Google Wealth Connection

Yeah, this stuff is pure junk. It's a shame that they are able to use the name of Google in their own "scam" in order to make themselves seem more legitimate.

Sort of like the infomercials that will makes you millions just sitting back and throwing up a website that you don't even have to maintain, or the real estate ones a few years ago, or the stock market ones. It's just the next wave in scams, be glad you recognized it before it snatched you up.

Oh, and here's some ore funny stuff about these kinds of sites. As I was typing this answer, I got a pop-up saying that I ran out of time, and I need to sign up for the program now! Oh no, only 46 more slots open! I better hurry, or else they won't let me join! NOT!

Here's a very important thing to consider before deciding to invest in something: Are you helping them, or are they helping you? If you pay them close to $80/month (as one of the answers in Yahoo said), that means you need to make at LEAST that much every month just to BREAK EVEN. That means you need to make roughly $2.67/day in order to get back what you put in. They claim you can make over a hundred a day, but I'm not so sure about that "fact."

This site, WebAnswers, is one of the most honest sites when it comes to making money as far as I can tell. They straight up tell you the whole deal before you even sign up: You win a question, you get 60% of the profits for one year. You don't pay a thing to them (although you can think about it as them technically taking 40% of what you earned for providing the web space and traffic, but I won't get into that).

I'm assuming that the Google Wealth Connection is a ploy to tell people they can make money from ads on their site, as long as they get traffic to them. Then they stretch out the amounts each click gets on the ads. Some of mine here only get a few cents, so I know that it can't be all that much.

Oh, by the way, I've seen several sites look EXACTLY like the one that was provided in the WebAnswerPro site. Just under a different name. In fact, I answered a question on here based on something that looked exactly like the site, but I can't find it.

Bottom line: Don't do this. The secret to making money online is to have someone pay you for something they can get for free. You can get Google ads on your very own website or blog, and just have to pay $4-6 a month for the site. You don't have to rely on a service. Just do a little bit of research, and you will be well on your way. Heck, use Google AdSense if you want, it's easy and it pays. Stay away from this kind of stuff, though.

Almost forgot to add:
Oh yeah, and that recent "check" that Kevin was so nice to brag about and show to us... is dated back in October 2008, while he wrote his answer on April 10, 2009. Most recent check? Yeah right... more like that's when the scam company started and took the picture of that check.

All of these little things start to really add up into making this so fishy, you'd think it was out deep sea fishing for the past few months.

Thanks! Still interested in more input! Joe B

(And, how do we know that check is "legit"or that the amounts on it are actual?)

Okay. I just copied, enlarged and cropped the Dollar amount area. This is not necessarily definitive, but look at the Date (2004) and the check amount ($500.) Obviously, b th were printed on the same day, using the same software, right? The "0's" are quite different. This could be an indicator that the $5000 amount was added afterward, specifically to show a larger than actual amount.

Well, to be honest I think the check is a mute point when it comes to this, but...

I thought it said 2008 on it. It doesn't matter if it was 2008 or 2004, though, because it still makes the guy's story not right. Yes, I suppose you could defer your checks to come in every couple of months or whenever, instead of every month. And I suppose you could ask Google to send the checks in even $500/5,000 amounts...

The second zero on the 5,000 (or 500) does look a little bit different, but this isn't uncommon when you blow up pictures so big past a reasonable point. And, it also looks like the whole amount looks redone if you look at the bigger picture in it's original size.

With all of that said, I still would say, though, that it really is just small stuff. This whole program is just silly, and I hope not too many people fell for it, although I'm afraid that they have. Like I said before, they are using Google's name in their own, so they get that whole "big business that's publicly traded on the stock market" or whatever Mr. Keven wrote down for us to read.

At least the word is getting out, if nowhere else, on here, that this program is something you want to stay away from.

Oh, and just in case people are wondering why the first link doesn't work in the original question, the moderators made the .com into _com, so WebAnswers wouldn't have a direct link to them. You can go there by just copying the address and make it a .com. Websites that want to protect their users from "bad" or "malicious" pages usually do this. Not that WebAnswersPro is one of those types of sites, but the subject matter on this particular page is questionable.

I agree. My point was basically that the entire dollar amount line might have been phonied-up, which is one reason the "0's" in the dollar amount don't match the ones in the date, which would have been printed on the check at the same time. I mean, how hard is it, really? to make a check for $3.43 become one for $5000? Just a little white-out on the check, or even more likely some Paint Shop, and you magically have a realistic-looking $5000 check for display!

Hello everyone. This is definitely a scam!

On August 4, on the site titled WebAnswersPro.com I found the question posed by "Marie 09" asking "$4,800/mo with Google, can anyone tell me if this actually works?" This was followed by a glowing endorsement from "Kevin". Everything was dated August 3, 2009 which made it super-fresh! I was intrigued but was heading out of town for a week.

This past Tuesday (August 11) I again went to WebAnswersPro.com. Amazingly, the exact same question was posted again from "Marie 09" with the exact same response from "Kevin"... except it was now dated August 10, 2009!

Obviously, this is a fake question and answer posting which updates itself weekly to entice you to part with your cold cash. Translation? Avoid at all costs!

Thanks for the input! Remember that this link (shown at the top of the page)

http://webanswerspro_com/computers/internet/google/

must have the _com changed to .com to make it a live link. You would have to copy and paste it into your address bar and then make the change. (Thanks to vrpoc for pointing that out above.)

I have a generalized personal policy when it comes to any internet promise of untold fortune: If it's that good, they wouldn't need to lure you to them, you would be breaking down their doors to work for them. The media would be ablaze with news of this new-found wealth. Therefore, whenever something like this pops up on the internet, I ignore it. The overwhelming majority of these schemes don't pass "the smell test".

I didn't get a lot of good advice from my father, but something he once said has always stuck with me: "You can't get something for nothing."

I was skeptical at first, but then I tried Google Wealth Connection® and now I'm a believer!


Just kidding folks. It's a scam.
