Last week, we received a request from Siddhartha as below:

"I want to know about the organisation called GoFreelance.com which is earlier known as freelanceworkexchange.com.Is it a fraud or genuine
organisation?" from Siddhartha.

We sent our fraud Investigation Team to review it. Here is the Report:

GoFreelance.com (Previously known as "Freelance Work Exchange") - Launched in 1998, it’s a freelance job search portal for freelancers. It is running by an effective group of freelancers by themselves. Companies requiring work done in the area of graphic design, programming, data entry, web development, article writing, copywriting or other freelance areas can easily find the right person for their work with great ease and in a very cost-effective way.

To start off, you need to be a member of the site. Membership fee is $2.95 and you end up getting a bunch of other free stuffs as well. To get an instant feel, you can go through the Job Search Page and can find out how many job postings are there on your chosen area of expertise. It has a whole section dedicated to writers about the immediate writing prospects and also postings from other clients.

Besides the regular contents, the web portal has good articles and some job pointers on how to initiate a home business, work at home trends, telecommuting, photography, videos and engineering.

For people who want to post jobs, it is free for them. What needed is few minutes to post a job and wait for the freelancers to pick up the offer. However, the client can always cancel the project if she/he is not satisfied with the freelancers proposed criteria.

Normally the freelancer’s base is extremely huge and extends to all form of freelance works. The client can easily go through the list of freelancers available and check out their particulars such as experience, expertise, minimum rate of payment etc.

It has quite a detailed section dedicated to customer queries and questions. In fact the common customer problems have already been discussed quite nicely in its Help section. You have to gain a ticket to get the full customer support.

Overall this web resource is a fantastic one-stop shop for clients looking to get their work done and a great platform for freelancers all over to find the project of his choice in a great number. Up to this point, this site is as genuine as AsiaPartTime. You should give a try.

Myfastcash.biz is an online business establishment mainly concentrating on data entry type of online work. It promises an earning of around $1,700- $7000 per week and vows to take only first 200 people that registered with it. 

The name of the establisher is happened to be Joe Kerz. The business offers the same inducements as the other Work From Home type of business. But before anything, we must verify it’s legitimacy as there are an umpteen number of fraudulent cases recorded already. Tips: always check the program with Better Business Bureaus (BBB)

Look and Feel

First comes the page design. Needless to say, it gives you the same look and feel of a regular scam site promising various kind of eye-catching dreams. It gives you images of some people who have been claimed to be very satisfied,  it will give you pictures of paypal transactions and few system related images such as a mere out of the rack login screen.

No Free Lunch

No touch of professionalism you can find at all from any aspect of the page. Then the big thing, that is, is it free or not, and you see that you actually have to pay around USD 50, which is natural for any scam sites. After a while, to your utter consternation, you will see that this program, that is the owner actually vows to you that he will instantly fill your account with USD 60, while you are having to pay USD 50 to start, and the could have very easily charge you nothing at all in exchange of crediting your account with USD 60 as a gift only.

High Rewards

This is enough to prove the actual motive of the claimed owner. And obviously, the amount they promise, that is $1,700 – $7,000 is way too high comparing any legitimate work-from-home business. Too good to be true.

Hidden Identity

Also like every other scam site, it has no contact address, you can email them, but you can not know the office address or anything like this.

Further, it has another URL, ‘www.fastdatacash.com’, which it never mentions anywhere, germinating another degree of suspicion in it already suspicious approach towards the data-entry business plan.

Conclusion

Considering their risible gift offer, too high promised payment, the look & feel of the website, lack of proper address and slyly operating one single website under two different URLs, we can safely conclude that it is indeed a scam as many other.

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. 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.
