    I just wanted to let people on this site to AVOID Google Chest at all costs. Its a SCAM. Im sure most of you have scene these ads on this site and others. Where you can make up to $5000.00 a month by posting links for google...
    Well they get you to sign up for an informational DVD for $1.97 and what they dont tell you is that if you dont cancell with in 10 days they are going to charge your credit card $72.21. Cancel what, The whole scam is that they make you think that you are just signing up to get the dvd. There is NO mention of being enrolled in a club or anything for that matter. The whole thing is a SCAM.
    I have a "friend" who fell for this...yeah, a "friend". So I figured Id let people know since I have sceen these ads on this board...

    Don't google "google chest" then - all you get are drawers and body building men...

    No offense, but it sounds like your friend deserved to lose their money if they fell for something like this.

    As this a SCAM and in no way is affiliatied to Google , I wonder what action Google is actually taking over it?

    I wouldn't mess with Google-- there's no place on Earth you can hide from them.

    I figured Google Chest is what happens when the guys in the Google Earth car get bored.

    Thanks for the heads up! And I'm sorry for your "friend" who got scammed by this. I've seen these before on google.com as well. They seem too good to be true if you ask me! That's how they sucker you..by making you pay for a DVD..then charging you more for it. It's ridiculous!
    It's like those car warranty phone calls that I used to get. :rolleyes:

    Too bad for your friend, man. Tell him/her that most of us fall for a scam at one time or another.

    All your friend can do is put the insight aside for a rainy day.

    Well, My friend has already called the bastards up and apparently they are taking the charge off. We'll see.
