Does anyone know about 'work at home' data entry jobs?
Asked by Miss MeMe - מימי
I applied to for a data entry job online and got an email response that said:
Process online applications from home - Part-time or Full-time, and earn $300-$600 per week. You do not have to contact anyone by phone. You will be processing responses from online ads.
All you need is a computer with a valid e-mail address and basic typing skills. Each ad takes approx. 15-20 minutes to process--and at the time you choose. There is no contract to sign, and the amount of work you choose to do is up to you.
In the past we have sent out the training materials to whomever was slightly interested but have found that we were wasting our time sending them to people that weren't really interested in the job. For that reason, there is a One Time cost of $10 to you to cover our time invested in you, training materials and processing. -----------------------------
Do you think this is legitimate? Should I pay the $10?

Best Answer:
That data entry job, wanna know how you make that $300-600/week? You post that same ad across the internet. The data entry is typing the job ad on various websites, and responding to the people that send you their $10. You pocket the $10, and you send them information on posting the very job ad getting other people to sign up.

Before you do anything, check out their record with the Better Business Bureau or the Secretary of State where you live or where they operate out of if they are not in the same state as you. Short of that, you really don't know if they are legit.
The other suggestion I would make is pay by credit card, preferrably with a virtual account number, if your provider allows that option. At least this way, you have the recourse of going back to your credit card company and say that the company was a fraud, and get your money back.
Good luck,

If you like yahoo!answers, there is another site similar to it that pays you a little to post. It isn't going to pay your rent, but you can make about $30 a month on it if you post and respond for an hour or two each day. It's fun, like yahoo!answers, and there are lots of forums. Plus, you get to design a profile sort of like myspace. You get paid for quality posts, adding pictures, and referrals. Check it out:
