How do I report what I think is an inappropriate Google ad?
Re:
Work at Home Scams!
Revealed! Learn which programs Really work. Minimal start-up fee. home.comcast.net (GQ 9/16/06)
I really don’t think this is the kind of ad we want on the SDMB. 
That’s not an ad FOR running scams; it merely purports to warn the reader which such programs are scams and reveal the ones that aren’t.
Riiiiight. Sounds like for a “minimal start up fee,” it will tell you which programs are scams, and steer you to the “work at home and make a million dollars an hour” programs that aren’t scams. :rolleyes: (And am I the only one who thinks the rolleyes smiley looks like it should be the “sorry I barfed on your carpet, mom, but I told you I didn’t feel good” smiley?)

Well, I’ll let you in on a little bit of a lawyer-weasel secret: to determine how strongly someone feels about something, you need to count the “purportedly” type words in the sentence. Here’s yours:

That should be obvious the instant you read the word “scams.” A true scam dares not reveal itself as such.
Scams often take the trouble to say “This is not a scam.” Genuine things don’t because they already know they aren’t scams.
Dex, by following your guidelines I understand the procedure now. Thanks.
