This is what I found on "Easy Google Income" Is there no level a person will stoop to deceive. You can't even go to anti-scam sites...you most likely will be scammed there first. They call this there "best" site that passes all there rigorous testing. YEAH RIGHT....It reminds me of another big Bogus scam site called "sitereviewauthority.org" These people are so good at deception, trying to be so altruistic when they are just scum.
Here is the page:
December 2008 press release from Chairman Dr. Joseph Stein:

"FRAUD INVESTIGATION REVEALS
SHOCKING DETAILS REGARDING
INTERNET OPPORTUNITES..."
From Dr. Joseph Stein
Chairman, IT Standards
Development 1250 24th Street, NW, 3rd Floor
Sacramento, CA 94203

Greetings friend and neighbour,

My name is Dr. Joseph Stein, Chairman of Internet Technology Standards Development (ITSD for short), the Internet's leading proponent of standards and measurements for website content.

We had recently been asked to do a study concerning the work at home opportunities, which are being prevalently marketed all over the web. If you have been curious about the work at home industry but have been cautious due to the reports of rampant Internet fraud, good for you! The good news is that the following information will save you months of grief and monetary loss.

The current state of the economy seems to have brought out more than the usual number of spammers and scammers. Over the past few months, ITSD has compiled one of the most comprehensive fraud investigations ever directed at the Internet, with a particular focus on work at home opportunities.

The ITSD team went into the field to gather this data, posing as interested customers, and actually joined 217 different Work At Home websites. We then reviewed each site using computer program that measures the Five Essentials of Educational Laudability.

This system measures the following essentials:

* Immediate Investment Return

* Frequency and Stability of Income

* How “User Friendly” the content and program are

* Privacy Protection

* Customer Service

FEEL's graphs were based off of a scale of 1 to 100 in each category in order to quantify the results. We then calculated these values according to an extremely low Standard Deviation, one that many medical experiments would find to stringent. The end result when we applied our official ITSD Overall Value for each work at home opportunity. (The ITSD Overall Value is also a percentile from 0-100) was astounding even to us.

Our conclusion

A Shocking 82.3% Were Found To Be Scams!

That's right - over 8 out of 10 of these sites were trying to take advantage of your genuine efforts to provide for your family in this volatile economy. These site administrators were hoping that your justifiable fears concerning the fate of the traditional job market would propel you into glossing over the typical due diligence you would use when evaluating these types of offers.

The good news for all of us interested in the integrity of the online job market is that we caught them red-handed! Most of the failed sites fell 50 to 60% below FEEL's calculated "passing" score (a FEEL score of 65). Upon reviewing the data, a number of factors contributed to these unexpectedly low scores.
Plan application unrealistic or non-existent
A lack of detailed information
Information/software NOT user friendly (in some cases literally unusable by a rocket-scientist)
Information irrelevant because it was out-dated or inaccurate
Links did not go to information sources, but rather to sales sources
Non-functional “Dead” or links
No help section
No Feedback or Support section

The horrifying part is that these are only our preliminary findings. Our evaluation committee is putting together an extensive ITSD findings report, which, when complete, will expose the true extent of work at home scams and frauds on the Internet.

The fact of the matter is that people are being preyed upon and dreams are being shattered on a daily basis. Folks looking to make an honest living are being sold "hope in a bottle" only to find that it's nothing more than "miracle tonic" not worth the bottle it's packaged in.

Our latest findings indicate many people looking for a legitimate work at home opportunity lose an average of $1,785 to fraudulent offers such as those presented by the sites that failed our test.

As the economic outlook remains bleak we expect both the number of victims and amounts of money lost to grow exponentially. Of course, that does not include time wasted, the emotional cost, and the lost income you could have made if you didn't fall for the scam in the first place.

It is possible that you or someone you know has fallen victim to a scam. After all, it can happen to anyone - otherwise scammers wouldn't make money, right? I know how it feels, because my mother actually fell for a scam like this. Social security does not make for a lavish lifestyle, and her payments were falling well behind the rising cost of living. You can imagine the double heartbreak for our whole family when my mother came to me for help.

She had paid a month's worth of her income to a scammer, and then had to suffer the humiliation of begging her son for help when the scammer and all his promises vanished. We did not have the extra money, but we helped anyway, creating a financial burden for all of us and more shame for mom. Then we spent months searching for a legitimate work at home opportunity for her.

That's when I first joined ITSD. I wanted to get actively involved in helping people struggling with the same issues. Eventually, my passion for the project led to me being named chairman of the organization, a title I wear with pride and determination. I do not want to see anyone suffer like my mother did again!

Now for Some Good News!

Of the 217 sites we tested, 38 passed the initial tests with flying colors. This means that they are legitimate, safe, and actually deliver on their moneymaking promises! In this economy it's encouraging to know that there are at least 38 companies providing legitimate online work from home opportunities.

To confirm the results, we also conducted an additional independent survey and evaluation of their client base. We asked hundreds of people who are using these work at home programs to share their experiences and results with us.We are very thankful to all those people who spoke with us.

