Has anyone worked for this company

Options

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.

I have seen this company advertising for workers https://www.ukhomebased.co.uk
It is a data input job.

The only reason why I am asking is that they want £20 sent for training materials.

I have seen many people ripped off and I don't wish that to happen.

I would appreciate any advice offered.

Thanks

    Nearly all jobs where you have to pay upfront for 'training materials' are scams.
    I would avoid.

  • No offense to the OP but why do people not exercise common sense in relation to these sites?

    A few pointers;

    Money up front = scam. No exceptions.

    !!!!!!, poorly executed website = scam

    The words/phrases "Automated", "Profits", "System" "Extra £xxx+ a week!" = scam

    To good to be true = Exactly what it says on the tin!

    Going back to the OP's question:
    You will receive £10 - £25 for each email you process, paid immediately into an an online payment processor, such as Paypal, for you to withdraw at any time. Each email takes approximately 15 minutes to process and once you've accessed the training materials you can start working from home today!

    So £40-£100 an hour for a data entry job when national average is about £6-7? Yeah, ask yourself would any company pay that kind of money for basic office work?

    As others have said there are no shortcuts, no easy money.

    If you really want to earn some extra cash then do real work for yourself, research whatever area of business sparks your interest and learn, learn, learn about it. Is there any thing you are good at that could be marketable to others? Is there a gap in the market for a product you could source and resell?

    Scams like the above just pray on people who want an easy option.
