I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot, but did you hear Google removed the Scam Keyword Suggestion from Autocomplete?
This will certainly have an affect on beginner's work at home searches.

I wonder if Google did this because the word scam was appearing after some of their AdWords clients. ;)

It still shows up for me, but it could be because I'm always logged in and I tend to do the *company name* scam search a a lot.

Still shows up for me, too. But it might take another day or two. Sometimes it does that.

Did a little more researching and from what I see it looks like one person made that statement, this guy right here http://www.sdhinteractive.com/blog/2011/03/scam-keyword-suggestions-vanish-from-google-autocomplete/
and from there it's being spread around the net like wild fire. I think maybe he had one glitch or something. Then We're all (all us internet denizens) are contributing towards giving it legitimacy by spreading his statement around.
I may be wrong. As I said, I only went a little farther. If I have time or maybe someone else might, check the authenticity of that statement by finding a source from Google saying that they did, in fact, do that.
