Data Entry jobs scam Online Fraud

Data Entry jobs sound promising. Simply by paying a fee, sometimes as much as $100 or more, a person will start receiving offers from companies that need help entering data online. All you have to do is enter in short 3-4 line sentences or copy data onto forms provided.
Online fraud has become a vast global network, bringing together bands of cyber criminals to do what they do best ? steal money and identities from unwitting online users.

While legitimate data entry leads can sometimes be found online (most data entry work is outsourced to India and other lower-cost countries), you'll have to wade through cyber-acres of scams to get to them.

Data entry scams often claim you'll earn a certain amount for every "application" that you process. As with the envelope stuffing scam, you pay a fee and in return are instructed to run the same ad that you responded to, and to collect checks from those who reply. are from people like you, except now the role of scammer is yours.

Another common data entry scam involves having the applicant pay a fee for software that he or she will "need" in order to complete the data entry jobs. Once you purchase the software, however, it becomes clear that you yourself will be responsible for finding the data entry work --
Perhaps the biggest scam of them all. The victim is lead to believe that they will earn thousands a day simply by typing, or entering data for a company. The program usually requires an up-front fee of $100 or more. After payment, the victim discovers, that in reality, they will have to do marketing to make money.

Upon filling out my application I received within two seconds an email explaining that all I had to do was send the same advertisement out to other unsuspecting people along with an application for employment, review the application (for what reason, I do not know) and send them the congratulatory letter that there employment has been approved.

The Reality:
This is actually another marketing scheme similar to envelope stuffing. After filling out the application and paying the money, you will discover that you earn these hundreds of dollars by placing a similar advertisement in order to flease others out of their money. Some even require you to send half the money to the person who recruited you.

There are several ways to determine if a scheme is a scam. Any job that requires any payment, for registration, and the buying of manuals and goods before one earns any money, is a scam. Any job that promises quick, easy, good money is also a scam. Any e-mail sent by an unknown party that asks me to click onto a link to fill in my personal details, such as banking information and password to my online accounts will be deleted.

All I know is that earning an income from working at home requires earnest, diligent work
