Thanks for the warnings on this. I thought it looked far too good to be true!!! I saw an ad on topcashback with this link: http://www.sams-money.com/?tr=gtr&tr2=728&gclid=CNb9we3O_5oCFQE43godBEk0aA Sounds like the same thing.

I would have thought that Google would have objected to people using their name as part of this. It's the use of their name that makes you think, even for just a moment, that this might be ok.

Thanks again for the warnings, I'll give it a miss.

Yes, I'd also looked at this some time ago. IIRC, there's a 'free' sign up trial and you give your bank details but can supposedly cancel these at the end of the trial. However, from what I remember there's some tiny print underneath the sign up form which allows them to take some money anyway. Sorry the details are a bit vague, but having checked it out myself and read various scam warnings, I'd advise to steer well clear.

Yes, this is a widespread scam and once they get your credit card details (by asking $1.95 or similar small amount for the 'kit') then say goodbye to your credit card as you get hit with all sorts of charges. The information they send (if they even send it) is worthless and trying to contact them to cancel the various monthly payments is apparently almost impossible.
