Google Income Library?



I was just about to check my email when I saw this online news line link about a woman who was making a lot of money from working at home. I was curious about this since I also have a Working From Home blog as well! So I decided to take a closer look at the article.

The online newspaper article was about a woman who was making money at home using a program called "Google Income Library". It seems both she and her husband were laid off from their jobs and they were looking into ways of making money online. The article also said that they did get scammed by a few of those online work from home sites.

But it seems that this "Google Income Library" program was working very well for them. The article had a picture of one of their checks which was for $5,000.

This looked very interesting to me and I went to the site to find out more about the "Google Income Library" program. I was dismayed to find out that even though this program is advertised as a free program you have to pay a shipping and handling fee which means that you are going to have to give them a credit card number.

This was a warning flag for me! So what I decided to do was to look into it even further. Every related site that I went to says that this program is a scam - mainly because it is not affiliated with Google in any way. I also found out that if you are thinking about signing up for this program then you should read the fine print because when you do sign up for this program you are getting trial memberships and you will have to cancel them or otherwise you'll be charged additional money per month!

What really freaks me out is that this online article was part of an online newspaper (from New York) which looked legitimate enough for me and I was almost thinking about signing up for this program! It is a very good thing that I decided to check it out first!

Instead of providing a link to the online article, here is a link to one of the sites that discusses how this program is a scam!
