Want a few bucks? You may get fleeced

As the inflation becoming a global phenomenon and price rise on essential commodities eating away one's monthly budget, earning a few extra bucks will not be a bad idea. But how and what should one do to earn genuine extra income?

If you take any paper, advertisements to woo people to earn extra money, would fill in an entire section. If you search for online jobs or home-based jobs on the net, there are a lakh websites offering online/home-based jobs. Some promise 'no selling, no target' jobs, while some offer 'writing' jobs. Are they offering genuine jobs? Will anyone ever get paid through these offers? The answer is a million dollar question.

Don't ever relay on sites which offer online jobs with a premium. They may be fake. Check their credentials first before move further.

The latest to fleece the public is googlecashcow.com. From the name of it, anyone will assume that this site has connection with Google.com. You are absolutely wrong. They have no connection with Google. The phone number given in their site is fake.

They offer the job with a premium pay of Rs 1300 or $30 dollars pay through credit card. Ironically, if one pays the money, and gets their kit (which is a zip file), then the truth unfolds. If you are not a techie, you would find it difficult to unzip the file itself as it's password protected.

Their offer is nothing but a guidance to have a google's adsense account!

If one has a gmail or any other account, google offers a webspace 'free of cost' where one can have google's advertisements on it and get paid for every click the site generates.

But surprisingly, google runs googlecashcow.com's ads in their web pages also. So, be careful while going through the googlecashcow pages. Do not fall pray to their tricks. You can read the details from their site, which is very useful, then switch over to google.com and get more information from the horse mouth itself.
