I did a post on Kevin Hoeffer yesterday and decided to dig deeper on who this guy is if I could. I did a Google search for him and noticed that all the pictures are different. One of them is even found to be someone else who is trying to file a lawsuit for using the picture of him and his wife on a trip in France. There are several sites claiming to be Kevin Hoeffer all of them trying to do the same thing. Get you to sign up for a scam. Each of them shows a check from Google for various amounts, each site links to a different pay site. However it seems like several of them are using ItelliPay Inc certificates. (http://www.intellipay.com/). We will be contacting each of the providers to see if they support the scam and what can be done about it because it seems to be a violation of the Acceptable Use policy.
Important: We need people who have been subject to this scam read more here Call to Action on Kevin Hoeffer
It also looks like they will buy a domain run the scam on it for a while and then attempt to sell the domain. That to is a problem to me because someone will buy the domain and automatically be associated with a scam. That makes me also wonder if Anthony Morrison is doing the same thing he is also in the business of buying and selling domains. (This will be researched further as well).
These sites started with earnfastcashwithgoogle.com and continues from there. The agreement with that site is “Offer Details: Simply click “Submit” to the right to activate your trial membership with Earn Google Cash and have instructions to start earning cash through Google! To activate your trial membership to Earn Google Cash you will be charged a $2.95 refundable processing fee and then you can immediately take advantage of the exciting savings Earn Google Cash has to offer! After your 3-day trial period it’s just 9.95 per month for Earn Google Cash. Remember, you can chat with live operator by calling (888)-541-0915 within the first 3 days to cancel, and you will not be charged. To ensure continuous service, at the end of your trial period your membership will be automatically charged each month at the then-current membership fee on or about that same date to the credit card you provide today. If for any reason you are dissatisfied, chat with a live operator, and you’ll no longer be charged. You have also unlocked a fourteen-day trial and twenty one-day trial to the Fraud Protection Resource Center and Identity Theft Protection for just $3.24 and $7.14 a month thereafter (shows as “FraudProtection” and “IdentitySecurity”) should you choose not to cancel. Prior charges for all programs are non-refundable but bonus subscriptions can be cancelled and future charges stopped at any time by calling toll-free 866-989-2684 and 866-989-2683. All offers come with a monthly newsletter.” So you can see you will be scamed out of your money and will be paying for a while.
So my topic of Kevin Hoeffer is not making money with google is this, Kevin Hoeffer is making money from you if Kevin Hoeffer even exists and is a real person. These properties seem to be run by “CoastWest Holdings Ltd” which makes it even deeper because I can find more information on them and other scams they are running like Pure Lift Cream. Maybe I should drop the whole Kevin Hoeffer thing and look at only CoastWest Holdings Ltd as they seem to be behind the majority of this.
What do you think? Stay with Kevin Hoeffer or go for CoastWest Holdings Ltd. Kevin Hoeffer is probably a dead end really as we need to go after the real people behind the scams.
I changed the photo on the previous post because we are now unsure who that is. So its just better if we use a generic photo for all his posts.

CoastWest Holdings Ltd. is a company located in Cyprus which will be interested to research. I will try to dig more into it I also found another company COLEADIUM, INC which also seems to be behind some of this. I am curious to know if its a part of CoastWest Holdings Ltd.
hi matt,
just watched tony morrisons+barrets info mercial!
and googled u!
thx keep up great work!
i was going to ask , ive been looking for over a mnth now to maybe start a “online money making venture”.
but all ive been able to gleen under MOST key words, are scams!!
could you guide or point me in the legit direction ?
i dont want to be a scammer ,or even real big money,i just need something thats legal! and realistic! lets say $5k per mnth w/expected work?
i am a newbie to boot!
thanks-again for your feedback on all
dj
ps .go after all of them! they seem to be all crooks ?
pps. is there any money in finding these scams ? cause in the last mnth or so, i probably could have retired !lol
@dj
Thanks for the comment and the good words, as far as making money online well I do not feel comfortable pointing anyone to any particular business because that is an endorsement and at this point I have not found anything that I would be willing to endorse. Unfortunately, at this point no there is no money in finding these scams but it will save others money and that is what I am after. I make a little with Google Adsense on this site but not even enough to pay for the resources it uses.
