guys I just recently sign up for a work at home job (dataentrymadeeasy)and I paid $49.95!!!!Now i am lost, in the ad it says there that all i have to do is to enty a data... now i found out that data entry job is to advertise their products and you'll earn through commission and if you want to earn fast you have to pay for the advertisement or through referral...but who would want to work in that kind of job if you'll have to pay that much and no earnings?

ANY site that asks you to pay some money to gain access to a database or to start earning money from your home is a scam. You dont pay money to earn money in a normal everyday job so why is it going to be any different when trying to earn money from the internet?

I feel sorry for you that you have been scammed by that site. I feel that you should not pay any sites claiming to give you job, any genuine site will not ask the users to pay money rather they will let users to work for free and pay them for sure. so be careful in the future to never join any sites like this that ask for payment for jobs.

OOoops, if there is money involved in getting started, then obviously it is a scam.

I have done the same mistake with you almost one year ago with an other company. Until then I am trying to find a way to make money online. until now i have managed to earn $100 or a little bit more per month and i am still trying. That's really difficult with all those scams out there...

I had the same ordeal. I signed up for a TypeInternational and paid $37.95 for the Research Assistant Position. I thought this was wise since there are no deadlines. But the assignments are impossible and I need to submit 100 data per assignment (there are 6 assignments) to be able to qualify for pay up which is $110. So I finally give up after trying to complete the assignment for two months. One of the assignment was to get email addresses and its like spamming to me. I don't like that kind of way of working.

Be careful where these people say you have to pay for the work from home opertunities!... They are quite often an easy way to scam people. We have had a lot f of that kind of thing here in the UK too! Ive leared not to go after them if they say there is a fee to register to use them. I am doing little bits from home for a company in Pre-Launch in the entertainment industry! If you want thier weblink, send me a pm and I will forward it to you OK. Do be careful my friend Lynn-Marie

This is the problem with these websites. They reel you in with the promise of making lots of money and then after you sign up you find out that it's really a scam of sorts. I would never pay any money for a data entry job any way. There are legitimate sites that don't cost you any money. You can check some of them out by going to www.wahm.com.

I personally advice you to stay away from offers like that where you should pay a certain amount first before you finally get an income. For me this signifies a clear scam because the site or the program only earns from the incoming payment of new members so meaning they cant generate income if there is no new members signing up. It is entirely dependent on the flow of members paying for the registration fee. Anyway, if you already paid, there's nothing more you can do to recover it. At least now you know and next time be careful with these kind of bogus. Just charge it to experience!

You ought to try Associated Content. You write articles and get paid for them. I joined April 16th, and I've already made $15.02. I could probably have made a bit more, but I'm a tad lazy when it comes to writing articles. I know there's some people on AC that use it as a full-time job. http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=69945

i have to say as a rule of thumb.,. when you go to a place for employment you dont have to pay them to employ you..its the same as home employment, one should not have to pay out of pocket to work for someone else unless its something like a backround check and even then you check out the company thats doing the hiring..someone that wants u to work for them usually doesnt want a payout..
