Would you believe it?
There I was, minding my own online business, when an awfully familiar looking ad popped up.
You can see it here: http://www.consumeronlinenews.org/finance/vca.php?t202id=91362&t202kw= (or keep reading).
Not only did it carry the masthead of The Australian (which I am 100% confident didn’t authorise the use of its logo on this affiliate ad), it introduced us to Kelly Richards. Hmm. Haven’t we met her before? You know, I feel like I know this work-from-home mum that makes a fortune in her spare time.
Determined to get to the bottom of it, I dug deep into my archives and voila! I HAVE met Kelly before. I feel like we’re old friends; our paths seem to cross all over the place.
Kelly Richards, bless her cotton socks, has made a fortune from EZ Money System, hot on the heels of the fortune she’s already amassed from the Home Income Cash System AND Automated Home Profits.
Boy, she gets around.
Of course, the big question is, IS EZ MONEY SYSTEM A SCAM?
It’s hard to say, says Reviewopedia.
“Well, it’s hard to say whether the EZ Money System is a scam, because at no point in time on their website do they even tell you what the EZ Money System is. Apparently, it’s one of a thousand systems that people are using to make money on the internet these days, but you don’t know if it is affiliate marketing, sales, multi level marketing, ad posting, mystery shopping, auction listing… The list goes on and on.
The EZ Money System is set up so that you must give TheSecretOnlineIncome.com your credit card number and allow them to charge you money before you can even see what their business is. Can you even imagine heading into an interview room and accepting a job from a company with no idea what your responsibilities will be, no idea what type of work you’ll be doing, or what your pay might be?”
Okay, so I’m gonna head out on a limb here.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, chances are excellent that it is, in fact, a duck. If it looks like a scam, smells like a scam, chances are excellent that it is, in fact, a scam.
Scamwatch, the Aussie government website, reckons that the only people that make money out of these schemes are the people actually running them. The suckers that hand over their credit cards, well, it’s a case of buyer-beware, ain’t it?
You should have read my blog before you parted with your money.
You are right. Dear old Kelly does get around. Not only is she in Melbourne but today 8th August she is also working her miracle in London!!

Kelly Richards from London never thought that she would, until curiosity got the best of her and she filled out a simple online form. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her three children.
I read Kelly’s blog last month and decided to feature her story in our local job report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. “I basically make about £4,000-£6,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home.
Looks and smells like real scam!!
Well spotted, Bob. Thanks for dropping by,
