Paid to type and enter data offers...

Have any of you tried any of these "type a home" or "get paid to enter data" programs? I get ads for these every day it seems, and it sounds so good and SO easy...but of course you have to PAY to do it! And, of course it's usually for a limited time only you can pay one time for life while everyone else from that day on will have to pay something like $100 per month. Still, as someone who's desperate to be able to make an actual living online from home it IS tempting if it's actually legit. So, tell me, have you tried any of these sites or do you know anyone else who has? I mean, the ad usually shows "proof" that the sender has been making hundreds per day, just working a very small amount of time. I've been taken in too many times by things that "sound too good to be true"...I'm not stupid and I'm usually not what you'd call overly gullible but it's tempting because I'm what you may call desperate at this point. So, let's hear your experiences and knowledge on this topic and if you have found something that REALLY works and you would benefit by having me as a referral I just might try it IF I can trust you...LOL!

You are right,"it is too good to be truth". I never try those, but I heard it is mostly a scam..."Don't pay who you work for" I dont really truth those people that much. I would pass... they always want us to pay as soon as possible. You know once you give them the money then it will turn out to be something else. My friends always say, why would they pay ppl who work in their office if they could get other ppl to pay for the application and work for them? lolz... think again,

Yep, I think you're absolutely right. I figured I'd post this and see if maybe someone here had done it and had actually gotten paid but I don't think I'm going to hear from someone with those results. I AM passing unless someone suddenly shows up on this discussion with proof of having been paid by one of those sites. Hey, can't blame a girl for asking! Annie

I wanted to be able to do data entry at home but I was discouraged because most of them are scam. You should not involved with any websites that ask for payment to do the work! C'mon, why should I pay when in fact I am looking for a job to have some money. That is really obvious, it's a scam. So you should be careful and not waste your hard earned money on scams.

just be careful of scams anniepa, check if the company is legit or not. do some researches first. A lot of these type and data entry work are scams, only very few are legit that doesn't ask you for a fee or cost. If they let you pay, i don't think it sounds good right? anyway, make a good judgement and you'll be fine. have a nice day!

sigh....i have received some of these myself but i chose to ignore it..why? firstly because, my reason for looking for rackets online is to earn money not to shell out cash which in that scheme is a very risky business where some scams and frauds are lurking around despite the assurance of some people. i juz chose to stay cautious, i posted a discussion before asking anyone for help on earning money online, however, most of them are giving me sites that asks for money when what i need is something to earn and not shell out some cash.... and the price they ask for alone is veryyyy big.....
