Well I wonder if you're not on the hook for $94.89 a MONTH... here are their terms and conditions I just looked up.
Your free trial begins once you submit our order form. Your free trial is for 7 days. During this time you can see our wealth of content, videos and books. If you are not satisfied, simply cancel and no charges will appear. If you are satisfied and want to take control of your future on the 8th calender day you will be billed a fee of $94.89. The $94.89 is a monthly membership charge and will continue to be billed every 30 days until canceled. At the time of purchase, you understand that the initial $1.99 fee is a non-refundable one-time charge for instant delivery shipping fee of the trial offer. No refunds will be give on shipping fees.
I also just read their refund policy here it is...
The refund and money back guarantee will be issued to customers that have used the program for three months or at minimum 88 days and are not satisfied with the results. A refund will not be issued before your three month risk-free period is completed. The money back guarantee is for customers that actually participate and try the program and are not satisfied with the results after the three months or 88 days.
I hate offers like these that bury the real deal. Good luck!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
You know what's so funny is how so many people actually believe these kinds of scams. Like are you guys that thick headed to think that your going to make $5, 000 a month to sit on your a**hole and click on links all day? Who in their right mind would want to pay anyone to do that... not to mention there the amount of people who would rather be lazy and believe that they can get paid good for doing virtually nothing. News flash, you actually have to work to make any kind of money, otherwise why would someone pay you for no reason, so stop balling that you got ripped off and your in a contract that is hard to get out of and that your not getting paid for the work that your not doing. Grow up, get a real job, maybe even a better education, or hey maybe make your own website and actually sell services you can do yourself or products you can make, and next time you see one of these scams, don't even bother with it, and if you are so sucked in to thinking you can get paid for doing nothing with your life, at least read the fine print. Come on people, get real!
anonymous1212, I'm sure that you've fallen for a hoax of some sort as well. Everyone makes mistakes, and clearly everyone wants a passage to an easy way. Don't you? I mean, you don't walk to work right? You drive there. Or if you're some teenager who is just pretending to act like an adult, I'm sure your parents or relative drives you to school.
First, you are getting signed up for three things! yes there are three different companies that are taking your money from your account on a monthly basis.
You can get all of your money back. You just have to ask. They might say something like we have already given you your first months back...ask to talk to someone else and ask again for your money back. All of it will be refunded.
The other two companies you get signed up for are: Identity Security which will charge you 9.95 a month, and fraud protection which will charge you 4.95 per month. You can call both of these companies and get your money back. Just keep asking for all of it and they will do it.
here are three numbers.

Too Easy, Too much money earned, I really don't believe all the testimonials that I read, I could right a testimonial and have people believe it. There are so many earn easy money without doing a thing but for two or three hours a week, just do research on it before sending any money to them. Research might take an hour or two maybe less but will save you your hard earned money. Someone needs to find a way to scam the scammers. Wouldn't that be rich? Who would they complain to? Just remember no such thing as EASY MONEY!

Kevin Hoeffer even manages to be advertised at the Real Estate Information and Public Records Research at:
http://publicrecords.netronline.com/dir.aspx?StateID=11
when you open up the ad, there is a site that looks legit, with governement look & feel. I can't believe in State Sites this scams are allowed to go on.
Some more news stories on this scam are starting to appear:
"Another site run by "Kevin Hoeffer" follows the same formula with an image of a cheque, bogus testimonials and a phony story about how Hoeffer lost his job but was now earning thousands of dollars a month "just submitting small texts and ads online on Google".
Google runs an AdSense program allowing publishers to earn revenue by placing advertisements served by Google on their websites, but said these scam sites had nothing to do with the AdSense program.
A spokesman for Google said the search giant's legal team was reviewing the scam sites and would "take appropriate action as necessary".

FOLKS PLEASE HELP ME!
I am living in London and after I read all that I think I am "scammed"!

But I filled the application form for Easy Cash with Google...The thing is that I am foreigner (originally not from UK) and I have a difficulty sometimes to understand EXACTLY and CLEARLY as you guys...

Please can you help me...I couldn't take it anymore if something REALLY SERIOUS happen to my only bank account and my life!I AM STUPID for taking that "offer" serious and as a chance to secure my family and to take my life back...Please help me!

