I blocked heraldnewstoday.com from showing any ads on my website. I think I was on either TMZ.com or an Associated Press-hosted site when I saw the tell-tale “Mom makes $87/hour from home” scam ad, so I clicked on it so I could find more info about the scam to warn people not to fall for it.
And do not give these people your credit or debit card info! But if you did, make sure to cancel and report it as fraud to your bank or credit card company.
“Angela Thompson lost her “boring” job as an account rep for a manufacturing company a few months ago. She now makes $8,000+ a month by just submitting small texts and ads online on Google,” reads the scammer website, pitching something called the “Home Profits Using Google” scam kit that leads to the same old “Google Home Income” scam.
Looks like the scammers are getting greedier — on the Terms and Conditions page of the “InternetRichGurus.com” page they are taking $129.95 fee from people, plus $39.98 monthly:
Here’s the text from https://www.internetrichgurus.com/103109/?subid=200041&subid2=50519&hitid=671218986:

The scammers are getting greedier — the one I wrote about previous to this post were taking around 200 bucks.
Ridiculous.
Any website running ads for HeraldNewsToday.com needs to block them asap.

Oh my Goodness, I almost fell for it! Thank you so much for setting me straight on this Google scam to post links and make money. My husband and I are both disabled and are living on next to nothing. I thought I could do this from home and be able to pay “all our bill” for a change instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul. I am good on the computer, so thought I would be perfect for it. Wow, Thanks so much, almost screwed up!
