ELITE TYPIST SERVICES





Hello ******

A Data Entry Processor and/or 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 and/or orders, 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 can make up to $25.00 for each application and/or order processed. The amount of money you make, and how much time and effort you are willing to put forth with this position is entirely up to you. The average data entry processor/home typist makes $300-$500 each week.

When you have been accepted as a Data Entry Processor and/or 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 AlertPay. When an application and/or order is completed, up to$25.00 will be credited to your online payment account, and can be withdrawn into your bank account at your leisure. There is a ONE TIME NON REFUNDABLE FEE for the training materials. This also includes all processing fees and training costs. This is a one-time fee, and there will be never be any other charges to you. However, the fee must be received before you can gain access to the Training Area on our website. 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 understnad what you will be doing before you submit the payment for the training and processing fee. 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 and/or orders, 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 receive your login information via email. You will need a word processing program in order to perform this position successfully (MS Word, WordPad, Notepad, etc.) Once you have logged into our Training Area, you will be able to access the training materials, and start working from your home the very same day. Most applicants typically complete the training within 48 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. You will now be able to stay at home with your family and earn money at the same time. I will be able to be contacted via E-mail at anytime after you have received your training materials to help you get started, or answer any questions you may have.

If you are serious about this position, meet all the requirements, and are self-motivated and responsible enough to work from home, then please contact me via E-mail and I will inform you of the cost of the training materials packet, and how to set up a Paypal account to send the fee (if you do not already have an account with one of these). You seem like an excellent candidate for this position, and I hope that I hear from you again so I can get you started right away! Please visit our website as well to get a better feel for the data entry and/or home typist work, and to answer any questions that I may have not covered in this email.

Sincerely,

Audrey Vogel

This is not a spam I requested this information because of an ad in local newspaper. I'm wondering is this a scam or not? Because I want to get a data entry job and this sounds too good to be true. I dunno..

The money offered seems realistic... but they never say the actual amount of the "fee". Most "independent contractor" opportunities are usually scams or just crappy commission only work you to the bone junk. never tried one but have had friends that did. my advice: stay away.

this line: "There is a ONE TIME NON REFUNDABLE FEE for the training materials." should drive the point home. you should never have to pay someone for you to do work for them.

This is not a scam, but they are offering very low wages, I make up to 2000 a week doing similar work. I can teach you how too! Just send me 200 dollars for guides and training materials. This is a NON REFUNDABLE FEE for the guides and training materials. Act now and you can even get a free penis like object to stick up your butt!

Sounds legit.



Do not bump a 8+ year old thread for no reason, except for:

' Sounds legit. "

One of the tactics a scam artist uses IS TO PRONOUNCE VARIOUS PIECES OF INFORMATION within the message that is being communicated to you. It is an age old trick, THAT HAS BEEN USED MANY TIMES by scam artists of the past.

They pad their message with drivel and sentences that just drone on and on, AND THEN SUDDENLY DRAW ATTENTION TO SOME KEY POINTS to ensure they are clear on what they asking for, while giving the impression THAT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS QUITE IMPORTANT, and should be retained, agreed on and followed - in order to get you to buy into (suckered) what they are selling.

If you look at those "We Know Something The Government / The Rich / The Beautiful People Don't Want You To Know,..." this method is used all the time.

What can be said in 2 minutes, is padded to take up 15 to 20 minutes, just to lull you into a false sense of security. Flat out saying; Give me your money, idiot,.., won't work, so they add tons of garbage in hopes of suckering you.
