YES - It's a scam using Google's name. And scammers are pretty clever to make you think it's real. Only when you've paid and seen nothing will you believe that it is a scam

They are bigtime scams! You can only earn money via Google through their Adsense system. And you can earn 5000$ a month via Adsense, but it will take alot of effort, and time and patience. It will not happen overnight as they promise you.

Answer 4

Ignore those ads, I won't even dare to click it just to be on the safe side. The intention of those ads is to draw peoples attention once they see the large $$$ amount being displayed. Go to google's website itself to inquire information on ways you can make money either by joining there partnership or affilliate programs.
