Google Profits: Old Scam, New Approach

They designed a semi-functional website, with an article posted on 29 of November by a "well-intentioned" Anthony D. Cataldo under the Finance section. It is a material addressed to all the people that might be interested to work from home for "the online titan" Google.

The applicant is promised a good wage and a comfortable working style and all they have to do is to follow some simple steps such as Google Cash at Home ($1.95 for shipping, allowing Google to screen for serious people), Google Profits ($1.99 for shipping) in order to obtain an availability kit for the applicant' s area. Then a Google account is set up where the employer will send the tasks (mostly to post links).

"Anybody with basic computer skills will be able to perform these tasks" adding to that they say that "We understand the psychology of working from home and we want to give our employees tasks that are simple and easy, and reward them generously in order to keep them motivated."

According to the scammers, the payment will be made weekly, starting from $750 to $1,500 a week and moving up. At least this is what http://www.fu[removed]yb.com/dailynews/ proudly announces.

This scam wave is not only spread via drive-by spam messages, but hyperlinks to this "once-in-a-lifetime" offer have started to pop up on Facebook and Twitter.

While the previous scam wave involving Google Profit (which is under no circumstance related to Google) would charge subscribers variable amounts of money as monthly program fees, this new approach redirects the applicant to various medical offerings, especially products specialized in weight loss and body cleansing solutions.

In order to stay safe, BitDefender recommends you to never follow links included in messages from contacts you do not know, as well as to install and update a complete antimalware software solution.
