No Fee Data-Entry Jobs, Another Scam?

I already talked about data-entry jobs and how I am never joining one of these so tempting opportunities that require an upfront payment but yesterday as I was doing an Internet search I came across some no fee data-entry jobs.

Don't get all excited here because when I say no fee data-entry jobs, I don't necessarily mean that these aren't scams either. There might be some legitimate work at home opportunities out there, but I think it would take a very long time finding one.

Let me explain: the first No Fees Data-Entry Jobs I found required me to sign up to Dubaimlm! I am sure that signing up for an MLM Scheme (free or not) isn't your idea of a legitimate work at home job; it isn't mine either.

I looked for another No Fee Data-Entry Job and came up with a website asking me to sign up to Revolution Money Exchange; I had never heard about this website before but apparently they are yet another PayPal alternative. I am not sure they are legitimate and even if they were, do I need one more online payment processing thingy? I keep wondering why can't I sign up to a No Fee Data-Entry Job that uses Paypal (mmm, I wonder, have they got their Paypal account closed for some reason?).

More links to No Fee Data-Entry point to full pages of Google ads (some for sleazy automatic money-making systems, others for survey websites and everything else except what I am looking for) and a few not-so-legitimate-looking websites containing lots of Google ads and what looks like a list of comments copied from somewhere else with links pointing to the same website (?!); I guess these websites are just looking for some clicks (someone's gonna get their Adsense account closed!).

Well it looks like I spent the best part of my day doing some useless Internet searches and, as the Irish band U2 would say: "But I'm Stilllllll Haven't Found What I'm Looking Fooooooooor!"

Type at Home Scams

I just came across Type at Home Scams while I was updating my Squidoo lens. There are very good lenses out there, and this is one of them.

Before you join any of the Type at Home, Data-entry or Paid Surveys online programmes, you should visit this lens: this could save you a lot of time and money. Type at Home Scams lists about 200 websites that will gladly take your money and leave you high and dry. The author of the lens claims he has made money out of 2 Data-entry programmes, which are listed in the lens as well (not as scams). I am not including the links here as I don't want to take away his leads in case he gets paid for referrals, and I don't want to publish referral links other than my own here, but you can easily find them when you visit his Squidoo lens.

I haven't checked any of these websites, as my own take on Data-entry programmes is not to send money to anyone unless you know exactly what you are getting in exchange, but I appreciate the fact that some people go to the trouble of sharing information about known scams in order to help others.
