Data entry jobs are usually scams. They ask you for money in order to join and they give you a list with companies that probably cannot hire you because they ask for too many qualifications.

I have noticed that they are asking for money. That is strange.

Any program that asks you for money in order to work for them should be treated with the gravest suspicion! Often all they offer is an 'exclusive' list of companies (which it is not too difficult to find for free oneself) and some of those companies will also ask you to 'invest' a small amount. It turns out that ALL such sites and companies are scams. Their business is actually to con large numbers of people into parting with seemingly reasonable amounts of cash. They may give you a token 'job' or two but, invariably, the work dries up or they say that you are 'not suitable' before very long. Any genuine employer who needs data entry work or mail addressed will usually find qualified people through a recognised employment agency and will pay at recognised rates. They will NEVER ask for money from prospective employees!

99% of online data entry jobs are scams. It sounds easy to do and they charge you a training fee or a software fee of a small amount. Don't waste your time or energy on them.
