10 billion dollars? - 22nd Oct

I've stumbled across a site which claims that you are able to make ten billion dollars with just some simple tasks HERE . All you have to do would be to do some marketing and in post links in Google to get money from Google. But, the thing is that, things that are too good to be true are often correct. Imagine, 10 billion dollars by just posting links? Even a 5-year old computer illeterate kid can be a billionaire with some minor trainings. Even if the sales page do not have all the bells and whistles, I would remidn people to read the Terms and Conditions or "Secret Dungeon of Demise" to look for some clues that this must be some scam.

Quote from the Make10 billion dollar sales page (Terms and Conditions):-

By submitting your credit card information, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions for all 21 Google kits listed on this page, as set forth: By sampling all of those products for shipping and handling charges of the various bizarre and random trial fees assigned to them you will be given a period of six days from the time you place the order to decide if you want to continue using the products. You will receive 21 usernames and passwords in your “Welcome” email at the time you complete your original transaction. This email will be sent to the email address provided at time of sign up, however we have programmatically designed the email to trip your spam filters so that it gets sent to your junk email box. Please ensure you view your “Junk” email folders to find your email with this important information as your filters may put it there. This will allow us to claim that we sent you immediately access the website and defeat any dispute claims you may be thinking of filing with your credit card company or bank. Please allow several days to receive your product. A good way to figure out when you'll receive the various products is to take the number of trial days allowed and multiply that number by 5. You can cancel at any time during the various trial periods by unsubscribing at all 21 websites with no further obligations. In fact, you can keep the trial product as our gift to you for trying these offers (and by “gift” we mean a CD-Rom loaded with malicious trojans). In the event you do not cancel within your alloted number of trial days, you will be automatically enrolled in our convenient home delivery plan and your credit card will be charged $2,972.34. Thereafter, 30 days from your initial order, you will be billed the monthly charge of $5,241.22 each month. Limit of twenty-one trial samples per household. If, at any time thereafter, you wish to cancel the convenient home delivery plans, you may unsubscribe at your local post office with no further obligations. Please take the time to read our complete Terms and Conditions below before continuing.

See all the extra charges involved after you give them your credit card number / information? It's in the small and hard to read Terms and Condition area which is also masked with a green background and white font (which is a pain to read). It's extremely longwinded, but it will definitely help keep your money in your pockets from these yokels who is thinking of prying them from you. And the best part would be that all these are not stated in the sales pitch, which is sort of leading you into the drain with telling you that you'll reach happiness walking over it when you will definitely fall into the drain. While you're in the drain, this guy happily hops on your head over the other side.

Way the go buddy. No wonder he claims that his method can help you make 10 billion dollars.
Yeah, it sure did for him with all the extra hidden charges that you can't blame him for.

I think I would be often posting a review of sales pages found online, whether in Bahasa Melayu or in English and telling readers the points that have them exposed as frauds. There are, I admit, real oppurtunities, but yet, better be skeptical than lose tonnes of money.

Oh, and before I forget, here's a total giveaway for the scam of the page, that made it fail:-
( It says:- (Auto-Insert Potential Victim’s City Here) )
