I think that you should all be aware of what is happening to us.in this time when people are hard up for jobs and money we have people like Carol Durose helping to scam us.
I was looking into Online Data Entry from home on Craigslist and also Career Builder.com and ended up doing an online interview via Instant Messaging.
Here is our conversation. I hope that it helps all of you to choose the right path and not get scammed. On the website they are asking for money and obviously she can not stick up or give explanations for her company.

"I" says:
I have looked up this business on the better business bureau mainly because through telemarketing I knew what our company's rating was and it says that Data Entry Portal is not an accredited business and that you have an F rating. For these reasons:
"I" says:
We strongly question the company's reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company's industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.
"I" says:
How do you respond?
Carol Durose says:
No It's Not
Carol Durose says:
That's the more Reason why we dont pay our workers On check
"I" says:
Why is that?
Carol Durose says:
Becasue Alots of People do use or Company Checks for for fraud
"I" says:
Can you explain this rating then?
Carol Durose says:
You know this is an Online job
Carol Durose says:
People do print our company CChecks for there own use
"I" says:
I am very leery of scams and I hope that this business is not one. I think that I would probably be better off trying to find a job in town. Thank you.
Carol Durose says:
No
"I" says:
No what?
Carol Durose says:
You there?
"I" says:
Yes?
Carol Durose says:
Listen we dont run scam here Ok?
Carol Durose says:
And that's the more reason why we do pay our worker via Direct deposit
"I" says:
I think if you are trying to recruit people, you might not want to tell them to LISTEN ok? I have been in your position before. I worked solely off commission and helped rip people off through telemarketing. I have looked at your website and feel this is not for me. Please remove me from your list. If you do not, I will be forced to file a formal complaint against your company.
At that point she stopped writting me and I felt that it was still a good idea to write up a complaint. I hope this helps.
Have a good day!
