Mortgage Ad Scams on Google Shut Down

Cnet.com has published an article about the government agency know as SIGTARP, Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, shutting down 85 potential mortgage scams advertised with Google targeting desperate home buyers. Trigger words were used through Google advertising and fees were charged to home buyers for activities never implemented, such as lowering their mortgage payments. Speculation of Google's ethics in regards to ignoring or not taking precaution against corrupt advertising have been a center of topic in the past and are once again being brought up.
