Work At Home For Google?

If you're ever surfing CNN or Yahoo just to check the local news, as I was doing today, you'll notice a pop-up that comes up 'Google Pays You to Work at Home' or 'Google Work-At-Home Starter Kit' - if you want to waste your time, then click on it.

There seems to be an ever increasing number of these pop-ups, advertisements and alleged television news-trusted and supported scams in relation working at Google from home. These are ALL scams. Think about this: Why do you have to send $ to for a work-at-home kit? Shouldn't the company who are working provide this to you for free - if you're really one of their employees? Was their an offer of employment letter provided and you fill out the necessary tax forms to have taxes taken out of your paycheck? Chances are, you are NOT an employee of Google.

Google does have programs where you can make $ from posting their ads on your website and blog and these seems to legit, however you have to sign up for their programs on the official Google website - not from a pop-up advertisement.

Beware of work-at-home scams where you have to put in your personal information such as your credit card#, banking info, name, address, phone, etc. You will be constantly plagued with unwanted, solicited, spam in your email inbox and unwanted phone calls. An additional danger is monies being deducted from your checking or savings account.

Below is a link from the Google Support regarding these specific 'Google-Work-At-Home-Scams'.
