You probably are here because you've seen ads on google or yahoo or msn like: Get Paid to do data entry from home! Do data entry and get paid $20/hr Data Entry Clerks Wanted Work From Home- $20/hr Data Entry Work Online Do data entry for cash - click here! This is the newest work at home scam out there right now. These ads seem to be everywhere. You will no doubt see several of these ads on job sites and forums and work from home web sites. There are literally thousands of ads out there promising large amounts of money just to do simple data entry from your PC, but why? Wouldn't it be nice to get a paycheck every 2 weeks, working at home just for typing? You know it would. Virtually everyone wants to have big checks delivered to their door, just for typing. We've all seen the screen shots of checks, or financial banking statements on the data entry job web sites. We've seen the fantastic claims people make about making tons of money, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you right now that 99% of these people are total frauds. You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists, selling you their latest data entry job list. I decided to get to the bottom of this latest get rich quick program, and find out if there really were any actual legitimate programs for making money. I started by contacting the seller of every data entry online program I could find. I purchased every one of these programs to see what they were all about. I reviewed each program over a 2 month period, using the program exactly as the author told me to. In addition I used only the resources the program laid out to see if I could actually make any cash typing from home. Well, I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. Many of the owners actually boasted on their web site about how many people bought their useless programs. I repeatedly found: • Outdated information. This is typical of all scammer sites. A dead give away, but usually by then its too late to get your money back • Non-working phone numbers for the data entry companies that pay you. Again too late to get your money back • Links leading to other sites that asked for more money. This is the most common way to spot a scammer site. You will usually be asked to join many more programs to make "real" money. Once again by now you've paid and it's too late • No help section, no faq, no email support • No members section, and monthly fees for "upgraded" memberships I quickly realized that these programs were totally useless. And the owners knew it, and they were laughing all the way to the bank. Needless to say, I tried to take them up on their money back guarantees. I either got no response, or in some cases I was treated rudely and denied my refund. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I expect more of these sites to pop up in the future. As always I will keep you updated on my new findings.
