    Hi

    An online Payroll Data Entry Processor/Home Typist position requires
    that you have a reliable computer with constant Internet access and
    capabilities, a valid E-mail account, basic Internet knowledge, and
    minimal typing skills.

    You must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner.
    This includes having excellent grammar and spelling when communicating
    with clients via E-mail.

    In addition to the above requirements, you MUST be able to follow
    instructions closely and completely! You will do all contact via
    E-mail, so you will not be required to call anyone at anytime. This
    allows you to work whichever hours are most convenient for you (days,
    night, or weekends). You will be processing applications, as well as
    filling out forms in specific company databases (this tends to be
    tedious at times, so please be sure that you have the patience to do
    so before proceeding).

    This is why you will need to have basic Internet knowledge, though
    the training provided will give you step-by-step instructions on how
    to perform these tasks properly.

    There are no "down-times" with this position, so you will have a
    constant flow of work to complete. THIS IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK
    SCHEME, so if that is what you are looking for please do not pursue
    this opportunity. You will be paid £50 for each application completed.

    The amount of money you make each week is entirely up to you, and how
    much time and effort you are willing to put in with this position. The
    average person makes£1000-£2500 each week.

    When you have been accepted as a Data Entry Clerk/Home Typist, you are
    considered an Independent Contractor.

    This means that your taxes will not be taken out; therefore, you will
    not be provided with any tax forms. THIS IS ENTIRELY YOUR
    RESPONSIBILITY. The training provided will go more in depth about what
    to do with your taxes.

    You will receive your pay through PayPal or whichever online payment
    portal you choose. When an application is completed, £50 will be
    credited to your PayPal account, which can be withdrawn into your bank
    account at your leisure.

    You can read about the security policies atwww.paypal.com.

    There is a one-time non-refundable fee for the training package. This
    also includes all the administration processing fees and training
    costs. We offer professional online support for as long as you may
    need us.

    This is a one-time fee, and there will be no other charges to you.
    However, the fee must be received before you can gain access to the
    "Training Materials.

    We must accept this fee to cover training costs, processing fees, as
    well as to ensure that only serious applicants apply. This is a
    non-refundable fee, so be sure that you understand what you are doing
    before sending in your payment for the training materials.

    This fee will not be waived for anyone, and cannot be deducted from
    your first pay. This is because if you do not process applications,
    you will not have a first pay, and we will have already taken the time
    to set you up, and train you. Once your payment is received, you will
    be given immediate access to your training materials.

    You will need a word processing program in order to perform this
    position successfully (MS Word, Works, Notepad, etc.) Once you have
    received the training materials, you can START working from home
    TODAY.

    Most applicants typically complete the training within 24 hours or
    less. However, you can do this at your leisure.

    Keep in mind that the sooner you go through the training materials,
    the sooner you will START earning money. We will be able to be
    contacted via E-mail at any time after you have received your training
    materials to help you, or answer any questions you may have.

    If you are serious about this position, meet all the requirements, and
    are responsible enough to work from home, then please contact us via
    E-mail and we will inform you of the cost of the training packet, and
    how to set up a PayPal account to send the fee (if you do not already
    have an account).

    You seem like an excellent candidate for this position, and we hope
    that we hear from you again so we can get you STARTED right away!


    Sincerely,


    H/R

    100% Scam.
    Just because you saw it on a legitimate jobs website doesn't mean anything really. Even the Government's own flagship, state of the art super duper UJM was/is flooded with nonsense/fake jobs.

    £1,000 per week?

    In the world of today, it is possible to pay people the minimum wage for data input so why would this company pay so much?

    There are many people at home with small children who would happily do this work for smaller fees too.
    Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?

    £50 for one application is all you need to read to know this is complete nonsense. If this really was a job they wouldn't bother outsourcing it, they'd do it in house and pay people minimum wage.

    I would never take a job that requires me to pay them to secure the job.

    This is definitely a scam where they take your £70 and the only way you can get it back in fees is by 'stealing' £70 for 'training' at a time from other desperate jobseekers in the same way.

    Of course its a scam. Data entry clerk 2500 a week and just basic internet skills needed? I'd give up my stressful IT managers job which doesn't pay as much as that tomorrow if this were true.

    Sorry, total scam. Don't respond or give any details.

    You send them £70 and they email you the same information/pack you've received. You then advertise the same way they have and send out the information to new people.... when/if they sign up you get paid £50.

    It's called a pyramid scheme.... it's illegal.

    Yea, as soon as they said the average person earns £1000+ per week 'd have binned it.

    Nobody legitimate charges somebody for initial job training. Run for those hills!
