This is a site located in the URL [http://news8chicago.com]. It tries to fool you into thinking this is actually a news article from a credible source, like a Television station. The actual TV station URL for the Chicago news Channel 8 is [http://www.news8.net/]. This seems to be popping under advertisement and makes you think it is a legit news source but many people are falling for this scam. Snopes even reports this a scam and you should not buy into this legit looking website. The video on the fake website is Google Adsense people talking about how they can add Adsense to your website, the people who created this scam, seem to cut parts of the video to make it seem like they are talking about about the product in the fake article. Here are a few thing to think about before you do anything else:
Check the Terms of Service — Most of these website that are a scam will tell you in the terms of service what you will actually be charged after the trial period. Each site usually only gives you a time period that is unrealistic and gets your money before you have chance to cancel.
Get Rich schemes are always a good give away — If they claim you can get rich, then you can suspect that it isn’t real. I’ve learned from experience that it takes hard work and dedication to make money, but you will not get rich over night.
You don’t need to pay to get hired — Most companies who you have to pay to gt hired are scams. I also talked about secret shopper scams, and how you should avoid them.
I hope these will help you avoid these types of scams. I do sugget if you have a website to go sign up for Google Adsense and put that on your website. You will eventually make money but nothing like they claim on those fake website.
