I know there are many sites that are scams and this could be one, although I did find it on a job website. Would be interesting to see if this is for real. Seems to good to be true.0

Wasnt much online, maybe I Should have looked more before posting. But in case anyone else is wondering I just found this from this site. Oh well, thought it was too good to be true.

This is a very misleading website and company. It insiuates you are joining a data entry business but you are not. They charge you for a training pack which you have to then advertise and sell on to others which is what they call "Data Entry" . Do not pay them any money! it is a scam0 -
"You will receive £10 - £25 for each email you process, paid immediately into an an online payment processor, such as Paypal"
"There is a one-off non-refundable registration fee of £20 to cover the costs of the training materials"
Sounds like your run of the mill work from home scam to me."The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the best
of everything that comes along their way."

There are a number of "red flags" that indicate that this is a scam
1) The website contains no contact details apart from an email address. No telephone number, no address, nothing. A genuine UK business has to provide this information by law.
2) They are charging a fee for training materials. You don't pay to be trained for a job. EVER.
3) It's too good to be true - £15-£25 for 15 minutes work? That's up to £100 per hour. Why? They could pay minimum wage for data entry!
There are other indicators, but these points are enough!
