Google Profusion Delusion

Scam

Scam

If you’re a Facebook lurker, beware of this ad that says “Mystery Shoppers Wanted”. Although mystery-shopping is a legit job like anything else from plumbing to selling Blue Advantage, the website to which this Facebook ad was linked to has nothing to do with mystery shopping the way I knew it. The ad’s content is all mystery and yes, more shopping too. These sleazebags are out to get their hands in your credit card account and rip off your hard-earned money.

Here are the reasons why I think the website Google Profusion and the supporting testimonial of someone named Rosario Bautista are both scams:

1. Their Facebook ad is misleading. I.e. “mystery shoppers wanted”.

2. When you read through Rosario’s testimonial, it’s too good to be true. P480k a month through Google links? Are you kidding me? I’m a legit Google Adsense publisher earning not even $50 a month from Google ads posted on my site.

3. The website “Google Profusion” does not explain how you earn those staggering amounts. It’s all vague. You get paid for posting links? Whose links? Where do you post it? Do they give you a website? Why would Google do that when it already has Adsense? Truth is you can get Google’s Blogger account for free and sign-up to their Adsense also for free. So why pay to get a job?

4. Rosario Bautista’s page is the only page in http://onlinesuccessblogs.com/rosariobautista/blog/?t202id=32738&t202kw=phms-8. Click on the site’s homepage and all you get is a blank page. There were no links to their success stories published in CNN, New York Times, etc.

5. They only pay in checks. Why is there no Paypal option? Most of my legit online jobs uses Paypal to transfer payments.

6. Google has nothing to do with it.

7. Lastly, read what those who got suckered in say about their experiences.

I already request for my card to be blocked and replaced to stop any damage from me. Hope this post can help others. I have learned my lesson. huhuhu….

  7. good thing i havent tried it, i was so skeptical after reading the ad from the facebook. but then i tried to browse again, and i got scared because i was about to enter my credit card number.

  8. gosh! i almost ordered. it’s good i made a second thought and searched around for topic

  9. I also read the success story of Rosario Bautista just today. I was skeptical too because I don’t want to give my credit card number and I am familiar with Paypal. I was also wondering why they only accept credit cards when Paypal is more secure. Good thing I was able to read this because I am looking for a homebased job. Can you give or suggest any website where I can look for legit homebased jobs? Thanks.

  12. i am also a victim of this scam…good thing only 184 php was taken off my account since i cancelled it right away…this would be a lesson for me…whoever posted this in facebook, hope you’ll get a dose of your own medicine…

  13. i was reading about the success of rosario bautista,quite interesting but then not so sure when i found this site.pls pls pls anyone give me some ideas on where to look for a safe homebase job,thanks and god bless.

  14. Too bad. I guess that is why its out of the ads already. Was really expecting extra income. huhuhuhu!

  15. yeah, i was about to submit the form, that was last october.. i read rosario bautistas’ success story but found out that she blocked those unwanted comments. so i got curios about it, but then i have this urged to signed it anyway coz i really needed money. thankfully, i asked for my credit cards’ last number from my husband and gave me a wrong one and ended re-directing me to the link that explains the “how-to-fill-up”.. thanks for this comments..
