Homebased Data Entry SCAM
I guess there’s time for another public announcement/awareness post before it call it a day.
Times are bad and people are desperate for employment. Please be vigilant about these companies requesting upfront processing fees for employment. The only technically legal job that i know of that you need to pay to work for them are multi-level marketing companies (technically legal, but i think it’s ethically wrong)
=======================================================
I bet most of you guys that looked through the classifieds had seen quite a few of Job Providers providing homebased data entry or typist job which offers around RM 450-RM 750 per assignment.
Please do not fall into these scams.
I’m one of the victims that had been cheated by these type of company. I went to the company for the interview and was told that I need to pay them RM168 as a “Consultation and Documentation processing fees.” I was further informed that this fees will act as a security fees for them in case I didn’t finish or return them the assignments in time. Without a second thought I paid them the money because I was desperately in need of a part time job.
Never in my mind would I thought that this is a scam since I was given a original receipt and an agreement with their company chop and signature on. After one month with no phone calls from them, I’ve started to get worried.
I’ve called them up asking about the status and was given excuse after excuse on how they are currently facing some problems with the outsourcing companies and will get back to me once they settled the problems.
When I called again the second time, I was once again given the same excuse.
At the back of my mind, I know that I’ve been cheated so I googled the name of the company “Mega Concept Access Resources” and it brings me to this page –> http://asiaparttime.com/blog/asiaparttime/…-job-is-a-scam/
After reading through the comments, I’ve found out that many out there had been cheated too by various of so called job providers.
This thread is to spread this scam to everybody to avoid anyone from falling into it.
Here’s a list of company names and details that had been compiled earlier by http://asiaparttime.com/blog/scam/the-name…anies-revealed/