This is a big scam, now reported on by MSNBC news

Also see this thread for advice and more info:
This is so BS. I paid $1.95 for the "KIT"? NOPE, There was no info on the site other than people testimoning how great this was and how they made so much money and how easy and simple it was.. I was so pissed when I saw $47.00 take out of my account without my permission and not even getting anything at all! There is no such thing as a free lunch, but sometimes we hope for one.. MY BAD!
Here is the number I called to cancle, I was on hold for about 15 minutes. Nancy did it for me. Mind you I never recieved anything..
[protected] or googlesupport@emillionaire.com I thought because it was Google that it was legit..
FOLKS ALWAYS READ THE "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" Normally, these scammers put the link on the very bottom in a very unassuming fashion because they hope that you will be so excited by what they said you can make that you will just input your credit card info. After all, its only $1.95 or whatever garbage they make up to charge you for to entice you out of your credit card info. That's really the bottom line. I got to this site by first reading the "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" CAREFULLY, then I "googled" them and found this complaint forum.
Dont ignore the "Privacy Policy" links on these pages also, they seem like they are generic (generic fonts, formatting, overall look, etc.) but sometimes contain "valuable" cancellation instructions that you would otherwise miss because they bank on you not wanting to read all of the "crap". I spent ZERO dinero on this site because I searched out the links on it that I mentioned above and read the fine print.
hy i need help please!What is the LOGIN link for :earnfastcashwithgoogle
i signed up and i payed but how i get into my account!please waiting for answer!?!big regards

If you signed up for this.Cancel it now [protected] and REPORT YOUR CREDIT CARD STOLEN. its the only way to be sure your information has not fallen into the wrong hands..Very scary ..I have learned a big lesson from this..
cheers
Wow, will wonders never die. Amazing, the American economy is falling faster than PeeWee Hermans' career did, with the worlds' economy following due to economic bail outs and such, and still some worthless sack of baboon feces is still out there trying to make a buck off of those that are on the verge of foreclosure, reposession, eviction, etc. I think we should find a way to scam them...Actually one bettter, this is the digital age, all their information is stored on a computer, and all the money they scam from us, is more than likely being transferred to an offshore bank account probably located near europe (Cayman Islands, bermuda, etc. are now actually monitored by the IRS) why not just find a hacker and have them wreak havoc in their system, Sorry watched hackers again last night...it's a geeks classic. Who are they going to complain to...they were transferring money offshore to avoid paying taxes, therefore Uncle Sam won't help them, and even though only a few people would get the money, atleast we'd have the sweet taste of revenge. Now I did not fall for this system, almost did, but been scammed once, I don't trust any system that says, "WORK FROM HOME, MAKE $XXXXXXXXX, BE YOUR OWN BOSS, ETC." I read them like the CarFAX commercials read car ads. New Upholstery, means flood damage. This is almost like John Becks "Buy for pennies on the dollar" or Charleton Sheets "No Down Payment" or SMC "Be your own boss"...the list keeps growing, and most of the time they are recycling free information you can find online. Oh oh oh, another favorite, "Pay us to Find you a United States Postal Service Job"...Don't, I got family that are USP Inspectors, all government jobs are listed for free on the net, you don't have to pay anyone are call a number.
Now some uptight guy, posted something ragging on the lot of you for believing in this system, saying something along the lines of you think people are going to pay you a few thousand a month to sit on your ### and do nothing...no go to school get an education, work hard, yada yada yada...ummm, dude, one you have have a small member, and two, we pay CEO's millions of dollars to do exactly that, sit on their butts, play golf and do nothing...oh wait, I forgot, we pay them to lie to us.
