DataEntryCompany.com Reveal Results Of Their 2008 Report On Data Entry Scams

According to Data Entry Company - a website home to over 20,000 online typists - the volume of data entry scams is increasing, and the methods scammers use are becoming increasingly more complex.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2008 -- Data entry scams, often targeting less savvy online consumers, are being used by internet companies desperate to capitalize on the growing volume of internet users trying to make money online. According to the 2008 report by DataEntryCompany.com, officially released today, many of the websites failed to respond to email queries or deliver on the promises made in their sales copy.

The report concluded, among other things, that:

* Six of the fifteen websites they researched failed to respond to over 80% of support queries;

* Two of the fifteen websites lure customers into paying for resources that are already free online;

* Nine of the fifteen websites gave consumers unrealistic expectations of the earning potential within the data entry industry.

With the increase in demand for typists and data entry workers, often among large enterprises, it is becoming more difficult for consumers to decipher between what is real and what is a scam when there are so many options in the marketplace, reveals the 2008 report into the health of the industry.

The scams often involve the promise of large amounts of money in return for a small initial fee, explains Name Surname of Data Entry Company: "Most data entry membership websites, even legitimate ones, offer their customers access to their database of companies willing to pay typists to work from home. Because demand is very high for data entry professionals in the current climate, the pay can often seem very attractive - a six figure salary is realistic with a good database, intermediate typing skills and a great work ethic. But typists don't have any idea about the quality of database, and the level of support, they'll get access to before they pay their fee. At that stage, it could be too late."

The scammers will sometimes provide access to a free system with no assistance or guidance for the unsuspecting typist. They are paying for access to something that they could get free anyway. The membership areas of data entry websites prove to be an integral part of any members' potential success, and without it beginner typists will have got no where closer to earning a living online. Furthermore, speaking to someone after a payment has been made is no easy task according to Data Entry Company.

Those looking to make money online (http://www.dataentrycompany.com/?utm_source=prweb&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=prweb) should look for an address and telephone number on the websites of data entry companies they are considering buying from. Also, have a look around the company's website and see if they appear to have a log-in section for members. Companies that are open about the type of data entry work you will be doing, and the forms you will be using, also have a higher tendency to be legitimate. There is also no substitute for testimonials and references, according to research conducted by Data Entry Company.