We calculated the data from these case studies alongside the results from the ITSD FEEL study and surprisingly found a wide margin of difference in positive results amongst these 38 Work At Home opportunities. In fact, four of these companies received such a high FEEL score that they couldn't be ignored. Therefore, these are the only four programs that currently receive our highest recommendation the ITSD Achievement for Excellence.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GET THE
ITSD ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE?

It is a virtual guarantee that these websites are 100% legitimate and safe. Not only do they provide fast access to financial rewards, they do so with little to no risk. Very few other jobs out there can offer those kinds of assurances in today's market.

Perhaps the most pleasant surprise for me came when many of our study investigators actually began earning serious money from the awarded sites. The study turned out to be a substantial raise for my investigators!

Steven Heinlein managed to recoup his sign-up fee within twenty-five minutes of implementing one of these systems...and made $197.23 on the first day of this study!

Emily Winslow earned $367.23 on a Friday afternoon with another one of these systems,and did so in only four and a half hours. Normally a very reserved individual, Emily excitedly (and quite noisily) telephoned her mother to start using this system. That was also the first and last time that I heard Emily giggle girlishly.

Richard Dawkins (no, not the Richard Dawkins, just Richie from Jersey) actually made $522.34 in one day. The system that he was evaluating uses an online payment processor, and he began receiving checks the Monday thereafter. According to Richie this was very different from the dozens of other programs that he had been evaluating.

In the same period of time we dedicated to our study, four major American employers announced widespread cost-cutting measures including layoffs, plant closings and positional outsourcing. While our study participants were making money, thousands of hardworking Americans were losing their jobs. I only point that out to underline the obvious transition in the job market here in the United States. While our manufacturing jobs are shipped overseas, hundreds of new opportunities to work from home are being created online.

Were our study participants just lucky? Absolutely not! At ITSD we do not operate based on guesses or luck. We rely entirely on proven facts. Further studies confirmed the reliability of the four standout programs, so we would like to proudly announce them to you.

THE FOUR WORK AT HOME
PROGRAMS ENDORSED WITH
THE ITSD ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE
Award Winning Program #1:
Easy Google Income

Immediate Investment Return -

The results for this program in this category are both undeniable and unprecedented. With a 99.997 FEEL score, Easy Google Income had an almost 100% immediate return on investment for every subscriber. We forwarded many of the statements in our case studies to the creators of the program, who have posted them on their site. A truly remarkable testament to success.

Frequency and Stability of Income -

When looking for an alternative job, how often and how reliable can be more important than "how much". After all, a steady $2000 a week check is much better than making anywhere from $300 to $3000 depending on the week. Easy Google Income not only provides a high-level income, but it provides a reliable high level income- right from the start. In fact, you can try this program risk-free with an unconditional 3-month money back guarantee. This is the safest and most lucrative way we've found to make money online.

Ease of Use And Implementation -

No matter how well a program or idea works, it's completely useless if it isn't easy to use. The great part about Easy Google Income is that if you can answer emails and surf the internet, you have all it takes to start the Easy Google Income system! It's really easy. Everything is explained clearly, step-by-step. No prior knowledge, experience, or schooling of any kind is necessary. Their quick-start training empowers you with everything you need to start earning money the same day you enroll!

Privacy Protection -

In this day and age of the internet, most Privacy Policies amount to "too little, too late". That is why we included Privacy among the essentials. Among the many tests we conducted, we signed up with a special tracking code in our address to track if they would pass our information to junk mail companies. They did not. Their signup process also uses the latest SSL bank grade encryption. T heir privacy measures rate a FEEL score of 100 -the highest rating possible!

Customer Service -

Easy Google has the the highest Customer service score. The key behind this program is that there wasn't a reason to really contact Customer service - everything was that easy to do. However, wait times were a bit long if you did need to talk to them, however without fail all of our questions were answered.

Overall Value -

This is absolutely one of the most solid companies we've come across in the last 5 years and we couldn't be more pleased with their ability to clearly show you and help you with everything you need to know to quickly make a guaranteed income from home with their simple system.

Approved Program #2:
ProcessSamplesfromhome.com

Return on Investment -

Fantastic return on this program, there was range of investment return from within the first two days to almost tripling of the sign-up fee within the first day!

Frequency and Stability of Income -

Like with the return, the FEEL scores for Process Samples From Home were through the roof. It was generating a steady stream of cash almost immediately! It is a great program for accumulating greater and greater amounts of money over time, on demand. Pay close attention to the screenshots, as some of those were contributed by ITSD!

Ease of Use And Implementation -

As you might expect, Process Samples From Home is so easy that even an untrained grandmother can reap the benefits. This is the ideal system for those who can't get to a computer often, or for the practically computer illiterate. Very little is needed to get up and running.

Privacy Protection -

While its privacy protection FEEL score was solid, it wasn't the highest that we studied. All of the stops were pulled out to ensure privacy, however we noticed a few areas which could be exploited if a hacker was determined enough. Still, the FEEL score 89 means nothing short of James Bond caliber hackers would have a chance, and you don't need an advanced piece of software to calculate the odds of that happening.

