Does anyone know if the data entry jobs on line are legit? They all do ask for money to join though.?

Question

I've been surfing the net and comed across hundreds of data entry jobs on line. It sounds like the perfect job for a home mom. But are they real? They all ask some sort of fee to join. Which doesn't make any sense, why would anyone have to pay someone to work for them? I wouldn't tell an employer interviewing me "sure I'll start work for a one time fee of $49.99 or I'll be your gold member for $99.99. Just doesn't make sense. But they all claim to be making thousads a week. Has anyone here ever tried joining one? Please respond Im very curious.

Answer 1

ANY job that requires you to pay money that is not for training purposes is NOT legit, end of story.

Answer 2

There might be something out there but you will have to find it like any other legit job, as in networking, interviewing, etc. Basically get yourself an office job at a company that lets their employees work from home. Finding a legit job that is advertised as work from home is very difficult because people who are trying to make a few extra bucks are easy prey for scam artists. Also, for something like a data entry job that you could just join at any time, there would have to be a very large unmet demand for that type of work. Market forces would quickly correct this (either companies change their processes so they don't need as much data entry, or they hire a bunch of Indians right away), so there is no ongoing labor demand that generates the type of work you seem to have in mind.

Answer 3

Its just another one of these opportunites where you pay your money and then they just string you along until they can convince you to buy something else.. and then they string you along again until they can distract you into another business opportunity until you either forget about online data entry or give up altogether.



Overall its a scam- If you think about it, WHY would someone give you a data entry job ONLINE? Its like getting a job selling sand at the beach. How else could they give you the information that needs to be entered into the system other than to send it electronically? And then if they were to send it the data would already be entered and there would be no need for you to do it.



Then another thing that I think about is if you could really make a living doing online data entry, traffic jams would be non existent. Everyone would be at home doing it.

Answer 4

There are companies that don't ask for any money, that pay you on the Internet...most of the companies that ask for money sell you outdated lists of opportunities...but to try to be helpful, check out the link below (scroll down till you find "data entry") remember just be consistent and most important of all..don't expect to be a billionaire overnight!

Answer 5

You should check this site out

It is totally legitimate and free to join. You get paid by doing surveys and free offers, you never have to spend a dime and they pay every month. You can also get 20% from referrals earnings as well as 10% from second level referrals ! It's easy and again it's FREE !

Answer 6

If they're seriously paying thousands a week, every clerk-typist in a legitimate (MUCH lower paying) position would chuck their job.



Also, if they were serious about making thousands a week, they could just make you sign something saying your $49.99 fee would come out of your first 4-figure paycheck.



These guys are selling false hope.

Answer 7

I would advise you to be careful, could be a phishing scam to get your credit card info. I agree, businesses do not charge employees to "interview" or "Hire On", If it was truely making money for them, they would hiring as many people as it takes to get the job done. Sounds like they are unsure that the business will fly, and dont want to take the risk, of footing all the bill on their own.

Answer 8

A lot of them aren't. Be careful which one you sign up with.

A lot of the ads are schemes just to get your money.

Ask someone that has done it. See if it has worked for them.

Answer 9

I don't trust anything require money online. I try autosurfs,money makings stuff and lose some money. They just go bust and I couldn't get my money back. Do be careful.

Answer 10

I wouldn't trust them. I love the internet, but it isn't controlled by anything.

Answer 11

any job that asks you for money for anything is a rip off. Don't do it!
