Kevin Hoeffer – The supposed Google King

by matt on September 11, 2009 · 2 comments

This guy is fleecing everyone he can for all the money he can find. He is in bed with BizKit in a Flash 2009 and Your Profit Gateway. I will be researching this to see who is behind it. But they are promising you can make money with Google ads. So we have the truth part, you can make money with Google ads to an extent. In fact I am currently using Google AdSense at the time of this post. He is promising a free “Google Home Business Kit” which is a link off to another site which is the one that is going to take payment.

This is a supposed risk free trial for $1.99 shipping and handling charges.  However the Terms and Conditions say that your 7 day trial starts the moment you place your order. Which means more than likely you will not get your supposed kit before your 7 days runs out. Once your 7 days run out you will be billed $79.90 a month unless it canceled by you.

Here is the earnings disclaimer “*Earnings Disclaimer – Your level of success in attaining the results claimed in our materials depends on the time you devote to the program, ideas and techniques mentioned, your finances, knowledge and various skills.”. Wait that means if I am broke I wont make any money because my finances are not as  high as others. This does not sound good to me, what about you?

I have heard that there is also a signup for some other program at the same time that you do not know about and is not told to you. This program is a Grant Program to help your children get in college supposedly. Now there is mention on Kevin Hoeffers website of a program called Cal Grants. I do not know what the deal is with this.


He of course claims that its as seen on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CNBC and of course As Seen on TV. I am betting those as seen are just the channels the infomercials have run on.  Now one thing I really don’t like is the money they claim on the splash or entry page looks like a promise but the fine print where you put your credit card number says that you wont make anything for the most part.

On the website down at the bottom step 3 claims

“Google will start sending their first check to you in about a week or two. Or you can start to have them wire directly into your checking account. (Your first checks will be about $500 to $1,500 a week. Then it goes up from there. Depends on how many links you posted online.)”

Do what? I am pretty sure this is not how it works. This will be a fun one to keep following  up on. We will see in in the later posts.

I fell into this scam and $80 got debited from my account which had only $100, for not canceling my subscription. I never got any mail for canceling the subscription or any notification about the amount that will be deducted from my account. I am a student and I don’t have any job and hence no money for my living expenses. Please let me know if i can get my $80 back anyhow. :’(

Sorry to hear that at this point I am unsure what you will be able to get back from your bank. The first thing you should do is contact the bank and have them issue a new card. You can also try to dispute the charges and see if they will refund the money.