I was just looking into this. Me and my biz partner run a flash games site and we’re trying to find ways to make more money. We use mochiads and google adsense which both are bringing in next to nothing- but that would be because we have not made a hit game just yet.
I know adsense is legit because it’s directly related to google, so that’s what raised my suspicion. Tons of people use adsense and I have never heard of any such “product” google offers. And believe me, I think they would be mailing them to us since we use one of their services.
@Alan you are correct, this Biz Kit or whatever they are calling it this week is nothing more than a kit that tells you go make 500 sites put AdSense on it and wait for your check, it works nothing like that.
As you can see I use AdSense on this site so I know AdSense and related. Also the routing numbers on the checks they show in the photos do not resolve to any bank.
For those who are not aware, Google has no connection whatever with any company except their own. Any one who tells you they are somehow connected with them is pure BS. Just one of the flags you can read or listen for.
There are two ways to make good money. Research and hard work.
These scammers remind me of the saying, “There is a sucker born evey minute and two to fleece him.”
KEVIN HOEFFER IS A FRAUD AND IS WANTED BY FBI. I HAVE FORWARDED ALL THE REQUESTED INFORMATION TO FTC AND FCC. THROUGH MY E-MAIL I RECEIVED.
Hi I just been read all this comments and things go around Kevin Hoeffer and I really comfused about this. Can’t trust any websides now who offer work from home so can someone post me how I can make money over the internet? please
Ihope they get this person because i was trusting it.
I just got an ad from Kevin! It says he lives in my hometown, can’t wait to meet him! It’s a very small town.
The only way to make money online is to sell something!
Start making a product, quit looking to make someone else rich.
I hate working for the man.
Now his name is Kevin Hofer and he has a Facebook group called “Make Money Online with Google” http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=119926471380711
The group links to this page: http://newsforconsumers.us/google/, which links you to ANOTHER page with a form. When you fill it out, it says you only have to pay $2.97, but in the fine print, if you don’t cancel your subscription in 3 DAYS it will charge you $90-something a month! THREE FREAKING DAYS!!! Huge scam getting all the high school kids saving up for college.
This is PROBABLY a dead thread by now, but you can find out who the man in the picture is here: http://www.cockeyed.com/citizen/google_money/google_money.php
Cleary this is a scam, and one that doesn’t pass the first B.S. detector. Scroll up through this post’s comments and check the grammar. Now visit any of those pages and check the grammar in the comments. Do you notice that each comment on these pages is properly phrased? Real people use different grammar, and often use it badly. If it all sounds the same, it IS the same – a load of crap.
I feel like an utter fool but I trusted this guy Kevin Hoeffer who looked and sounded sincere. Now they have access to my debit card and in the last 2 days they have gone from a $1.97 for crap I have yet to receive to a $85.97 charge for “Business Services” I did not want, did not know about and did not authorize.
I fear I am going to end up on death row for hunting down and murdering these bastards but who and where they are is a mystery. Their charges say EBIZ SHORTCUTS 3 LAS VEGAS NVUS and while their website says to call them for a refund, there is no number…just the number on my debit card charge. 877-477-3447
Anyone have any suggestions for getting my money back and having the opportunity to knock this guy’s front teeth out?
Jim
Jim, I am afraid my son fell prey to this same scam (at least you had a phone number on your charge). Did you get any response when call the number?
I have contacted his bank and filed a claim. If you have not done so then I suggest you do. The bank will typically credit your account and do an investigation.
Thanks for your post.
Hi matt, I fell for it like a dummy this morning and i been trying to email [email protected] to cancel before the three days are up, but i have not received a email back =( is this also a scam… and what should i do because they have my credit card info… i feel like a fool for not researching this before hand.
