I would like to thank Tara who is one of my readers for emailing this question about Easy Google Profit. I figured since I have done the research, I might as well share it with everyone.

I have found so many "work at home opportunities" that do not pay much money and if this one is true, the income potential is more like what I am looking for. I just don't want to send away for yet another bogus informational packet/CD on how to make money on-line that is not legitimate. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated."
This is what I found out about Easy Google Profit.
When I clicked on the link within the usajobnewsdaily.com article, it brought me to a website called recessionproof360.com. I googled it with the word scam and came up with one hit. You can view it here: http://iblogaholic.com/rambles/easy-google-profit-scam/ (This site has an excellent explaination as to how the scam works). As for "Easy Google Profit" if you google it with the word scam, you can come up with a lot of information on how it is a scam. This is the Better Business Report on the company:

My advice is that you should stay far away from this offer.
This is from recessionproof360's Terms and Conditions.

Wow, that is a lot of money to be taken from your credit card every month. I can not stress enough that if it sounds to good to be true, it is. Their ad promises that you can make $209 to $943 a day. I have to tell you that there is no work at home opportunity out there that will pay you anything near that kind of money. For me this is an instant telling sign that it is not a legitimate offer. And just because it has Google in its name does not mean that it is part of Google,Inc. Google has its own ad programs that have nothing to do with you doing posting for them.
If you are already an unsuspecting victim and have given your information to this company along with credit card numbers, you may have a hard time stopping the reoccurring charges that they will hit you with. You will want to notify your credit card company immediately to have them stop any charges that might come out from the company.

How oDesk Works - an Interview With CEO Gary Swart
I had previously posted information about work at home freelance opportunities at oDesk. I found this video on YouTube that is an interview by David Berlind at the Web 2.0 Expo, InformationWeek with CEO Gary Swart. I thought maybe it would help explain how oDesk works.
