Is "Data entry Made Easy" a scam?

Today, I received a reported scam company from Ashley. He She shared his her experience on being scam by this data entry program - "Data Entry Made Easy" from Internet. Here is what he she said:

..I paid for the membership fee cost USD49.95 in order to get involve to the good paying part time job as easy as only copy and paste the data into a form. Sounds easy, right? But after I went thru every info in the member area, i realized that was only scam as the websites provided were not exsit at all. So, pls don’t get cheat by those good paying online survey or data entry jobs…

It made me curious and decided to give an review on this data entry job scam.

Firstly, I paid a visit to their website.image The first entry page is a long copy sales letter which gave a clear message on what they selling. Basically, you paid USD99.95 (latest price) to register as their Data Entry Worker. Then they will introduce some data entry jobs to you.

At this point of time, I am 60% sure this is a scam. Why? Simply because it fall into one of the key point in our scam guide - Paid to work.

 

Secondly, I Google around the review on this program. Surprisingly, most of the reviews are positive. Do you believe it? I am not. Most of the reviews are either Money Making Websites or Article submission websites which mostly got connection to program. Up to this point, very hard to find a blog that take bad about this program. Perhaps, we are the only blog that do that because we believe on your feedback. At this point of time, I am 90% sure this is a scam.

Lastly, we search this program in Yahoo! answer.image Finally, I found a question that asked about this program. "Can anyone tell me if the program Data Entry Made Easy is not a scam?". The given answer is very true -

If a company asks for your money to open a business and it is hardly reputable, it’s a scam.

At this point of time, I am 100% sure this is a scam.

If you guys have more experience on using this program, please kindly share with us. We always believe good thing must always be shared and bad thing must always be criticized.

I got no idea on how to get back your money. Sorry, can’t help you much. However, If the program want to clear off their name as scammer, they will return your money. Let’s wait.

As for today, our post is rank quite high when people search about this program in google. Sooner or later, they will contact us:)

Hi….I came across a site called http://www.raffles-recruitment and they ask you for a joining fee and claim to be a reputed data entry/ assignment site and they pay you for assignments. Any of you know how legit this company is??

Thank you for the truth. I was just about to register online for data entry but managed to find your comment before that. You saved me from scam.

Thank you again.

But I’m looking for freelance either data entry or graphic designer…

Any idea where I can find legitimate data entry (work from home)?

I own a Graphics Design company, Creative Spectrums. We have only been around for about 8 months, so almost a year. We are still looking for designers. We’ll email you the info on the selected Client we have, you’ll email back the design, and we’ll send your check. However, we are based in Chicago and all of our designers just work at the office, so it’s easier to complete that process. I’ve never had to send anyone their check before, but I’m sure it would be possible through a money order or something, or have you any ideas?

Hi, definite scam!!! I paid my $50 after receiving a discount etc etc As soon as you pay it gives you a download link (which was blacked out) but immediately another page pops up and says “this is a once off offer if you close the page you wont have the opportunity to join up again” blah blah blah. I started siging up for whatever it was in the end and when i submitted it an error occured. I have received an email to confim that they are able to send me emails as everyone does these days. I have never received my user naem or password and have not got my $50 back yet despite trying to recover it. I will fill you in on more soon

Data Entry Made Easy is a scam. When I was navigating away from the site, a pop-up chat box (online operator agent Jenny) appeared offering a further USD 10 off from their offered discounted price. She also stated a 30 days refund guarantee.

I paid up exactly 2 hours ago and have asked for a refund and payment cancellation 15 minutes ago. Will update asap.

hiya, i was just about to enter my credit card details on the data entry made easy website..a link i found on facebook..when curoisity got the better of me.

i decided to google it, and came across this page and others.some claim that data entry is not a scam, depending on which legitimate company you fill out the forms for,as 95% of them are fake. but one user(of 3 years)claimed to know of one ligitimate company that pays him 1000$ a week,but withheld the name, as he had been burnt quite a few times.

you need to look harder and carefully before applying to online jobs. any1 can create a website and any1 can fall for it.

if you want a good job. go out and get one-try reed/kellyservices various agencies.
..if not check before you buy.

I have seen so many of these scams online I basically assume they are ALL scams unless my research tells me otherwise. this one is/was no different.
one good tip to remember when considering anything like this is to Google search it. double check the urls. check with bbb. and there is a domain registry i have used before that unfortunately i can’t find right now, that will tell you who owns the website. and with the company name, you can find out even more about them.
bottom line is, if they want money from you, it is bullshit 99.9% of the time.
if anybody manages to find a legit one, PLEASE post it! :)

Unfortunately, I too have stupidly fallen for this data entry scam. I am not too sure what to do with my credit card details, but if they take anything more out of that account then it would be considered as a fraudulent transaction that I would not be liable for. I may still cancel it though.

