Introduction
  • A scam is a deceptive scheme or trick used to
    cheat someone out of something, especially
    money. Scam is also a verb meaning to cheat
    someone in such a way.
  • Work-from-home data entry jobs are particularly
    appealing to scammers, who find many ways to make
    them seem real.

Facts
  • If you're looking for an online data entry
    position, you need to be very careful. There are
    a lot of job scams advertising what appear to be
    legitimate positions. Work-from-home job
    scams are perhaps the most common online scam.
  • For the five years ending December 21, 2019, AARP
    reports there were over 100,000 fraud complaints
    filed with the Federal Trade Commission by job
    seekers. These include 58,368 complaints about
    opportunities to work from home or start a
    business.
  • That's because many data entry jobs are
    entry-level and don't require experience to get
    started. It's easy to promote the positions as an
    easy way to get started working online and make
    money.
  • That's because many data entry jobs are
    entry-level and don't require experience to get

    easy way to get started working online and make
    money.
  • When you hear about a work-from-home job in data
    entry that sounds too good to be true (for
    example, the position might promise high pay for
    very few hours of work), it probably is.

  • Sometimes these fake companies will drag out the
    process to make you think they are real.

Types of Data Entry Job Scam
  • 1. Scams That Ask for Money
  • There are several kinds of data entry scams. One
    type of scam is the one that will ask you for
    money
  • You might be told that if you pay a fee, you will
    receive a job.
  • Some scams ask you for money so that you can take
    a required test, pay for administrative fees, or
    receive equipment or a kit necessary to start the
    job.
  • Others ask you to pay for a training course or
    certificate program.
  • Some will ask for money in exchange for more
    information on data entry jobs.
  • Once you pay the scammer money, you will likely
    not hear from the scammer again. Or, you will
    simply receive information that you could have
    received for free.

Types of Data Entry Job Scam
  • 2. Scams That Offer Money
  • Another common type of scam involves giving you
    moneyor at least, appearing to give you money.
    The scammer will send you a check. You will
    deposit the check and then, a day or two later,
    the scammer will ask you to send money to someone
    else (either for work supplies or for some other
    reason). After you send the money, you realize
    the check they sent you has bounced. 
  • For example, one person who was scammed said the
    fake company actually put her through a week of
    "training" before sending her a fraudulent check.
    Sometimes, these scammers will go as far as to
    conduct an interview with you, but the interview
    will not be in person. In some cases, the
    interview will be held on a messaging platform,
    so you never get to talk to the person who is
    hiring.

Types of Data Entry Job Scam
  • 3. Scams to Steal Your Identity
  • Another goal of scammers is to steal your
    identity. They can do this by offering you the
    job, then saying they need your drivers' license
    number or social security number to get you on
    the payroll. They may also ask for bank account
    information for direct deposit. Sharing this
    information with a scammer sets you up to have
    your identity stolen.

Tips
  • Search Google using the company name and terms
    like "review" or "scam" to find complaints about
    the organization.
  • Research any company
  • Never pay money for a job
  • Before sending an employer any personal
    information, research the company. Make sure they
    have a legitimate website. Ask the employer if
    you can speak to any of their employees or former
    employees in person. Keep researching until you
    feel confident that it is a legitimate company.
  • Many of the scams will ask you for money early on
    in the processeither to cover the cost of
    equipment, to pay an administrative fee, or to
    pay for a test. You should not have to pay money
    to get a legitimate job. If anyone asks for
    money, that is a sign that it is a scam.

Tips
Even someone who is aware of scams and is looking
for signs of being scammed can be fooled by
criminals. Scammers have invested a lot of time
in learning how to take advantage of job seekers,
and it can be easier than you think to get
scammed.
  • Be wary of paid training programs
  • Ask for a signed contract
  • There are some legitimate certificate programs or
    other training programs for specialized careers
    in data entry, like legal transcription and
    medical coding. However, many scams promise you
    training that you either never end up receiving,
    or training that is unnecessary. Do thorough
    research into any training program. Ask to speak
    in person with people who have completed the
    program.
  • If you are offered a job, ask for a signed, legal
    employment contract before beginning work. This
    will help you ensure that you are legally hired
    by a legitimate company.
