Google has take action against certain get rich quick schemes that have used Google's coloring and letters. These programs have promised to garner people money but then charge the user a hidden fee, all whilst using Google's name.It's estimated that 95% of these work-at-home programs that use Google's name are scams.

Ellen goes on to explain her feelings about how she's proud of Google for acting on these schemes, which I can agree with. We both feel that by using Google as a cover, these scammers can build a trust with the people who sign up for them because Google is such a highly reputable company that people will believe that the program is reliable, and then they suckle the money from there on. So hopefully these actions by Google will be able to stunt these scams in the works.
