Hello,
I came across a work-from-home data entry position but I doubt the authenticity of it.
When you type "work-from-home data entry operator" into our friend Google, you stumble upon this ad present on a bunch of sites like Trovit, Vivastreet, Travail-Emploi...
I went ahead and sent an application and here's the response via email:
Job Description:
- Work from home full-time or part-time
- Full assistance
- You get paid for each application completed.
- Work at your own pace
What you will need:
- a computer with an Internet connection (minimum speed 512 kbps)
- a valid email address
- be able to type fairly quickly
- the desire to learn and set goals
Details:
We are looking only for motivated individuals who want to work with online ads. As mentioned, experience is not required. With your computer and Internet access, you will need to complete applications that will be sent to you. All of this will be explained in the training kit which will be sent to you by email.
There is no contract to sign, the number of applications you complete will entirely depend on you. However, you will need to respond quickly to the applications.
Compensation:
You will be paid €4 to €8 for each application completed. (this will depend on the price you set).
For example, if you complete 35 applications in a week, you could earn between €140 and
€280 / week. The average income for people working is around €200/week.
This entirely depends on you. You will be responsible for keeping a record of your earnings, as we do not withhold any taxes and we do not provide a ISO 9000 form.
Training
The training you will receive will give you step-by-step instructions on how to get started. When you receive your training kit, you will be able, after understanding how the tools work, to get started quickly. You will not need any particular software.
Payment:
You will receive your payments via PayPal for each processed application. There is only a one-time fee of €6, non-refundable. This fee covers the materials that will be sent to you. From the first application completed, you will quickly recover the incurred fees. These fees are minimal, thus protecting us from curiosities, from those who are not serious about doing this job.
No company can cover the costs of administration, time loss, or provide expensive materials to anyone requesting information about this offer. If this is not acceptable to you, or if you cannot provide this amount, we kindly ask you not to consider this offer. The training and information will be sent to you upon receipt of your payment.
You will have the opportunity to start immediately.
If you do not have a PayPal account, click the link below to open an account for free, to be able to receive payments and buy your training materials. Please notify us once the payment has been made, so we can send you your materials to start as soon as possible.
www.paypal.com is a completely free and secure service.
Please send your payment via PayPal to our email address: homeoffice137@laposte.net
No signature, no company name, a fee of €6 requested for supposedly sending materials whose usefulness is not mentioned anywhere... in short, a lot of suspicious things.
Have you heard about it? What do you think?
Thanks for your input.

Hello..
Generally speaking, there are a lot of scams in the field of remote work (beading, secretarial work, responding to fake emails, etc..). The aforementioned ad says nothing about the tax status of the candidates... And if there is no specific and verifiable address, there is a strong suspicion of fraud (You will have to pay to 'work' or the work will not be paid..).
This thing is more than shady..
Be cautious..-
Hello!
I strongly advise you not to respond to this type of ad. These are simply organized scam companies that take advantage of the crisis and the difficulties faced by individuals by impersonating identities, addresses, bank accounts, etc., to make purchases in your name online and elsewhere. This type of job is a scam; you will never be paid. The packages you receive are paid for with stolen credit cards, and the company's name never appears. The employment contracts are fictitious, even if they call you.
I speak from experience. I have been a victim.

This is a scam, and frankly, a company with an email from .laposte asking to buy a training kit... In France, the legislation is clear and straightforward: "It is strictly forbidden to ask for money for recruitment"

just the fact that I have to pay for the gear to start the job makes me want to run away strongly..
if it’s a real job, the boss provides the gear for free...

why keep it simple when you can make it complicated?