As for getting a refund or filing a lawsuit, maybe everyone who has been scammed by this ‘company’ should get together and file one. Maybe we need to make a facebook group or something where everyone can come together and decide what to do.

I will let you know if i find out any more information on these scum!

You are all calling this company a SCAM but any of you who have joined actualy has done the work that is required before labelling this company a scam? I mean it does require time & effort, so again, any of you been a member longer than a day, done the data entry & found after 1 month that this is nothing more than a SCAM? I know there is a lot of rubbish sites out there promising the world but sometimes its not always the system that fails but its the people that join do. Why? Because they expect to make money overnite without putting any real effort into it. Alot of these sites do say that they are not get rich programs & the problem is some people expect results as soon as they join. It seems from your posts that none of you have been members long enough to even warrant your arguments. Look i dont really know if this company is a scam or not but i wont know unless i give it a fair go before asking for my refund.

You are wrong for saying this.
The reason why these people are labeling this data entry as a scam is because after they signed up that was it for them… there was nothing else to it. They were never given access to the member area through user names and passwords.

I was about to join and then I decided to do some research. Literally I had them in another window as I was searching. Jeny popped up and everything as others stated. But I began reading this site and the report from the BBB to be sure before I put in my credit card info. Thank goodness!! It seems like a scam if they guarantee certains things and do not deliver. They say you will be able to access work immediately even at 4am and sounds like no one has been able to get anything to happen beyond the payment screen. AWFUL!!! Thank you for taking the time to warn people!!

I made the mistake of signing up for this program as well, waited to get the login information that has yet to come, i sent an email to the help email address telling them that i still could not access the site…email could not be delivered apparently that address is no good…I then sent an email to the refund site saying I want my money back…i doubt that will go through or that I will get my money back.

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY IT IS A SCAM!!!!! I did my research as well, got the positive sites did not find this site until today…wish I would have found it before i paid :( I also checked the BBB, it did not bring up what the earlier poster found. Don’t be mislead…THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!!

If these typing jobs are a SCAM, how can they stay in business for such a long 3 years period?
I wonder.
Why isn’t anyone stopping them after so many complains about them?
Is there no consumer watchdog anywhere in the world?
How come anyone just watch them ripping off people like this?
For god’s sake, if it’s a scam, someone should do something appropriate about this scam, if not all scams.

hi, i paid $49.95 for Data Entry Made Easy! Then i did research about it, which was a scam. I got my member id and password, put i did not try out the survey. I requested for refund and the address was invalid. Then when i tried to close their site, an agent chatted with me. He wrote that this is not a scam and apply now, free trial for 30 days and your money back . Today, i did some research agrain, check out this site, it gave good report, 10/26/2007. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/278/RipOff0278691.htm
Is ripoff report is reliable?

Hello,

I had my card ready to join up with Data Entry Made Easy but before i paid up i did some research and came across your website which stopped me in my tracks. On their website it says that companies do not wanna pay for employees on a daily basis and that it costs them less this way. Then it says you can earn between $30-$50 dollars per form. People here in the UK work for £30 pounds per day and I am sure that it is roughly the same in the USA. So how is it cheaper when they pay that much for 1 form?
Also, why can they not deduct the one off fee from what you earn when you start working?

Also my friend got a phone call from a guy saying she won couple of million on a lottery draw but they needed some fees to process the whole thing. oh my god.. take it out of my millions mate lol

The internet is the world at your fingertips people… ALWAYS RESEARCH…

Hi,

I am not sure about what you are saying. To me it seems you are in China, Oh elsewhere outside the US/Canada region.
One thing I am not sure of is if these surveys are available outside US/Canada region.
I don’t think it is scam though. The basics of making money with surveys is participating and referring other people to participate.
I think it got too saturated by directing everyone to the same Free Ads to post there (gotta find your niche). You just can’t get referals. If you are in china or elsewhere outside the US/Canada region, i guess you can make money by promoting the survey package in pay.com without having to participate in the surveys.
I think the intention of (Data Entry Made Easy) was to show you how to promote the surveys package and give you tips of maximising on these surveys(US/Canada).
Secret is, don’t go where the masses are goin to advertise!!! Find your Niche(and this could take sometime)!!!
For one thing, the deal for promoting these surveys is pretty good.

I hope this Helps. (No scam)
