FROM  HOME  DATA ENTRY

http://fromhomedataentry.com/

I have been conned, and I am supposedly smart.

OK, true story. I did pay $50 and didn’t see the promised paycheck. It was not get rick-quick scheme and we kept hearing about these systems on the net a lot so I decided to give it a shot.

Well, it was a stupid idea.

Don’t get me wrong, I was actually expecting to be conned. Why the hell did I do it, then?

Two reasons:

1)      It is actual work. It is a concept we hear a lot and you do read actual web pages and fill out forms. It is not like they promised 1000$/hour. It was supposed to be $10/form. It is easier to dismiss get-rick-quick programs as scams.

2)       It is a basic Public Relations rule. Well, it applies to almost anyting in life. Bad news spread faster than good news. I would have lost $50, but I would see as an investment in marketing. Imagine how fast an angry/indignant person can spread the news. According to studies, an average person talks about something they liked with 2 people. They share displeasure with 7. Friends have friends, the company at fault has competition and internet provides a huge community.

Here is what happened:

I did my end of the bargain and requested a cash out. They said they needed to analyze the forms to see if the job was done right and they would give an answer in 6-8 weeks. Legitimate-sounding/looking support system. Nice. I emailed to check after about 6 weeks, and they told me, it was still in process, just like they said in 6-8 weeks. Fair enough. After the 8th week, nothing. So I emailed them. The autoresponder said they got the message and would respond me shortly. They didn’t. So I emailed again. Guess what? No answer. I gave them a chance to prove me wrong but hey they didn’t. This is the adress: http://fromhomedataentry.com/

Just passs on the link. Spread the word. Frankly, I care more about giving them the bad name they deserve than making money on my article.

p.s. hell hath no fury like a customer scorned;)

    It is really too much work to fool people. They advertise everywhere, have legit-looking form sheets and a support system. They could have put that effort into creating something that doesn’t just scam people.

    I was once scammed by a group that was going to help me find grant money to stay home and write my book. If it sounds to good to be true is it. Sorry you had this problem.
