    Hi

    If this was filling in data on a computer, my friend tried it and there was a clock at the bottom of the screen clocking up a massive phone bill, she was paying £1.50 a minute all the time she was doing it
  • Firstly you should not pay to join any of these agencies. You normally do need your own kit and the Olympus kit seems to be the best on the market although not cheap. It's a great way of being able to work around your children or if you want earn some extra cash in the evenings. TypeOut - are also pretty good too. They always pay on time but do require very accurate work.
    Good Luck

    I am still frantically trying to find a way to make more money with little effort on top of my full time and part time job. I saw a job advertised for a data entry clerk, working from home, getting £25 per application, paid via paypal. Is this for real? Seems too good to be true! All you need ins internet access etc and an email address.

    Has anyone benefited from this?

    Advice appreciated!

    How long does an application have to be that someone is willing to pay £25 to have it typed into a screen? If I had enough applications to enter to warrant employing an army of home workers I would be employing some data entry clerks directly for £8 an hour in some dingy office. Common sense tells you that this cannot be legitimate.