Customer Service -

Customer service used to be the cornerstone of every business, but today most companies view it as an unnecessary expense. However, a few companies still emphasize concern for their customers, as with the Process Samples From Home staff. Very attentive to the details, new members can schedule free calls with Angela Christianson, the founder of Process Samples From Home. We have never felt so touched by anyone like Angela. Rather than use the call for an "up sell", Angela actually coached our callers in areas they were falling short.

Overall Value -

Process Samples from Home takes you by the hand down the path to financial freedom. With the programs focus on reaching everyone they have built a program that is as easy to use as it is profitable. A definite must if you need a quick return off a small investment.

Important Notice:

Some people wrote to us saying they've to the website only to receive a message that says: "We're sorry, but we cannot accept any new members into our program at this time. Please check back in the future for openings." The founder of this program, Angela Christianson, explained to us that because their policy is to provide their members outstanding support, they have a quota of people who can join at any given time. So if you come across this message, check back every few days for new openings.

Approved Program #3:
GrannyMakesMillions.com

Return on Investment -

Getting a return within the first 15 days of using this product was no problem at all. In fact, many of our studies showed that membership fees were covered in the first few days, with profits continuing throughout the use of the program.

Frequency and Stability of Income -

This is definitely a system where you get what you put into it. The work needed to generate money is not hard, but it does require consistency. The reward is that the return is one of the most consistent of all the programs we surveyed. The money making potential with this system is huge. But what we found out is you really have to be persistent to extract as much money as you can out of it.

Ease of Use And Implementation -

Granny Makes Millions was surprisingly easy to implement and understand, although Megatyping still leads the pack with its insanely high FEEL score. However, Granny Makes Millions has an internal consistency that is surprisingly intuitive, which really helps when it comes to learning the material.

Privacy Protection -

Our research found that all your details are kept 100% private and confidential, and they use the latest SSL bank grade encryption.

Customer Service -

You couldn't ask for better service if it came with milk and cookies! Thinking that we were dealing with a grandmother, we were sure that our higher level questions would go unanswered, but we were in for a surprise. We were told in no uncertain terms that we would have our answer within an hour, and we got it each and every time!

Overall Value -

Granny Makes Millions is a must have resource for the Work From Home Entrepreneur. Flexible and customizable, Granny Makes Millions can help provide a steady income which can quickly outstrip the cost of the program. Perfect the beginner, Granny Makes Millions clearly explains the fundamentals of how to type and make money. However, Granny Makes Millions also manages to weave in many advanced strategies and options, making this an excellent resource for advanced home based business owners as well.

Approved Program #4:
Megatyping.com

Return on Investment -

Finding this program was like finding out that vase you inherited from your aunt was actually an antique worth thousands! Megatyping normally retails for $40 dollars, but we lucked into a special they run on occasion that practically GIVES it away for less than a cup of coffee. Not only that, but this amazing bit of software can help you make money right away!

Frequency and Stability of Income -

This is a program that you have to invest time in, no two ways about it. While it doesn't take a lot of time, it takes consistent work on your part to do it. Not only that, but this is an income that builds, so while it is steady once you get it going, it isn't too frequent until you've worked at it for a bit. Bottom line is if you invest the time you'll really see the difference this software can make!

Ease of Use And Implementation -

Megatyping lived up to its name by being very easy to implement and understand. Ease of use is where this program excelled, achieving its insanely high FEEL score of nearly 100%. The software does most of the work, just follow along and make money!

Privacy Protection -

Our research found that all your details are kept 100% private and confidential, and they use the latest SSL bank grade encryption.

Customer Service -

While a FEEL score of 84.7 is an excellent score, it is still the lowest of our Top 4 Achievers of Excellence. However, that is still far higher than any other company outside of our Top 4. Believe it or not, the Customer Service specialists that we surveyed were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, that they occasionally went way over heads. Fortunately, they quickly came back and picked us up when they discovered they left us behind. According to our facts and figures, this is definitely a Customer Service "problem" that you WANT to have.

Overall Value -

Megatyping is a great program for the beginner of Work at Home businesses. With its easy to use software, Megatyping provides a great return for a small investment. While it takes a bit to get going, the effort is more than made up for with a very steady income.

Well, there it is, the four work at home programs awarded with the ITSD Achievement for Excellence for December 2008. We plan to do another full-scale evaluation in 120 days. If trends continue there will be more copycats and scam sites out there looking to take advantage of the public's fear and uncertainty, but we will be watching. Rest assured that all of our calculations indicate that our safe 38 and top 4 will still be providing tremendous work at home opportunities at the end of our follow up study and into the new year - no matter what the economy does.

Until we publish our comprehensive review of the 217 programs evaluated, I hope you find this review of the top 4 valuable. We felt we should put this up immediately to protect industrious web users interested in a work at home career. We know this information can get you started making great money today.

It is my sincere hope that the information provided by ITSD will assist you in achieving your short and long-term financial aspirations, provide you with legitimate and consistent forms of income, protect you from Internet scam artists and enable you to live the life you truly desire.

Sincerely,

Dr. Joseph Stein
