Google filed a lawsuit against Pacific WebWorks and other unnamed defendants for allegedly using the company's name and colorful logo to promote fraudulent work-at-home money-making schemes.

"Thousands of people have been tricked into sending payment information and being charged hidden fees by questionable operations," Google said in a blog post on Tuesday.

I wonder if the affiliates that are being banned were using Pacific WebWorks programs?

Finally! I am wondering why it took them so long. While back, I spent, one hour trying to explain to my grownup kid why it is "the sucker is born every minute" fraud.

It was not easy because I would get repeatedly a respond like "but look Dad, how it can be scam if Google is sending them money; look at the image of the check with Google Logo!"

Hopeless! How can their legal department be so slow?