To those that due wish to attempt a get rich quick system, heed this advice, be smart about it, and don't always trust reviews. But this is what I would recommend to do...since these little bogarts want credit card information, be smart about it. Go to the local Wal-Mart (okay it's 2009, Wal-Mart is everywhere), or walgreens, etc. and spend the $4 on a prepaid visa card, load it up with the money they want at first and give them the information. Also set up a bogus e-mail account on Hotmail, Yahoo, G-mail you get the picture, and use a P.O. Box for you address. If they can't ship to a P.O. Box, you know its a scam. Here's what happens, they get your information, they then sell it to third parties, but...card says CHARGE DECLINED because of lack of funds. You wait for the product to arrive, but but, it doesn't why not, because of the $40 charge they wanted to charge you, but Card said DECLINED. And when the letters start piling up in you inbox of reasons they can't provide the information, let the e-mail account lapse. Hold onto the card for 2 months, nothing will be charged to it (it's prepaid, no money, no charge) and then try the next get rich quick scheme. Using the same bogus information you supplied, as far as mailing, credit card, e-mail. If it's legit..you're golden, if it's bullcrap, well that is the fun part. Mister Scammer counted on the money he was going to steal from you, but he was denied. Now you can sleep at night, knowing yeah you might be out a few bucks, but no sleep lost over worrying about the cancellation of a scam.
Hmmmm...I think that should go into the Anarchists Cookbook: Scam the Scammer Vol. 1...
Well best of luck to you all...
The Jester
Thanks for the info...whoever it is, knows how to market. I hope they go the way of Madoff...
I totally AGREE with The Jester! I'm glad and very relieved that I took the time out to do my research on this so-called business opportunity.
You should ALWAYS READ the fine print and if you can't see it on the front page, then look for it - especially when these so-called companies are requesting you to disclose your personal information and/or credit card details.
We live in a society where, it's common knowledge that we are educated and made aware about the risks and consequences that may occur when dealing with a business or company which operates by way of requesting us to disclose our personal information including details of our credit card - and we have all been warned to proceed with caution. It appears to me that, not everyone listens to this nor do they take this advice either!
Hence why issues relating to identity fraud and/or credit card theft should not be overlooked and be taken seriously by everyone. Having said that, I'd like to ask you: When was the last time you checked the acitivities listed on your credit card statement?
I'm certain that many of you will agree with me, that, if you had to pay $100 or $1, 000 you'd think twice about handing over the money, disclosing your personal information and credit card details but more importantly, you would also consider the risks involved as well! So why should it be any different with $1 or $10? It's still our hard earned money!
For those of you that did get sucked into this scam, I have alot of sympathy for you - your lack of and inability to protect yourself so as to avoid wasting all that time & effort and the frustration of dealing with what followed becuase you neither cared nor even bothered to set aside the time to read the fine print to find out what your contractual obligations were.
I hope that you will learn from this unfortunate event and that in the future, you are more cautious with disclosing your personal information to any party, company or business. I also hope that you're able to get back all of your money as well.
I totally AGREE with Dani! I'm glad and very relieved that I took the time out to do my research on this so-called business opportunity.

