Is Data-Entry Work a Scam?
I am always on the look-out for lucrative money-making opportunities, as anyone can witness in my blog, but this is one offer I would never go for: it just does not seem right to have to pay anyone for working. When you get work, you should get paid, not the opposite! I think this is one of the biggest scams on the internet. Maybe I am wrong, maybe you can make $200 or more a day just filling forms. If I had money to throw out the window, I would be very tempted to get in on one of those schemes and find out what exactly are they all about.
Did you notice that there is always a high price for joining data-entry programmes (usually $97) but that this fee is reduced to almost half just when you are about to sign up? If you haven't, try again in 6 months and you will see that the time-limited special price offer is strangely still valid. I don't know about you but I think this makes it even more look like a scam.
What if, instead of asking for a payment on signing up, the companies just deducted that amount from your first paycheck? They may argue that the joining fee allows them to recover the cost of training new applicants: if training new people really is that costly to them, this would seem fairer (even though a legitimate company should provide training free of charge), but then again, if you could join for free, I guess they would not make any money, since they appear to make a lot of dough from new entrants.
Another thing data-entry companies may claim as one of the reasons for the joining fee is that acceptance is limited, so they use the money thing to control the flow of entries: I don't know, if they so much want to limit the number of applicants, why don't they spend a little less in advertising? I guess this way they could even afford to pay for the training themselves!

Post a CommentMost of the Data Entry jobs are scam. I tried many companies and tired without getting any money from them. Truely I have lost my deposit also. The company is scam and they simply told the deposit will be returned later. I don't know what is the time limit for 'later'!! Beware of such companies.

If you have to pay a fee to get a job, it's a scam. It's that simple.
The problem is that this stuff is just too competitive. Just get the RJS report(http://realjobstats.com/spy) for data entry and you'll see what the job market for these jobs is really like.
please give me a data entry id . as soon as possible . please.
my name is janay anderson and i am a single momj. just like every one else i've been searching for a work from home job to but it seems like every thing is just a scam.I tried doing surveys but it turned out to be nothing but a scam. They wanted you to fill out surveys and once your done they dont pay you and they tell you that you did not qualify that try another survey and its just a repeat every time.So i tried working with ebay where they show you how to sell from ebay but what they dont inclued is exra money they take off your creadit card from opening up your ebay sight they gave you. I dont think thats a scam but the amount of money you make is not thousands like they promise. The work is based on commision and thats not what im looking for.I even tried assembly work where you assemble products from your home for different companies. they are a scam also ,you send them a fee for the work your supposed to do and they send it back saying that it dont meet there exspectations and y
A long time i try to work in online but i did not get any real site who provide me data entry job which is scam free and also free enroll .If you have y can contact me.
ya,this is really agood infomation .i got manu such scams on my email id.so i hink hat it is 100%useful to hekout their bakgound
Thanks for the info. I saw multiple job listings for one of these scams on Yahoo hotjobs, and thought "this sounds too good to be true, I'd better check this out." Yours was the first website to show up.
FYI: Employers are required by U.S. law to PAY prospective employees for training.
I think when a Company asks you to pay fees of anykind. That would probably be SCAM. If I looking for a job to make money from home, is because I really need the money and I don't want to spend a dime.
Actually, I'm interested to join that EASY MONEY EARNING PROGRAM, but when I read that membership fee, I started to think that maybe it is a SCAM.
So anyway, thanks for the info that you provided Sophie
