US Government Grant Scam Free Money From The Government?
After writing and constantly updating Is Working At Home The Next Gold rush Scam? I thought I’d better fill you in on another scam I ran across recently The US Government Grant Scam.
There are no “charges” for real Government Grants
The government will never charge you a fee to process a grant, or any other application. Also the government would also never require you to provide vital financial information over the phone. Someone claiming they are going to give you money but first they need to charge you a one-time processing fee should raise a lot of red flags.
The US Government Grant Scam is much like the Google Work at Home Scam. The website entices you to apply for the ‘free’ CD. It claims that the only cost to you is the shipping and handling. You need to read the small print to get the real story. The ‘terms’ page let’s you know that what you are actually getting is a ‘trial’ into this scammy program. The day afteryou pay the shipping and handling your credit card will be billed an additional $57 dollars and viola your trail period is over.

From the arbitrage heydays to the modern era of CPA affiliate products, top internet marketers are always looking a step ahead, and are always looking for the ultimate advantage.
There’s one aspect of internet marketing that attracts its fair share of controversy and discussion. It’s link cloaking, and the discussion is around whether it’s really necessary for affiliates. For those who don’t know, link cloaking is simply a visual disguising of affiliate links, leading the URL to appear as an in-site page or part of the blog, when in reality it’s an outbound link. Cloaking involves creating an alternative link that re-directs to the Affiliate site without showing up as an affiliate ID to the person you promote to
Why is this so important to affiliates? Well, let’s have a look.
