Free Data entry Job Information.

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Have you being looking for a “work from home” job? If affirmative, what you would normally find out jobs available in retrospect, would either be data entry jobs, customer support or even technical maintenance job. Nevertheless the most common one available is the data entry jobs, where they ask you to pay before they give you information regarding the job. Well today you are in luck, because I am going to give you the free information that could help you get the job without the need to pay for the information.

I actually paid for this to check it out, but here it goes, from the reply from the agent to the job related information…..

Their First Mail

As mentioned in the data-entry ad, the post that I inquired about requires you to have a PC with internet access, a legitimate email account, basic internet knowledge and minimal typing skills. You can chose to work full-time or part-time. Since you will be working with virtually millions of clients from all parts of the world, you can chose to work the hours you would like to work and chose how many data sets you want to process.

You will need email access and an email account as that is where all the
data sets will be sent to. You do not have to contact anyone; all contacts will be made through email. You will be processing data sets which will be explained in details in the complete set of training materials. There is no binding contract to sign nor any target amount of data sets to be completed.

Term of the day that got me worried.

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

I happen to be a subscriber of investopedia’s “Term of the days” email newsletter, but today my attention was caught up by a specific term of the day, and here it goes.
——————————————————————————————Term Of The Day: Nigerian Scam——————————————————————————————
A scam where the sender requests help in facilitating the
transfer of a substantial sum of money, generally in the form
of an email. In return, the sender offers a commission, usually
in the range of several million dollars. The scammers then
request that money be sent to pay for some of the costs
associated with the transfer. If money is sent to the scammers,
they will either disappear immediately or try to get more money
with claims of continued problems with the transfer.

Investopedia Says:——————————————————————————————
The reason that this type of scam is referred to as a “Nigerian
scam” is because it originated in Nigeria in the 1970s. The
scammers hope that the commission offered will be enticing
enough to compel the recipient to take the risk of sending
thousands of dollars to a stranger. The reasons given for the
transfer can differ from a government freezing an account to
the existence of an account with no beneficial owner. When it
comes to this type of request, however, it is important to
remember that if anything sounds too good to be true – it
usually is.

Warnings signs of a Nigerian scam include a U.S. currency
account in a foreign country (Nigeria, Iraq or Mauritius), odd
spelling and language in the body of the email and a promise of
substantial compensation for little effort.

——————————————————————————————My Opinion——————————————————————————————
In consideration to the fact that the Nigerian scam is the only one that is giving much credit on the internet, I do feel that this is very unfair, as in this case, such a word, finds itself in a Term of the day diary. I just don’t know what the western world of stereotypes is trying to accomplish, but whatever it is, I think they should also put into consideration, the idea of including; “The American Credit Card Theft”, on the term of the day diary. I doubt they would.

Google introduces a killer product.

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

google logoI was just browsing through the net and I came upon a killer product by google named ” Google Apps for Your Domain“.

Now you can offer private-labeled email, IM and calendar tools to all of your users for free*, so they can share ideas and get things done more effectively. You can design and publish your organization’s website, too. It’s all hosted by Google, so there’s no hardware or software for you to install or maintain.

With this strategy, would that mean, a goodbye to email hosting companies?

Well I wouldnt certainly say so because Microsoft’s Live Custom Domains, was not really a dorminating success.

I run a web hosting company, and I am so unhappy with google’s approach to dorminating the internet world this time.
