The corporate world today offers its employees the option of 'working from home ' It is convenient and timings are flexible. Quite a few avail of this opportunity and are happy because household errands and chores can be accommodated together with office work.
There is another side to 'working from home' or 'work from home' which is ugly and unfair. Every day newspapers carry hundreds of advertisements luring unsuspecting victims with bountiful rewards. These jobs may include data entry jobs or telemarketing jobs. The victims often include bored housewives or housewives looking to earn a few extras bucks or college students wanting some pocket money. The perpetrators are looking for quick money by way of a fee. Sometimes there is no investment but the returns are pathetic.
Two members of my family were taken for a jolly good ride. One recounts his horrific experience while calling it an outright scam.
"The policy was: Data had to be sent within a time limit and had to have 80% accuracy. A few test pages were sent.the pages were typed within the specified time and returned. No analysis of the test was given. The entire assignment was mailed in the PDF format and the same had to be typed in notepad
The assignment did not make sense as there was no link between the pages. However, due to the speed requirements, errors were bound to occur. Errors were calculated not at the rate of 80% per page but 80% of the entire assignment. this gave them a greater opportunity to prevent clearance.
My opinion is that this is simply an operation to generate money. The user is made to invest a steep sum, looking forward to generous returns but he is told that the number of errors is high and he will not be paid anything.
Food for thought is that the document is 2 to 3 years old. Why would such an old document kept pending for so long? Secondly, the space between lines is too little and some of the characters are smudged. Under these circumstances, errors are bound to happen and payment is thereby forfeited.
There is a high investment or no investment.
The websites do not open up or they are fake websites.
The so-called employer calls you repeatedly.
The allure of the big bucks has caused the deepest disappointment to many.The blatant dishonesty speaks poorly of humankind. So guys do your homework well before you find yourself in the depths of despair.
