I Caught Kevin Hoeffer Barbecuing at Costco - Fake News Sites

In addition to the fake testimonial pages, a crop of fake news websites are also directing people to the google cash scheme.

The article at workathometruth.com lists 43 more faux newspaper sites like the ones above.

Summary

And that's it! I didn't order the Google Cash Kit (Not affiliated with Google), but common sense tells me that if a company has to fake their testimonials, it isn't worth doing business with. Thank you, and I'll see you at Costco!

There goes THAT get rich quick scheme... next thing I bet you\'re going to tell me is that I don\'t have any rich dying uncle/relative or lottery/national winnings coming from Nigeria. I think I\'m going to sell dietary suppliments at outrageous prices... oh, wait.

Dude, you must answer all comments! ALL!!! Didn\'t you know? Another great article, Rob. Really, for all the fun and games at cockeyed.com, I think I like the service of these scam-buster articles the best. Keep up the good work, man.

Have I told you that I originally found your site while trying to prove to a friend that his multi-level marketing opportunity was not going to make him rich? He got involved with a company selling mangosteen juice. I showed him your series on Herbalife and he soon started looking for a real job. So thanks for going the extra mile to show the man behind the curtain for these scams.

Strange that Mary\'s money blog picture of their trip to France looks like Main Street USA at Disney Land. The Brasil shirt had me cracking up!

Post a resume on Craigslist and you\'re sure to get hundreds of emails with the same content. Ask me how I know ;)

I think I saw a site like these once, with fake comments. The reason for the comments being closed, though, was something like there had been too much abusive spam. Huh? Why would anyone want to spam these big-time winners?

Nice. The irony is your google adsense at the bottom of this page links to a bunch of these sites. I guess you can\'t expose them without promoting them a little.

the best part about your pages are the google ads for \"work at home\" and \"best home business\" and \"$40,956.05 in one month\" perhaps you should dump your google ads that are earning you money by bilking people out of theirs.

The only reason I found your blog was because I was looking into a \"work at home\" opportunity a few years back. I searched the name of the company and found your page on Herbalife. I\'m glad you\'re putting the word out there about the scumbots. And if more people stay to read the fun stuff you have here, all the better ;-)

I wonder if the tax man ever investigates his long winded claims of making thousands in a month.
