I receive this email from Ms. Bridgett Barker with a job description of what the job entails once I paid my money and receive the training material I knew right away this was a scam. Unfortunatley I cannot receive my money back and that is okay at least I can warn other people. Here is what the email said:
Hello! The Data Entry Specialist position requires that you have a reliable computer with constant Internet access and capabilities, a valid E-mail account, basic Internet knowledge, and minimal typing skills. You must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner. This includes having excellent grammar and spelling when communicating with clients via E-mail.
In addition to the above requirements, you MUST be able to follow instructions closely and completely.
All contact is done via E-mail, so you will not be required to call anyone at anytime. This allows you to work whichever hours are most convenient for
you (days, nights, or weekends). You will be processing applications, as well as filling out forms in specific company databases (this tends to be tedious at times, so please be sure that you have the patience to do so
before proceeding). This is why you will need to have basic Internet knowledge, though the training provided will give you step-by-step instruction on how to perform each task properly. There are no "down-times"
with this position, so you will have a constant flow of work to complete on a regular basis. THIS IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME, so if that is what you
are looking for, please do not pursue this opportunity.
You will be paid $40.00 for each application completed. The amount of money you make each week is entirely up to you, and how much time and effort you are willing to put forth with this position. The average person in this
position makes $400-$600 each week. Once you have accepted the position of Data Entry Specialist, you are considered an Independent Contractor. This
means that your taxes will not be taken out; therefore, you will not be provided with any tax forms. This is entirely your responsibility. The training provided will go more in depth about what to do regarding your
taxes."
Now this is what the training material is:

Section 1 - Getting Started
To get you started making money, we have some simple steps for you to follow. Your first steps are to place ads similar to the one you responded to.
First step: how to place ads
In order for anyone to respond to you about this opportunity, you must place an ad on the Internet, again, similar to the one you responded to. Use one of your own or one from the Reference Section A. You may need to retype it and put it into your own words. You can place your ads on Yahoo, Google, just to name a few. There are literally hundreds of places to place your ads for free! Remember, the more ads you place, the more exposure you will have and the more orders you will have emailed to you. I cannot stress this enough: DO a search in any major search engine like Google.com or Yahoo.com for free job postings or free job sites and that should give you more than enough to get started. When youre on those sites, always look at their links and this will give you opportunity for more sites. Each site will walk you through the process of placing your own ad. Some places will require you to register with them. You will need to do this to post your ads. The information that you provide them with will not be in your ad unless you want it to be. You will definitely get responses, and you definitely be processing orders right away! When I got started, I got responses four hours after I placed my first ad. Believe me, everyones mailboxes are always full.
Use the examples in Reference Section A as a guideline for the ad you will place. PUT IT INTO YOUR OWN WORDS!
Good luck and start placing the ads as soon as possible and at as many places you can find. (See Reference Section B)
Section 2 - First Response Letter
Now that youve placed your ads and your mailbox is overflowing with inquiring minds, use the following letter (once again as a guideline use your own words) to respond, and be prompt about it. Remember, people are waiting to make money, just like you.
Hello,
The position for Home Typist that you inquired about does require you to have a computer with email access. Printers are not at all required, but can be helpful. You can begin working FT or PT, the choice is up to you. You will need minimal typing skills for this position. You will be processing orders from your own computer via your email. This work from home opportunity will make you real money. You will not have to contact anyone, you will be contacted through your email. Now you must be willing to work as with any job, and it does require some time and effort to be successful. You will be paid $20.00 (or whatever you decide to charge for your information, if you charge $20.00 the following example works. If you charge $10.00 then adjust the following example as well as the one time fee. Be sure that when you send out this letter, you remove all the RED text!) for each order you process, for example: if you process 25 orders a week, you will make $500.00 weekly. The amount of money you can make is virtually endless. It only depends on the time and effort you put forth. There is a One Time Fee of $20.00 to begin. This is the cost of the Training Materials. The Training Materials give you the step-by-step instructions on how YOU get started. When you receive you Training Materials you may begin working that very same day. Once you have processed your first order you will have already made back the cost of your Training Materials. You will receive your Training Materials through your email. This work from home opportunity is legitimate, and how successful you are only depends on the time and effort you put in. I am here to help you get started and answer any questions that you may have. If you are serious, and are willing to put forth some time and effort, then I look very forward to hearing from you again.
Thank you,
Your Name
Your email address
Section 3 - Getting Paid
Okay, youve posted your jobs, youve responded to people with an initial letter telling them more about the job. Let them know that all of their questions will be answered in the Training Material and that there is a guarantee that they will make back what the put into it the very first time they process an order (which is the truth). Okay, lets move on.
How you get paid
Start by asking yourself this one simple question, How much is my time and information worth? You need to decide what to charge for your time and effort that you will be putting towards your business. This is entirely up to you. You will spend a few hours a week to process, request, and work the business. So think that through before deciding how much you will charge. Would you be willing to spend X amount of dollars to become a home business owner? You can either be paid by cash, check, money order, or you can set up your own Paypal account and have people pay you through that service. Paypal will allow a person to pay by either electronic check or credit card. Paypal is a safe and secure way to pay directly online, and you transfer the money from that account directly into your checking or saving account. It is easier and much quicker for everyone. The sign up is free! The website address for Paypal is: hhtp://www.paypal.com use [email protected] as your reference for signing up if you dont have PAYPAL account. Make sure you tell your new prospects to use your Paypal email address to pay you. (An additional money making opportunity is to be sure that everyone you sign into this program that doesnt have PAYPAL that you tell them to use your account name just as I did above. You will get a %5.00 credit for each person.)
Tax responibility
You will be responsible for your own taxes. You are an independent business owner so you will need to fill out a 1099 at the end of the year. Also, if you have incurred any expenses for this business, keep track of them so that you can write them off come tax time (. Ie., internet bill, paper, computer supplies, training material, etc.).
Closing points
1.) The more ads you place the more money you will make!
2.) It is good business to respond and follow up with everyone who emails.
3.) Be creative as possible with your business ads, but at the same time be very professional.
4.) Check back with the sites you place ads with and see if you need to update them.
5.) The more you put into your business the more youll definitely get out of it!
Best of luck with this. I assure you with a little bit of time and effort on your part, your mailbox will be full with inquiries about the work from home opportunity and youll be on your way to great success!
