Data entry at home

Hiya guys i'm hoping you can help?

I think I have found a legit data entry job on gumtree and I was just wondering if I can get people's advice on it first?

I replied to the advertisement and got a reply from the MD of the company. The company is local to me and I even had a look at creditsafe to see if the company actually existed etc, company address MD's name and everything is listed on there and active.

Everything seems pretty cosha, £8.00 for every 50 emails checked and listed. max of 1000 emails a month. Other opportunities are also available.

What are other peoples thoughts on this?

Thanks for your help again my fellow money savers!

    Sorry that meant to say 1000 per week is accepted!
  • It sound legit to me, from the info you've given!

    I'm looking for something similar to this myself (I cam to this board looking for suggestions actually :p)

    Any info/contacts or a website you can share? You said there's other opportunities available? :D

    What exactly does "every 50 emails checked and listed" mean?

    The last time someone came in here with something like that it was gathering emails from web sites for spammers.

    The company is a wholesale merchant (reputable in this area) it is only a small company and they are asking someone to check the emails on their client database. Updating the emails if requested.

    The company I work for also pays someone to do this on a yearly basis.
