How to Identify a Data Entry Scam

Have you been scammed by a (so called) home employment position? Have you spent your hard-earned money on scams such as these? I'm sure all of us have been a fallen victim for one scam or another. Everyone is searching for Data Entry jobs on the Internet today. They're all searching for that one legitimate job offer.

Pay attention to the headline of all job leads. If a job lead states that you can make X amount of dollars in a short time (especially if it's a huge amount), then it is most likely a scam.

Take notice if the job lead site has a contact email or telephone number. Most legitimate work at home companies has a real working phone number.

3 Check to see how long a company has been in existence. Usually, a legitimate telecommute company has been online for quite a long time.

Make sure the work at home site is not a free hosted site. If the site offering the opportunity/job, is hosted for free, it is most likely a scam.

Always research any type of job before applying. You can research a company at the site below:
search.bbb.org/

Or, you can do a search on a particular company by typing in the name of the company and the word "scam" in your favorite search engine.

A "real job" is when YOU work for an employer/company, and are not charged any registration or start-up fees.
