Instructions

1. 
    
   Identify data entry job scams.

   Identify data entry work scams. Your first clue to identify a scam ad is in the data entry job description itself. Legitimate data entry work opportunities will be listed by the employer and will indicate what the data entry job entails. It will also indicate what types of software will need to be used for the data entry work and other relevant details about the job. A true ad will also not sound like it's selling something to you.
   
   Data entry job scams usually have ads that advertise unrealistic earning potential, such as earning $1000 per week or something like that. Usually these types of data entry ads will lead the visitor to a sales page where a product is being sold.
