Learn from Joe McClain’s Scams
Here is a Joe McClain website that is a great example of a scam artist at work. Heath, Ohio’s Joe McClain is currently going to prison for 5 years for real estate scams, but he also wanted to get in on the ever-popular web scams.
Here, he is trying to use http://globalvacationexpert.com/ to sell you a front page spot in Google. Apparently, whoever is taking care of his web endeavors while he’s in prison is putting the wrong website on the wrong domain. To sign up, he wants to know if you have $4,000 – $6,000 to get started! Google’s services are free, no need to pay this crook.
His real estate scams were illegal, but numerous other scams are not, just unethical. Do some searches and find what this guy is pushing. Look at the websites and get the jist of what a scam website looks like.
I won’t spend to much time explaining Google, but you can’t do any tricks to “get on the first page”. The first question would be, get on the first page for what term? Sure, I could get to the first page for a term that nobody searches for, there isn’t any competition. People do get on the first page for popular terms, so there must be a trick right? No, no trick at all. You can find out manually how they did it or purchase low cost software that speeds up the process. They do it by providing quality content and getting that content referred many times. In other words, they work for it or they spend money to get it done for them. Even then, no reputable service would ever claim that they could get them to the top for a certain keyword, nor would they claim to have a magic secret that they could teach them. Even if they did get them to the top of a Google search, there’s no guarantee that it would stay there.
The point of the Joe McClain Google scam is that he is using a fancy landing page and website to entice a buyer into false hopes. The Internet is just a tool and it will not work magic for you. First of all, these Google gurus forget to tell you that you need a product or service that people want to purchase! I could advertise rats for sale, get them to the top of Google’s searches, and have my ads for them appear all over the place, but nobody is going to buy rats of course.
If you’re trying to use the Internet as an advertising tool, be cautious and take the prudent steps to be sure that you’re not wasting money on a scam. If you’re Web Developer is making wild claims of untold fortunes with very little work, RUN.

Interesting how Joe is hiding 12 pieces of property in another person’s name – edited. Check out these properties and call her husband A close acquaintance – edited that does not want anything to do with all of this but has no choice since his married into that family. It is amazing how a church has stood up for Joe McClain and name removed – edited through all their wickedness.
Unknown, sorry, but I cannot let names and organizations that are not proved to be involved be posted, especially when you are anonymous.
I can do this. I heavily edited your post, but left enough to warn people. In short, when Joe gets out he may still have enough resources to resume the same stunts that he was doing before.
I think a good point to drive home is that there are jokers that gain trust through churches and they’re just as bad as a joker you would find in a back alley. They can do more damage with their gained trust.
I’ll let the law settle with McClain and cohorts, no need for a private citizen to do anything other than inform what is known to be true. If I thought that his true intentions would be to pay his due and come out and be an honest citizen, I wouldn’t post one word about him. He’s shown no real remorse and I believe he will keep his “profession” going when he gets out. He should not be allowed to handle any financial transaction or be placed in a position of trust with others’ property again, but I fear he will be.
I would be very interested in knowing the name of person hideing property for joe I would not reveal any names thanks
I’m sorry, but I edited that post and the names are gone. The person who made that post stayed anonymous too. I wouldn’t put much weight on the comment given the circumstances. My guess would be that if someone is holding there are legal circumstances that allow for it.
