Chat Adminstrator jobs?

[Yochi1969]

Are Chat Adminstrator jobs on the up and up? I emailed them and asked for more information. This is what some of the reply said...

"One of the things our company does is manage chat websites. The position we are fulfilling is for a Chat Admin on one of these sites. For this position you would be in front of a camera and communicating (using your keyboard) with users. It is really that easy. In reality this is probably very similar to the conversations you already have online with your friends. If you think you can chat and carry on an interesting conversation and you are used to emailing/texting on the computer then this might be the perfect position for you.

The pay is up to $ 24.00 an hr.

For the next stage in the hiring process you can just fill out the questions below and send back to me. After I have a chance to review them I’ll contact you via email and we can set up a time for a phone interview.
(You can just reply to this email and cut and paste your answers back to me)

This sounds suspicious to me. It sounds like adult chat so be prepared for adult conversations live on camera. Although they say it is an Admin job so maybe not but I would make sure. I would never hand over a pic of myself with date of birth and phone number. Do you really have to be beautiful to be a Chat Admin?

Chat customer service jobs are getting more popular though so stay tuned. Many companies are starting up that sell the software and offer their own employees to do the job. But I'm not sure it pays well though. It kind of reminds me of Odesk or Freelancer. Many people bid and the company needing the service chooses who they want.
