However, the problem has not gone away – the menace continues.

How Internet Scammers Get Attention
As you will know, websites LOVE to be seen. We LOVE lots of hits! It’s a kind of fame thing if all you want to do is shout and be heard; it’s a life or death business thing if you need to make money from your visibility.
This much is obvious. But as I’ve trawled the dark side, looking for more filth like:
- Google Treasure Chest
- Google Money Kit
- etc
…it’s become obvious that fifth columnists are at work! How?
Try these google searches:
- https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=google+treasure+chest+scam
- https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=google+treasure+chest+ripoff
- https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=success+university+scam
- https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=success+university+ripoff
- https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=carboncopypro+scam
- https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=carboncopypro+ripoff
Okay. You’ll see that I’ve done two similar searches for each of the three operations:
- Google Treasure Chest (GTC)
- Success University
- CarbonCopyPro
Google Treasure Chest
If you examine the search results (first page only!) you’ll see that GTC returns a load of obviously bad things about them, including my post, google-treasure-chest-its-a-scam-and-a-half/, which set the ball rolling for me all of er.. 19 days ago!
Success University and CarbonCopyPro
Success University and CarbonCopyPro have a lot of results that purport to be investigations and ‘the truth’ about the organistions. There are a lot of actual ‘truth revealed’ about the ‘scam’ going on these websites. You think “oh great, now I can really find out what’s going on..”
Now check the videos!!!
You’ll discover that these are shameless plugs to continue the pyramidal building of these MLMs
It’s staggeringly successful when you consider it!. Like a spy in the camp, what they’ve done is squeezed themselves to the top of the Google rankings in both good and bad terminology searches! So if you want to find the dirt on CarbonCopyPro, add it to the words ‘scam’, ‘ripoff’, ‘fraud’ or suchlike – and there they are! Go in and check the link, and it’s a plug! If you want to find good things about CarbonCopyPro, do the same but mix it with ‘success’, ‘wealth’ or ‘professional’ or ‘winner’ – and there you go! It’s another plug!
This is the proof of the Scam Double-Bluff
Like in a game of poker, the many faces of the schemer wins each time.
Google Treasure Chest Scamming Plug
Of course, our old GTC friend isn’t without some similar scheming…. Pay a visit to,
workathome-scams.com
‘Mike Taylor’ in this beautifully worded webpage says,
WARNING: If You Do Not Read This Webpage You May Get Scammed!
‘Mike’ recommends two ‘schemes’ with his ‘brutally honest opinion’, as he calls it, from all the horrible scam schemes out there. These are,
- Google Money System (warning bells going yet? SP!)
- Process Rebates
Google Money System takes you to
securecartcenter.com/Nzg3OHwxMjF8Mjg5NTIzfHYy/m2qem4b9/g
…which is our old friends at securecartcenter.com again. So the number one recommendation is the number one scammer. Can you spot a connection?
Process Rebates
This second ‘recommendation’ needs special mention and is a firm warning to the gullible. You are redirected (naturally) to,
processaffiliaterebates.com/index2-control-25feb.php?caCode=AFFREBATE&p=0&caid=14849&cid1=0&cid2=1261&cid3=0&cid4=False&sid=&stID=67&new=1&subid=CD51354&misc3=-CD51354
A WHOIS reveals that they are ‘protected’ by Whois Privacy Protection Service, Inc. From spammers, they claim, although it’s an ideal way for spivs to cover their tracks. You’ll also see that 97% of site vistors are from the USA…. more of that later.
At the website you’ll find a nice little lady yabbering away in the bottom right corner of the screen called Diana DeAngelo. Fill in the boxes with some garbage and you’ll be taken to an even bigger spiel and even more wordy words. Be careful. She’s seriously got ‘the voice’ – like Saint Bob from BandAid. It’s a nice homely American accent…. I could feel my pockets automatically emptying themselves under some strange volition.
But before you plough ahead and hand over your $157, check down at the bottom at the various disclaimers etc. Try processaffiliaterebates.com/disclaimer.htm
You’ll discover that the business is based in Nicosia, Cyprus and all your dealings with the company will be governed by Cyprus laws.
They mention this elsewhere in the reams and reams of clauses on this and the ‘Terms of Use’ page also. They don’t say whether it’s the North or the South… Now I’m not against Cyprus or anything, but would the spiel look as convincing coming from a natural Cypriot called Stavros? Here I’m reminded that one of the biggest business scandals of the last 20 years was Polly Peck and it’s Cypriot owner Asil Nadir. He even owned Del Monte at one point! (he say yes!) Since his prosecution, Nadir has fucked off to Northern Cyprus (Turkish) from where he cannot be extradited. The border between the North and South of Cyprus runs right through the middle of… yes you’ve guessed it… Nicosia!
So you have to ask yourself,
…in which part of Nicosia is processaffiliaterebates.com registered?
Because if it’s the north, which it most probably is, the laws there are considerably different to the rest of the world, no matter how much Turkey wants to be part of the European Union! And remember, 97% of processaffiliaterebates.com’s hits come from the USA, not Northern Cyprus.
Intellichat
Hopefully you’ve spotted the shit flying by now, or have at least smelt the aroma. As you attempt to close the processaffiliaterebates.com webpage, a message from an attractive young lady pops up. It looks like you can chat to a real person….
No you can’t. Type in ‘hi’ as prompted and you’ll get some automated sales pitch. You can type various things in and a few sensible sounding answers pop back. But the clue is in the link to the people who’ve made this javascripted tool, https://www.intellichat.com/
Like in Terminator, the robots are taking over the world.
