Review Crushers by Kathy Baka
One of the questions I get asked most often is how to verify whether a home job posting is a scam or a lawful job. There are some key things to watch out for.Additionally, there are sites that can help you determine what’s a real work at opportunity and what isn’t.
There are a ton of scams when looking for jobs that involve working at home. Although there are good people out there trying to protect the consumer, it’s hard to catch all the scammers all the time. One thing you must be certain when reviewing postings to make sure that you’re not taken advantage of by scamming posters.
Perhaps one the biggest scams of them all.The victim is lead to believe that they will make thousands a week simply by typing, or entering data for a company. The program usually requires
an up-front fee of $29.99 -$149.00or more. After payment, the victim discovers, that in reality, they have to affiliate market to make money or do not get the information at all.
Yes, amongst other things, you will be “entering data.” But this is only about 1% of your “job duties.” There is still a question of “what to advertise, where to advertise, how to write your ads, etc.” Off course, they do not tell you this up front, nor will they refund your money. This is considered as “false advertisement”?
Now, keep in mind that internet affiliate marketing is a perfectly lawful impact at home business, and it is possible to make upwards of $1,000 a week with the right information. It is a fairly easy business, but it’s definitely not “what they are trying to sell you.”
When I first started my Review Crushers site my intention was to bring scammers to the forefront and determine which products were worth your time and finally to post all worthy content (reviewed by my self).
This is a very time consuming process and takes more time then first thought. Besides finding the products waiting for the the product then testing the system and lots of times being led around thinking something is coming when in fact is the run around to get past the guarantee date.
Review #1 TOPDATAENTRY.COM
My first review is a Company called topdataentry.com This company was reviewed by one poster on squidoo as “The Best Data Entry Job”As you will see in my review it is not!! The program cost 49.95 and after a week or so of waiting for log information I sent an email back to inquire where this would be?
I was told I would be getting this information within 24 hours. After endless attempts to get in touch with someone. Someone finally emailed me with an outrageous test. I may send a copy of it later. Then after another week or so of waiting I emailed again..where is my log in information? I was prompted to another
test ” final test” the test was completed and sent back accordingly.
Another couple of weeks went by emailing and asking for log in information. I was finally emailed
a letter stating to me..What is your problem and basically admitting that it is a scam and I would not be getting my log in information. After numerous attempts through paypal and TopDataEntry.com
to get my money back I was informed because it was outside a 45 day limit my guaranteed refund was null.
After advising TopDataEntry.com I would be in fact sending this review to my site I have not heard a word or have gotten a refund. As of today, the site is under construction and do not know if they are changing names but will be on the look out for this one.This is a terrible company and I feel horrible for the people who actually need to do this type of work from home and deal with scammers like this!!
TopDataEntry is a scam and is recommended as a Do Not Purchase !!

Right now seems as though the website is down. I have been actively updating this company on the progress of getting the word out of this scam. They may be changing the name..I don’t know at this point but I am looking out for their next move.
Thank you for your comment!
