Iam job hunting in the administrator sector, and received this internet working opportunity, I woyld like to know if this might be a scam? Here is the email I reveiced from [email protected].

Good day,                 

I have received your Email, thank you. Please read the below carefully and only reply if you are truly interested. This is a real opportunity and responding to candidates that are not truly interested takes up a lot of our resources. 

The following is more info regarding the Admin opportunity you have expressed interest in:

As an Administrator, the following will be expected from you:                    

·          Access to a Computer (whether it is your own computer or at work during quiet times or even the Internet café is of no importance – as long as you have one)

·          Constant Internet Access – you will be working “online”

·          a valid E-mail account

·          a South African bank account (in order for you to receive payment)

·          you must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times. You have to be a “people person”. This includes having excellent grammar and spelling when communicating with clients via E-mail

·          In addition to the above requirements, you must be able to follow instructions closely and completely

All contact will be via E-mail - you will not be required to call anyone at any time. The point behind the “virtual industry” is to cut down on office overheads after all. This allows you to work whichever hours are most convenient for you (days, nights, or weekends).

You will need a word processing program in order to perform some tasks successfully (Microsoft Word or Open Office etc.) Once you have received the training materials, you can start working from home today, or where ever you choose to conduct business. Whether you are employed or unemployed you can still apply for this. You can do it part time in the evenings or over weekends or full time. Whatever is convenient to your schedule. Especially now after the festive season. I know I welcome extra cash after the holidays. To the unemployed this can be something you might consider doing while you are looking for something permanent should you then decide to take a permanent position. That is exactly what I did, I was unemployed and had nothing to do but look for work. I honestly never had to take up any of the positions that I had gone for interviews as this was more than enough income and I have not looked back since. I have been doing this for quite some time now and don't regret it for a moment. I spend around 7 hours a day (including evenings when my kiddies are sleeping) 5 days a week and make enough money to provide well for my family. I am a mom with children and I am at home with them, comfortable and earning money at the same time. And I don't have a boss breathing down my neck.

THE WORK - You will be processing Email applications, typing, as well as filling out forms in specific company databases (this tends to be tedious at times, so please be sure that you have the patience to do so before proceeding). This is why you will need to have basic Internet knowledge, though the training provided will give you step-by-step instructions on how to perform these tasks properly. You will not be required to recruit people or send out chain emails. You will NOT be cold calling or selling products. This is actual admin work from home.

There are no "down-times" with this opportunity however, you are able to take on as much or as little work as you wish.

The amount of income you make each week is entirely up to you, and how much time and effort you are willing to put in with this opportunity. The average person makes R 2500 - R 4500 per week, for approx 2-5 hours spent online per day. I cannot stress this enough – No one can stand behind you with a whip and force you to work so we cannot estimate or guarantee what you will earn. This is a exciting opportunity and it is very REAL.

The constant influx of work is overwhelming. Once an applicant has registered, they are considered an Independent Processing Operator.  You will be given the “tools” in order to function independently. This means that your taxes will not be taken out; therefore, you will not be provided with any tax forms. This is entirely your responsibility. The training provided will go more in depth about what to do with your taxes. 

THE INCOME - You will receive your pay through EFT’S or direct deposit.  When an application is completed successfully, R150.00 will be paid to you on the same day.  An application is not complete until you have received payment in other words.  Please do not wait for a paycheck at the end of the month – this is not going to happen. You will be paid per task/application when and if it is completed. The money “trickles” into your account all throughout the month

THE TRAINING - We require a fee of R200.00 for our training. For two reasons (1) it safeguards us from those applicants who really just want to waste our time by allowing us to set them up, train them and then they conveniently don’t do any work. (2) It covers our admin costs and registration fees. It is non refundable. This line of work is not for everyone, please think carefully before you proceed with your application, we would hate for you to feel out of pocket or done in. You have to be willing to put in the hours to earn the money.

Upon completion of your registration and receipt of payment, your profile is forwarded to the training department where they begin the setup process with you.

Keep in mind that the sooner you go through the training materials, the sooner you will start earning money. It takes the average applicant a day or so to work through the training manual after which they can start working immediately. I can be contacted via E-mail at any time after you have received your training materials to help you, or answer any questions you may have.

If you consider yourself an appropriate candidate meet all the requirements, and are responsible enough to work independently, then please contact me via E-mail and I will send you the relevant registration form so you may get started.

Kind Regards

Bea

 

PS - There are many IC's advertising similar positions and who seem to offer the same opportunity. The only two aspects that separate them are the amounts you are charged for your training and the quality of the online support you receive after. Please also be aware of mock companies that emulate what we offer - they ask astronomical amounts (R750-R1500) and then simply vanish. Use your discretion. This is a very real opportunity to generate cash, while still having the freedom of flexibility, so which ever company you decide to go with I wish you success!

We require a fee of R200.00 for our training.


So an "employer" you have never met, with no credentials, is offering you a job, but first, you have to send them money.

That pretty well answers the question right there. Legitimate jobs do not work this way. Scams do.

A few other points, though:
-This exact letter is actually already posted as a sample of a scam letter on another site: http://www.thescambuster.co.uk/Scam%20Emails.htm
-If you google text from your email, you will find that the same "offer" has been circulated under multiple domain names. For example, here's another one: http://www.partnertip.com/en/human-reso ... ntact-507/
-note that when you search for the freelance "company" offering this job, there is nothing out there but their own ads. A legitimate company with a "constant influx of work" would have a legitimate internet presence, and a real website too.

definitely a scam; i found a similar 'job' with exactly the same email message. Only difference is the job title "Freelance Processing Administrator and Data Entry Clerk" and the email is from [email protected]. I almost replied (and paid) but then i did a bit of digging and i'm glad i did.

It is people like you that keep on complaining instead of using the opportunity to actually make a success and actually using the time to work but instead they use their time to try and blacklist this opportunity. There are many scams yes, but this certainly is NOT one of them! IF PEOPLE READ THE INFORMATION PROPERLY THEN THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU JOIN AT YOUR OWN FREE WILL AND KNOWING AND ACCEPTING THE BELOW: THE TRAINING - We require a fee of R200.00 for our training. For two reasons (1) it safeguards us from those applicants who really just want to waste our time by allowing us to set them up, train them and then they conveniently don’t do any work. (2) It covers our admin costs and registration fees. It is non refundable. This line of work is not for everyone, please think carefully before you proceed with your application, we would hate for you to feel out of pocket or done in. You have to be willing to put in the hours to earn the money. “I would hate for you to feel out pocketed and therefore if you are still unsure, I would rather suggest that you do not continue with the registration process. Kindly let me know what you have decided in order for me to either take you off the data base or to start preparing your manual.” So I have now numerously said please do not continue with the registration if you are at all not comfortable with the process. Please feel free to contact whomever you wish! I have gone through a lot of channels to ensure my business is legal and legit. This is an opportunity for people to create their own opportunity from home. Should they not wish to utilise it – that would be out of my hands. I have had numerous responses from people who actually put in the time and effort that made a success. Another thing, assistance will be provided at any time but I have people asking me how to “copy and paste, switch on their computer, how to create an email address (this is actually also in the materials). But honestly people refuse to read what is provided and then respond with ridiculous questions such as the above that I should not have to answer – then if I do not respond to them I am called a scammer! Please just read the information you are given and then you would be able to make a sound decision BEFORE proceeding. BUT THE WORSE PART IS, I HAVE READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE COMMENTS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE THAT ACTUALLY SAYS WHY THIS CAN NOT WORK? Good luck to all the guys that have been doing so well! “PEOPLE THINK OUTSIDE BOX”
