of information put forth by a disinterested party, however in reality it is just a sham marketing vehicle operated by the parties trying to push a given product. Obviously, these flogs contain raving reviews and sterling testimonials from supposed users of Google Home Business Kits who are eager to share with you their stories of making substantial money with just a few clicks of their mouse.
Example of a flog (fake blog) used to mislead people into buying Google Kits:
In addition to their notorious network of flogs like the one above, the wonderful people behind Google Home Business Kits also create fake news stories. To scum it up even further, they post these fake news stories on fake news sites – often misappropriating the logos of reputable news organizations. In reality, the truth surrounding Google Home Business Kits is the antithesis of what is portrayed in the myriad of fake testimonials currently found on every corner of the Internet.
In strong contrast to what is claimed by any Google Home Business Kit sales pitch, they actually contain nothing outside of what one can obtain for free on Google’s website. These “kits” are really nothing more than a box filled with hot air – minus the box in many cases. The companies hawking these worthless kits are obviously well aware of the true value of the nothingness they are peddling. All of the bold methods of deception they use to extract your hard earned dollars are employed in spite of your inevitable disappointment with the “product”.
Examples of fake news websites being used to promote Google Kits:
The come-on is to offer this scam of a product for a super low price. This “initial” price is generally just a few dollars in “shipping” costs with the product being free (and still overvalued even at that price). Hapless wannabe entrepreneurs figure they have little to lose and take a nibble on the bait. Once the Google Home Business Kit predators get a bite they ensnare their victim using a shady billing method called a “rebill” in the industry. This entails having the customer agree to disclosures (that are hidden in very small print of course) that they are obligating themselves to an ongoing monthly fee charged to their credit card. This charge is usually upwards of $70 per month.
On top on the “rebill” (technically called negative option billing) for the Google Kit, many consumers report being opted into other “services” that are billed monthly. So, they ordered a Google Kit thinking that they would only be charged a few bucks for shipping. Then they start getting charged monthly for that kit and are slammed with separate charges for other “products” they did not even know they were signing up for.
Many of those caught in a Google Home Business Kit net do not realize that these charges are being billed to their credit or debit cards until after they have been taken for several hundred dollars. Their hard earned money gets replaced by basic descriptions of the Google Adsense program which can be found on Google’s official website and many other real blogs for free. Making money with Google Adsense is certainly possible; however it requires much hard work and expertise. The marketing come-on of a Google Home Business Kit alluding to quick and easy money simply does not exist – except in the hopeful fantasies of their prey.

Yes. I was told about this “opportunity” from someone, I signed up because it was only 1.00 and if I wasnt happy with the program in 14 days, (I saw nothing about being charged more money it was probably in print that you needed a microscope to read) I could return it and get the money back. Well, about a MONTH later I received some software and some sort of rambling paperwork written in scam-ise, and my credit card had been charged 70 bucks.
I did manage to reach someone after several attempts, and cancel this bogus thing, that i still to this day, dont know was – and called the bank to get my money replaced, I write a blog busting the thievery and whoreness of California politicians, seems to me, these scams are precisely what they do everyday, they would make wonderful spokesholes for these “programs” I could see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a question mark suit trying to pass a tax.
This is a total scam and I fell for it. I was charged the initial $1.97 which I felt was fine even if I didn’t decide to do the program…little did I know, in the very small print that I would be charged $47.50 one month and $99 the next month. When I called the number, they insisted that it was legit. I called and cancelled my credit card so that I will not be subjected to another “fee”!!!
I also was taken in by this. I signed up for $1.97 for a free kit to be sent to me. I though I had read all the fine print but obviously I must have missed something. Now I have had over $212.00 taken from my bank account, have not received anything so I could not even see if I wanted this. So how could I have cancelled before the trial offer was ended.
I just saw this today in my bank account when it came up as negative balance. I have the company twice today and have been told their system is down but when it comes up they will look into it. I was also told that they would be leaving at 2:00 today.
I told them I want the money put back into my account plus the overdraft fees. I am sooo upset over this. I figured that because it was Google thing that it would be legit. Never again.
Thanks for the advice! I was just about to buy this kit! I knew it was too good to be true!
Thanks for telling me about all his. I did buy it but later canceled out when I was being charged 80 dollars a month.
thhanks for all the info I am glad I googled
gooled scams
What is the best recourse to get your money back?? I don’t remember, but I guess I fell for it also and have spent all afternoon calling these bogus companies cancelling their ‘Services” – of which there aren’t any – and cancelled my card. But what about all of the money i’ve already lost?
Hi, thanks a lot for the information as my daughter was just about to buy the kit, why doesn’t any one stop these SCAMS? surly there must be some law to stop them advertising as they are stealing people’s money in the day light, specially most of their ads they are using trusted and famous logos like BBC, CNN and SKY, why don’t they do something about it? As a lot of people don’t read the reviews on the Google before buying things.

Thanks for the advice because i was just going to buy it but then i read the terms and conditions and there was that added fee that people seem to miss, and i that it was strang that i also kept getting the same operator everytime i would come back to their site(Jenny).
Thanks to your post. I was just about to fall for that scam. I wonder though, why is Google let these scam flying around on the net. One would think that Google’s own reputation is at stake. With all the computing power available to Google, I imagine it would be relatively simple for Google to automatically catch and stop such bogus web site ?
