Is hometypist or dataentry a scam or for real? Do they really pay you?

Do you mean those advertised home-based jobs? I think they are pretty much a scam. Usually you have to buy stuff from them before you sell it, and you'll end up stuck if it doesn't sell.

There is no dispute about it. Any home-typingprogram is just a fraud to fill up their own cash chests by cheating the gullible seekers of home business or part time business to supplement there income.

There are a few websites that make such an offer.  They offer to start you in a business that will make you lots of money and you work from home with your own PC.  I would like to caution you however that between you and the website operator, it's the website operator that will be making the money....from you.  Unless you have a maketable skill and already know what it is, and that you know that it can be applied to internet reaching out to customers, don't get involved in the other schemes.

I would be extra careful applying for the at home data entry jobs.  In many cases you will be asked to send in a fee or to send in personal information such as bank account info, social security numbers.  Most of the time, these ads are a scam or will only give you lists of potential at home jobs you could have acquired for free by searching on Google.  \n\nAlso check any specific ads on a job seeker forum such as the one on Craig's List to see if they have had a bad experience with the firm.

Not a scam, some of them, but don't pay that well either. Global test market, Survey Spot, Synovate are three that I take surveys from all pay small amounts or have contest where you can win money or prizes.

YES.  Most of the time they require you to buy software, supplies, etc.... Once they get your money, you never hear from them again.  Dont do it.

It's a lot of crap. I can tell at a glance. This is just the internet equivelant of the old "stuff envelopes at home and make BIG bucks!\n" You are right to be suspicious of it , esp. considering the very BIG "pay here" part. Avoid this kind of trap like the plague.

If you're looking for free data entry home business, you might find several - but whether they are GENUINE is another thing altogether. Remember the old adage: if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That is why there are a lot of scams on the internet, because there are a lot of suckers who wants to get rich quick.

If they charge $99 to register with them, they are not a legitimate mystery shopping company.\n\nDo not pay to apply for mystery shopper jobs. Most of the places that charge are not mystery shopping companies. They simply sell you access to job postings that the legitimate mystery shopping companies will give you for free.\n\nSee the links below to find companies that do not charge.\n\nCathy Stucker\nAuthor of "The Mystery Shopper's Manual"

THey are scams.  They charge upfront fees for their services, require you to buy inventory for resale, or require credit card information, which they can use/sell.\n\nThe FTC publishes a series of consumer alerts regarding work at home scams.  To see how they operate, check them out:\n\n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm\nThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consumer alert entitled “Take This Scheme and Stuff It: Avoiding Envelope-Stuffing Rip-Offs.” <http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/stuffitalrt.htm>

I have found that 99.999 percent of work from home "opportunities" are scams.  Be careful not to send off too much money!

it is real.. no scam\n\nIf you live in the USA (or Canada), this is a good site to make money on.\n\nI have only found one legitimate work at home site so far, and it made me $392+ in just October. But it did take a bit of work initially--I added referrals--and the money got better. And I believe my earnings will continue to grow. I just recently had a best answer vote from a 15 y/o guy who made $50+ in just a couple of days. \n\nI started by answering surveys on CashCrate and filling out some free offers and received a real check from them. For example, I signed up for E-bay and made a bid and got paid $8.00. And there are no fees to join. It is totally free. So I made a little my first month with them. \n\nhttp://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=126558    \n\nBut once I found out this site was legit, I started adding referrals. For every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer to CashCrate, you get 10%. It may take some time to build up the number of referrals necessary to make a lot of money, but in time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you. \n\nAnd by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you. \n\nNote: There are not many offers on this site for users outside of the USA (there quite a few offers for Canadian users though). But if you are in another country, you could still refer users from the USA to CashCrate and make money on those referrals.

Ask yourself this question.  If somebody had a proven system to make a 6 figure income by working at home, wouldn't they and every friend and family member be doing it, rather than to trying to get you to buy a system that would only increase their competition?\n\nI suppose there is a very slight chance this is legit, but there are just too many scammers out there who sell you an unworkable system.  Check it out if you want, go ahead and get their free material, but sooner or later they'll ask for money, and if you don't have a rock solid understanding of what their system is, don't buy.
