Data entry job scams are a dime a dozen these days. I have a pretty general rule of thumb that says if it is offering this type of job, forget about it. Seriously, click on a better link (like this one) because if you choose the data entry one it’s probably just going to blow smoke so far up your…well you see where I am going with this. These job scams are all too frequent and too many innocent and trusting individuals have lost out to them.
This is a bit of a complicated area to address because the owners of these sites are very tricky. They have free sites out there offering up “free” and “trustworthy” information about which are the best at home job sites to work with. And of course the ones they recommend cost money. But the problem is not that they are charging you money for leads, it is that they are charging you money to give you leads to leads. So really they are just going to give you a list of places you can contact to see if they know where you can contact the next person to find out if they possibly have a job you could fulfill. It is like a giant chain that goes absolutely nowhere at all.
You get no guarantees that you will get a job or that you will even get a response from any job you apply for. I tried some of these for you and it was sad. One was all online, it was a giant database of “companies” that wanted data entry jobs done and grunt jobs like filling envelopes and mailing them off. Another was not even that good. It was just a booklet photocopied off in someones basement of other companies I could pay to get crap info from. Total BS all around.
Well, I tried to contact some of these so called job opportunities and found that half of these businesses didn’t even exist anymore, if they ever did at all. There was not one viable offer and I had paid $60. This is why you need to watch out for the data entry job scams, they are full fledged scams that have nothing whatsoever to offer you.
Here are just a few of the many sites that you need to steer clear from:
1) fully-researched-home-jobs.com
2) workathometop10.com
3) highest-paid-online-jobs.com
4) top-10-work-at-home.com
It makes me want to puke that these guys are promoting such obvious scams. And I am not just saying that because they got some of my money, that is what I do, I test out these kinds of things so that you don’t have to, but what if that money was all I had? What if I needed that to pan out in order to be able to feed my baby or something? This happens to real people in real bad situations and these scam artists don’t even care.
This turned into more of a rant than a review of any kind, it just makes me so mad to see these data entry job scams so often all over the internet.
It is a much better idea to choose programs that are about learning, at least that way you have something to work with down the road, something more than a handful of business contacts that don’t even exist.
So as not to leave you all down and depressed you might want to check out this ebook. It is one you can actually make money with and learn from.

Interesting, but the internet is full of scams and people looking to make a quick buck off an unsuspecting person. And if you don’t have basic “street smarts” while on the internet you will get duped.

The vast majority of these “opportunities” are pure scam.
Anyone interested in making some sort of money online should look for those opportunities that can be easily checked out and verified. Stuff like virtual assistant, mechanical turk or others can generate some income (not alot, but some). Anyone looking to get something for nothing, relatively speaking, will be disappointed.

No doubt, we should be grateful for what God gives us. But don’t you think that sometimes you too should do your job and make some efforts to deserve His bless.

I hate those scammers and most of the data entry jobs are scams. I hope everyone should be very careful. If they require you to pay first then do your research first.