Doing a little research on LUCKY STRIKE EXPLORATIONS INC., they seem to be a legit business listed with the Secretary of State in Nevada. However, what they are doing is a scam, although, probably technically legal.
The listed officers according to the Secretary of State of Nevada are:
CHRISTIAN J. PRIEUR
12012 STANWOOD DR
LOS ANGELES, CA [protected]
[protected]
And
MICHAEL NOBLE
711 S CARSON ST STE
CARSON CITY, NV [protected]
Although, this last address is probably a fake address.
And of course their listed address of business:
4240 West Flamingo Rd. Suite #201, Las Vegas, NV 89103
Hope this helps.
I saw the ad on CNBC. You'd think you could trust them. Luckily I read the fine print and saw that it's a scam. I notified CNBC and I received this reply:

just found another site like the ones everyone is talking about with this Kevin Hoeffer guy
http://www.kevinlifeblog.com
It sure looks legit. Glad I googled it to find out.
Here are the numbers to cancel with EarnGoogleCashOnline [protected], the number for FraudProtectionresources.com is [protected], the number for PreventMyIDthef.com is [protected] with this number I got a hang up when they transfered me I called again and got a person on the line. Make sure you write down your comformation numbers and get a name. the People with FraudProtectionResources.com gave me the numbers. The PreventMyIdThef.com say they are connected with the FraudProtectionResources.com but call everyone any way and write down your conformation numbers and names of the people you spoke with and save for future references.
Call your credit card company. It sounds simple but if you never received a product that you paid for, it is the credit card's company to protect you. As a vendor, In order to receive payments from clients through a credit card, you must have an account set up with that credit card company with a contract to provide all services you are bound to. That said, just call visa or mastercard, dispute the claim, and they will refund you and get the money from the vendor.
i got scammed as well how do i get the money back. i have called everyone but no luck. We should all put a petition together and nail these people and try to get our hard earned cash.
Is anyone considering a class action lawsuit agaist those running this scam? Are they really tied to Google or just posing as a Google related company? I cannot believe that if Google was actually tied to this that they would support these swindlers. I am a lawyer here in Wi with several hundred people who have communicated to me this year alone about wanting to go after these criminals.
In the meantime, do not pay anyone even a penny for advice on making money doing anything. If they really are making boatloads of cash then why would they need your hard earned dollar. If it smells like ### it must be ###.
this is the first time i fell for this crap but i called my bank asap because this only happened a day ago...these people harassed my phone all day and i tried calling them back, it instantly hung up...if anyone knows anything else to do besides what's been posted please let me know...
Ok they got a new scam site running lol ->> http://www.marysmoneyblog.com/v/index.php?t202id=4983&t202kw=ad11
They retained the last name Hoeffer but the details are the same. Big scam 1.97 shipping charge only and rest free. But in fine prints you have to pay 71.26 after 7 days for monthly service.
So ya WATCH OUT in the near future. I felt soooo stupid for falling for this scam. I guess these scammers are clever in using google as their catch phrase. I didn't even hesitate lol...I mean for god's sake it's GOOGLE!
Hi Guys, I am another stupid person that has bought this scam. I live in the UK and can't get through on any phone numbers provided. If anyone can help please it would be much appreciated
Come on people...CRANK UP THE BRAIN ENGINES! Research E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G before you sign up for it! I don't care if these [censored] bags say they're only going to charge you a measly $1.95; still do the R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H!
Sheesh people...seriously!
i came accross http://www.craiggetcash.com clicked from a facebook ad i think.
Amusingly, i was googling to see if anyone had gotten arround to putting the information that they give up on the net for free yet - partially due to impatience, partially that i was unwilling to give my address to any website online and mostly cause i had no intention of using the information; was just interested in how people could make $5k from posting links into google. The too good to be true thing struck me here; but i know that there are companies based around SEO techniques that will pay for this kind of thing. ($5k a month did sound a bit much thou, they usually pay $50 ish a month)
Anyway; after coming accross this site i had a poke at their site. - seems the comment form does NOTHING at all; much to my disapointment. but i did find this: http://craiggetcash.com/images/ it has a php source file in there and a few redirects to different places. Poking at the other site that it redirects to; it uses an interesting anti-fraud system that manages to capture a digital fingerprint of your computer and send it to the server. This is done without informing you of the fact that its gathering said information - There may well be some legal recourse against the company for gathering this information without your permission for anyone who has signed up and is having trouble canceling/getting a refund, this may allow you to put abit more pressure on them.
NOTE: none of the above information was gathered by cracking the website(s) All i did was read the html source and googled a lot of stuff.
I saw a documentary called "Idiocracy" where people with no skills or education were getting paid mad crazy money for doing hardly anything. Here is a picture of the money they used. http://www.underconsideration.com/speakup/archives/idiocracy_money.jpg
All of those fancy colleges out there better get real because the days of needing any form of education to get paid are over. Awwwwwwww-yeeeeaaaaahhhh! Ungh-huh!
lol just got the latest popup add of this sort, it now comes with a fancy ### voice over from all the money they must have made from the last one.
NOTE TO EVERYONE: a company like google, or any other reputable company would -never- ask potential employees to fork out cash especially petty amounts like $1 in order to work for them. just think if your going to work for them, you will make them money so why charge $1 in the first place.
secondly a company as big as google will never have solo affiliates advertising recruitment for them. they have a website which virtually every single internet user uses on a daily basis from which they can adveritse job opportunities and they do ... just go to their job section and see.
the whole scam is in the fact that all they ask for is a mere $1 when you could turn that into $$$$$$$$ once you have payed. this is fishing and it is not alot from one person but when millions of people fall for this ... you get the picture.
haha, im willing to bet this is some fool who has been on some basic web page design course with the intention of a get rich quick scheme, whilst these kind of scams are always popping up i must say this is a particularly crafty one which plays on our confidence and trust in google. google should have this shut down and have the people responsible taken to court.
i loved their comment box at the bottom of the page... which clearly doesnt send your comment to anyone, or anywhere :D
funny thing is if they had said ok you need to pay us $30(a standard price for a software package) for a specialist bit of software that allows you to upload links onto google, i might have given that popup some credit...
as it was, a company like google asking for $1 in shipping for software... (that if it was real could be downloaded from googles very own server anyway)
NO NO NO !. that scam is so obvious it hurts to know people have falled for it :(.
no i want to tell you the worst thing, it was advertised on facebook, i mean what the hell... facebook is a pretty legit site as far as im concerned, almost in the same ranks as google itself.
