A data entry job scam can target you in many ways. There are forms you
can fill out at the mall or online that makes you believe you are
winning something or getting valuable information when in actual fact
you are subscribing to a mailing list. The list is purchased and then
you start to receive mailings. It can then be very difficult or even
impossible to get your name removed from their list.
Sites like Craigslist are a big target for these data entry business
scams. Using the employment area, they add jobs in the data entry
section. They use your city and information that appears to come from
someone in your city. Once you send your CV over, you find that there
isn't a job at all but a mailing list. More than likely that list will
be sold several times.
A few things to consider when posting for a job on Craigslist is:


Look for information that shows the ad is local and not cut and pasted
by someone who doesn't live there. Job postings contain some
information that will key you in to what part of town they are
situated. A real employer knows that if a job is across town, you may
not want to apply for it. They know that if they don't say where the
job is, they will get calls asking. A data entry business scam will
not have anything that gives you town information in the posting.
There is no way to reach them. When you apply for a job, you usually
have someone to send your resume to or phone. Even if the company is
not listed on the posting, it will give you a person's name or title.
A data entry opportunity scam may just have job information and
nothing else.
When can you begin? Data entry job scams will be very vague with start
information or look as if they needed you last week. They cater to
people who really need a job, but most companies know you give notice
to your current employer first. If you don't give notice, you aren't
the kind of employee they want. There is not a real job waiting for
you with scam artists so they are unconcerned about that part.

The ad will make the job sound so good that you won't care that
something doesn't appear right. You may have lost your job and really
need a new one. Data entry job scams are too good to be true and you
will begin to be able to point them out from real jobs. Once you read
it, you will send your CV. You will submit your resume out immediately
and check your email hoping to hear from them. You will feel confident
that you will receive a call back. This type of listing gives false
hope to the person who applies. As soon as you sent your email, they
are adding you to a list to begin sending you opportunities that are
actually scams.
