Be Cautious about Data Entry Jobs


Everybody is looking at routine easy jobs they can do at home during their free time to supplement their income. And so it seems there is a high demand for data entry jobs. Most people have typed ‘data entry’ more than a hundred thousand times a day all over the world into major search engines. Why wouldn’t there be? The job is easy and you can do it without using too much brainpower.

You must have probably have heard that most of them are scam. Either they are scam or than they are misleading. But of course, it cannot be ruled out there are genuine data entry jobs out there.


For scam data entry jobs, they will require you to pay a fee before you can get working. There are several names for these fees: consultancy fee, membership fee, and maintenance fee. There may be more names. They would reason out that these fees are used for the training materials that will be sent to you. Why would you be needing these training materials when you are knowledgeable on typing letters to words to sentences on your keyboard?

Most people are interested in data entry jobs because they offer you thousand of dollars a week just by working one, two or three hours a day. It is very enticing and it blocks you from withholding their request for a fee. The huge returns blind you. Be careful.

When you are offered a data entry job, ask for the business address, manager and official web site. Be careful for email addresses from free email service providers such as Yahoo and Gmail. If you are to reply to blahblah@gmail(dot)com, most likely it is a scam. If these job providers can give you thousands of dollars, they could surely afford a web site and web hosting service even for a year.

Please remember that the salary you get is parallel to your educational attainment, your experience and the effort you spend on it.
