How Reliable are these Jobs?

From the regular publication of payees’ lists released every month on specified dates in their website, ‘Global Info Service’ appears to be a genuine work-at-home jobs provider though they charge quite hefty one-time registration fees! The additional reason is that they operate from a publicized physically existing office address; most scamsters only publicise a Mobile No., without disclosing any postal address – probably don’t have one!

www.zenithinfoonline.com, ‘Acharya Infotech’ - www.achariyainfotech. co.cc, and ‘Unitech Info Service’ - www.payformoney.com - are other recent additions to the Indian BPO list with proper office address, and one has to register with them by filling up certain forms with personal details, then pay anything from Rs. 500–6,000; higher the monthly income desired, higher the registration fee. The available typing jobs currently go for Rs. 15,000 – 25,000/- earning per month, while form-filing and ‘Report Creator’ earnings from ‘Global Info Service’ are claimed to bring potential earnings of even over Rs. 65,000/- p.m., depending on work volume opted for and accuracy level maintained. But let me sound a note of caution – the work volume for typing jobs even for modest earnings appears tough to achieve, unless you have a typing speed of at least 30-35 words per minute. ‘Global Info Service’ (Website ‘365jobs4u’), based at Ahmedabad, typically requires typing 20 pages a day, each page consisting of about 25 lines x 10-12 words per line, many of them being unfamiliar medical terms which have to be spelt out exactly! ‘Zenith’ is based in Mumbai, ‘Acharya Infotech’ at Kerala, and ‘Unitech Info’ at Siliguri in W. Bengal. The last site actually provides ‘ad posting’ jobs, which may be called a variety of ‘form filling’ job, because you have to register at each classified free ad posting site by filling up forms (though subsequent postings can be done simply by ‘Login’ through your own ‘Username’ and ‘password’

Sadly, complaints have been multiplying of late to indicate that even ‘Global Info’ may be a scam site which takes your money and then your hard work, but terminates your account on one pretext or another, or simply does not respond to your reminders, when it comes to payment time. One suspects that they are paying some people some of the time but not all people all the time for a genuine work done, i.e, utilizing the registration fee of Peter to pay Paul

Now, how to avoid scams, i.e, job providers who digest your registration fee, get the work done from you, then refuse to pay on grounds of ‘accuracy’, ‘minimum output level not reached’, etc.? One good way is to open ‘www.google.com’, ‘www.yahoo.com’ or any other popular Website which allows ‘searching’ (that is why these sites are famous as ‘Search Engines’), type the words ‘Scam Free Online Data Entry Jobs’ in their ‘Search’ box, and then click ‘Search’. You can then find a lot of feedback on both scam-infected and scam-free Data Entry providers, but most of them are foreign (mainly US)-based, and you will need to open a ‘Paypal’, ‘E-Gold’ or other Account run by US fund managers, through whom payments are made into your own Indian Bank A/c – read up the necessary information on opening and transacting through such Accounts on their websites (Ex: www.paypal.com)

Here’s a good site which provides more than 14,000 ‘Rip-off Reports’ on scams promising genuine work-at-home jobs:

You can even register at this site and then file your own ‘report’ or complaint on any work-at-home scam which affected you. However, this site reports mainly the scams of the Western world

Here’s the big news! There are a few sites where you can register for free, and really get paid, speaking from my own experience. Like:

http://www.earnparttimejobs.com/index.php?id=51685
http://www.offlinetypistjobs.com

Both the above sites basically offer ‘ad posting’ and ‘typing’ jobs. We will speak on ‘Ad Posting’ in a Post down the line (that means the posting was done earlier, to keep it down the line)

And here’s an URL (you can get many more by ‘Google Search’ for ‘Data Entry’ or ‘Work-at-Home’ Jobs) which I personally found rich with a no. of ‘Work-at-Home’ Jobs:
