I was looking online at our local news rag and saw an ad for Job Gazette News so I clicked on it. Hey, I 'm always looking to better myself and my standard of living so I was intrigued when I saw a "testimonial" how a nice young man named Josh Shelby was "digging deeper in debt" and his "only way out was working online". I read a little further and, being the curious nature that I am clicked on a link that said "find out more". I was then directed to a site that looked like a cheap cookie cutter website and the head line read "Earn up to $209-943 a day", then foot note said "Thousands are using Google to earn quick cash with nothing more than a few hours a day and a home computer". I entered a bogus name and an old email address and clicked on the instant access button. From there I was directed to a page that wanted my Credit Card info but no further information was given on what I would be paying for but still thinking "it's only a dollar ninety - seven what could it hurt. But before I committed, I decided to research. BUT WAIT! My timer was running out of time! I didn't have time for research! Guess what? You can reset the timer as many times as you want to. So I went to Google and got their phone number and called them. The nice girl on the other end explained to me that the only jobs that are affiliated with Google in any way are listed in the employment section of the "About Google" page located in the Google Search Website. Folks, money is tight these days so I want to give everyone some tips from a High school educated, blue - collar Okie. #1. Remember what Momma used to say. If it’s too good to be true, then it really is too good to be true. #2. Never give your personal info to a website unless they have a telephone number listed on the website that you can call and talk to a live person, and especially a website that wants you to pay before they tell you anything about the business. And #3. If you really want to go into business, do it right. If you don't understand all the legal mumbo jumbo, don't be a hero. Get an attorney that understands small business and pay the retainer fee. $1500 is a drop in the bucket compared to $15,000 lost down the road with nothing you can do about it. He or She can read contracts and important documents for you and council you on the facts. Last, #4- Don't get Burned. Do your homework. Try to find out information on the company. Look on the Better Business Bureau web site www.bbb.com. Look at the scandal reports. Try using Snopes or Rip-off.com. There are alot of online scams out there. God Bless and Protect Yourself.
