Save your money, this is a scam. I see hundred of these jobs everyday. Legit businesses do not ask you to pay for training materials via paypal. $15 - $20 per completed application is either too high a rate for data entry or too vague (you have to sell something first). This is a variation on an old scam, where you send money to receive training materials, only to receive instructions on how to recruit more people.

Plently of legit jobs out there, so keep looking. Best wishes.

Looks like a SCAM to me. Did you actually apply for this position via an ad or did it automatically come into your e-mail box unannounced?

If it came into your e-mail box just unannounced like a lot of the SCAMS do, then it for sure is probably a SCAM.

HTH

Hi everybody, don't mean to bother you all with this, but before I invest $10 (I know, never invest money, it's only $10 and I think it is more of a business opp, not sure, that's why I am asking all of you wonderful WAHM's) I responded to an ad about this and this is the email I got, what do you think?

Yup, total scam. Never pay for "training materials", no legit company will ask you that. Bad spelling and grammar are always good red flags too. These scammers are pretty good at what they do, we have to always be one step ahead.. and it is exhausting! Don't lose hope.. and don't lose any more of your money!! ;)

I fell for this scam a few years ago when I first started working from home and didn't know any better. You pay $10 for their "training materials" and all they send you is an email telling you to post the same ad trying to scam someone else. Don't waste your money like I did!!
