So many are looking for 'data entry' work at home jobs - the reason you are having a hard time finding one, is because there really is no such thing...
Let me explain - here is what the typical so-called 'data entry' job is. They usually want you to pay them a small fee in order to have access to the details and instructions, right?
Once you have sent them the fee, you have the instructions to then turn around and place those very same ads online asking for a small fee and in return YOU send them the instructions on how THEY can now do 'data entry' from home...
I am not kidding - if you don't believe me, then go ahead and send in the 'small fee'...
They do it in different flavors - like 'typing at home jobs' - 'responding to ads online jobs' ... oh, and offline.... they call it 'stuffing envelopes'...
I was stupid enough to try that one TWICE - and with the envelope thing you can really lose money as now you have postage to pay - but some of us just learn best the hard way - LOL!
Am hoping this helps someone out there that has been looking for data entry - you might want to start searching in a different category.

I agree with you mountainmom5. I have also spent money and joined one data entry site 'IMPERIALBIZ'. After joining membership, they only provide websites which are providing data entry jobs and they are also not reliable. Also they told me to advertise their site and if any one joined membership under my referral I will get money. There are many members of this site which are advertising such fraud website. When they are not giving actual data entry work, they have no right to ask there members to make their advertisement. Unfortunately, many members are doing advertisement of this fraud website. I request all not to entertain such site, if possible try to ban such sites legally.

I saw a review website recently that listed data entry work at home programs as one of the top five WORST scams (programs), on the net. About the only thing that was listed the was worse than "data entry" programs was the Nirobi "help us launder money" scam.
