It's about Time

CNN Money --
Google today filed a lawsuit against Salt Lake City-based Pacific WebWorks, which is an application service provider and software development firm for allegedly using Google's company name and logo to promote fraudulent work-at-home moneymaking schemes.

these advertisements or spam appear in various places around the web when people are searching for items such as "work at home opportunities", and also appear in e-mail.

In 2008, the Better Business Bureau received over 3500 complaints against work-at-home companies, including 382 complaints regarding Pacific WebWorks.

Google commented the other names that users should be wary of are:Google Adwork, Google ATM, Google Biz Kit, Google Cash, Earn Google Cash Kit, Google Fortune, Google Marketing Kit, Google Profits, The Home Business Kit for Google, Google StartUp Kit, and Google Works.

when you see these ads, they're very tempting to sign up for them, especially if you're in a financial crisis. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't take the time to do any research on these companies and then fall victim to them.

I'm very pleased to see Google filing a lawsuit against the company and hopefully any other companies that decide to use their name illegitimately, and hopefully will send a message to these people that pray on others in that it will no longer be tolerated.

I can only hope.
