Subject: Are those fraud?
Date: 24-Apr-2002
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a PC at my home and good at operating it.I am searching for some home jobs like data entry.Is there any reliable source that offers such jobs.

Some advertisements on internet offer such jobs but require heavy deposits which I think are doubtful.

Answer: You should ask the advertiser as to why they are asking for such heavy amount. They will have a reason.

You should also ask for references of the people already enrolled with them. Ask these people to doubly make sure.

It is possible there may be similar doubts on the other side who is giving the job. Most jobs are from abroad and there 'Bahanas' or genuine reasons such as "I was not well so I could not give yesterday" do not work. Dead line is a deadline. Or there is a penalty clause. The people who have contracts have reputation at stake. So they must be asking for that money.

I saw a similar Ad in Hindustan times a few days back. You may like to rummage through last two week's papers too.

Your counsel.
