As huge corporations go, Google’s a pretty cuddly one, but according to the search giant itself, everyone should be careful about offers of employment or wealth that involve its name. “Google Money” scammers represent a growing problem that the company is trying to combat.
A post on the Official Google Blog announced today, “Despite hundreds of consumer complaints and our own efforts to keep these sites from tricking people, some scams continue. To fight back, we’re working to stop various fraudulent ‘Google Money’ schemes, and this week filed suit against Pacific WebWorks and several other unnamed defendants.”
