My Experiments with Data Entry @ Home Business

After making varioius tries to find out home business (work from home), I decided to try home data entry jobs. i.e online data entry or offline data entry. Online data entry means, data is entered over the net and the same will be saved in the client's server. Offline data entry means, you have to download the job (mostly scanned materials to be entered in word doc) and do the data entry and upload it.

But, I tried differently. I saw an advertisement asking me to enter email ids only. For each email id, they promised to pay me $ 1. Also promised to pay $ 60 at the time of joining. I can take the amount once it reaches $ 100. Sounded perfect for me and I paid $ 30 and joined the scheme.

What you have to do is to enter email ids known to you (not friends, relatives) in a form and after collecting email ids from you, they will send this data entry online job to that person in your name inviting them to join. (as if you are inviting them to join the scheme). They have to confirm whether they want to join or not. Then only $s will be credited. This is called verification.

As promised, they credited $ 60 in my user account. First , I entered 10 email ids. They stored them and they kept the same for verification. In included my wife email id, my another email id and my friends email ids. On scrutiny, no email was received in my name.

All the 10 emails ids I entered are still in the verification stage (even for 3 years now).

There conditions are at the time of joining the scheme are :

1) Self or relatives or friends email ids should not be entered (strange)
2) Member should not involve in any activity in disreputing the organization (?)

Their intention is now very clear.

They do not want to give away $1 for email ids entered. If you say why email ids entered by me were not verified, they will simply say they were not confirmed by the receipants. If you say that the email ids are my friends and they have also confirmed, then by quoting the condition no.1, your account will be terminated.

So, beware of these type of jobs.

All the best.
