Question Data Entry Portal
Does anyone know anything about a company name Data Entry Portal? I am trying to find a way to get started. I got an email from this company and they requested that I IM them for an online job interview. It sounds legit, but they want you to put up money to buy part of the software need and they say they will purchase the rest. Please let me know if you have heard of them or had any dealings with them before. Thanks.

I just entered their website on copyscape.com & a bunch of copycat sites came up.

I'd beware! If they are asking you to pay to get jobs, Run far, Run fast.

If anyone ask you to put money up front, I think you should hear a siren going off in your head. NO legit company does that. To beat them at their own game ask for the name of the software, who makes it and where to purchase it. Ten to one you wouldn't receive a response.
