I received your information and I know you will like what this is all about, providing long-lasting income from the comfort and privacy of your own home. We are all about customer service satisfaction. Here is the description of what you would be doing:
The Data Entry position requires that you have a reliable computer with internet access, 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 via E-mail, so you will not be required to call anyone at any time. 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 (this tends to be tedious at times, but good money, so please be sure that you have the patience to do so before proceeding). This is why we expect you to have basic internet knowledge, though the training provided will give you step-by-step instructions on how to perform these tasks properly. There are no "down-times" with this position, so you will have a constant flow of work to complete.
You will be paid $15 for each application fully 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 makes $400 -$600 each week, some make even more depending on how many hours you wish to devote.
Once you have been hired by our company 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 with your taxes.
You will receive your pay through Paypal. When an application is completed, $15 will be credited to your Paypal account, which can be withdrawn into your bank account at your leisure. You can read about the security policies www.paypal.com.
There is a one-time non - refundable fee of $30.80 for the training materials. This includes all processing fees and training costs, as well as to ensure that only that only serious applicants apply. We have tried to keep our start up fee as low as possible, some companies charge start up fees up to $50 to $100.
Think about it, employers take hundreds of thousands of dollars out of your check over time. I only deduct $30.80 up front and nothing else.
Once you have paid the start up fee by sending $30.80 to [email protected] via paypal, we will mail the training materials to you, and you may begin working as soon as you finish studying your training materials. Most applicants typically complete the training within an hour or less. However, you can do this at your own leisure. Keep in mind that the sooner you get through the training materials, the sooner you will start making money.
The training materials give you step-by-step instructions on how YOU get started. When you receive your training materials you may begin working that same day. Once you have processed your first order you will have made your money back for the cost of the training materials. You will receive your training materials through your E-mail.
If you are serious, and are willing to put forth some time and effort, then I look very forward to hearing from you again.

THIS woman is a liar, everything I was informed about the job was falsified using the words 'clients' and 'orders'. What I was 'sold' for $30.80 were just copies of the emails that she had sent me to get my money! I work hard 7 days a week all day long and a chance to work and get to be home was a blessing. But this was a lie, I do not steal! Times are extremely hard for my fam and I right now. I would never resort to stealing from other people potentially in the same position as me.
After I received the 'training materials' I wrote this woman back and she proceeded to tell me that there is no such thing as working from home on the internet (where I must add she is mistaken) and she tried to justify her stealing my money and the money of others to buy christmas gifts for her kids, and not being able to pay bills! People like this sicken me, what she did is unjust and wrong. She's a thief and anyone who accepts her 'job position' is a thief as well. There's no way to justify lying to honest job seekers to steal their money. Who would use money ripped off from honest strangers to buy stuff for their kids?! How do you explain that you've stolen money to buy toys! There is nothing honest about this! Nothing. I hope people who are looking for jobs from home see this report and get away before they are stolen from as well. Karma will return to this woman, and to everyone who thinks they are making an honest living lying and stealing from innocent inquirers. My overall feeling about this experience is extreme hurt that there are people out there that think what they are doing is leginament.
(well... It was anger and disbelief at first of course)
