Google suing scammers

Google is suing Pacific WebWorks and several unnamed defendants for running a scam selling work-from-home toolkits using Google's name. According to Google, people who signed up for the offer were hit with unfair reoccurring monthly credit card charges.


Google filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. federal court in Utah accusing a company of using Google's brand name in a work-from-home scam and slamming people with suspect credit card charges.

According to Google, Salt Lake City-based Pacific WebWorks and several unnamed defendants offered a toolkit for stay-at-home online workers. The toolkit is advertised as free, minus a nominal shipping and handling fee. However, Google alleges in the lawsuit that people who sign up for the offer have their credit cards hit with monthly fees and receive “little of value, or nothing at all, in return for their payments.”
