As with any job, online and off, data entry jobs are not without their share of illegitimate claims and those who seek to exploit honest individuals. A general rule of thumb, not just for data entry from home but for anything, is that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Scammers will use large figures to draw the attention of those with little knowledge of how data entry online works. Data Entry professionals who work online will know that no one (sane) would promise to pay those with low/no skills in data entry a high amount at all.
It also pays to be weary of certain promises. Certain training programs will promise to provide you with employment if they receive one easy payment . You may then be provided with a basic pack with the information contained in them easily found on Google or YouTube. These are scams! Be doubtful of any training program that guarantees you employment.
Many jobs require you to undergo certain tests, in which you pay an administration fee. Although some of these are legitimate, there are many that will not be. It definitely pays to research the job you’re applying for before you accept it. If you find a position that you have reason to believe could be a scam, it would be worth checking out Scam Watch which will advise you on certain things to look out for. Even if you don’t believe it is a scam, it still may be worth checking out. You may be saving yourself a lot of time, effort and frustration.
