RE: DataMaze ??

I requested info on it to see what they said, after reading your post.  Here is the email that I received:


Hello Dominique,
 
 
Thank you for your interest in Datamaze.
 
Datamaze is a legitimate opportunity for self-motivated people needing to make extra money. The following is a genuine path to supplementing your existing income or... if you discover that you really enjoy the work, making a full-time income.
 
Task Description:
 
Work from home (telecommute) Full or Part-Time. You will not be contacting anyone by phone as all work is performed completely online. You will be processing responses from ads online, which will be explained to you in step-by-step training materials. You need a computer with a valid e-mail address and basic
typing skills. Each ad takes approx. 15 minutes to process. There is no contract to sign and the workload is up to you. Work as often as you like, and at the time you choose. This opportunity has unlimited possibilities.
 
Compensation:

You will be paid $15-$20 for each application that you process.
 
Method of Payment:
 
You will receive your payments through Paypal. You are paid through Paypal for each
application that you process as soon as you process them.
The amount of money you make depends on your applied effort.
This can actually be a very lucrative opportunity for the right person.
 
Training:
 
The training materials you'll receive will give you simple step-by-step
instructions on how to get started. You may begin working the same day you
receive your materials because everything is done online. There is no special
software required.
 
There is a One-Time Non-Refundable cost to you
of $15.00 USD for training. Once you process your very first
response you will have made back this fee.
 
That is a Promise In Writing.
Guaranteed.
Period.
 
There are absolutely NO hidden fees or extra costs.
This is a job, not a "work at home scheme"
 
We do not offer complimentary training due to the freelance nature of this position.
The materials you'll receive offer unlimited compensation and can be shared with whomever you choose.
Many companies do charge more for their training materials. We understand that your goal is to make money, not spend it. Considering the above-average income possibilities with Datamaze, we feel that $15 is quite reasonable.
 
Your One-Time Payment will also be made through Paypal. Paypal is one of the safest most secure financial sites online. After you have made your payment, training materials will be sent to your e-mail and you can begin.
 
If you do not have a Paypal account you can open one for free at www.Paypal.com
When making your payment please enter the word -Begin- in the Message Area.
 
Please send your payment for training materials through Paypal to our
account address: opportunity@datamaze.net and join our team!
 
I'm standing by to answer any questions you may have.
 
Best Regards,
 
Audra McKean
Datamaze

Thank you Dominique - we also received a similar reply after weeks of sending requests for information. Funny, they didn't reply to SOHOjobs but, when we used a phony email address as a job seeker named Mr. Areu Ascammer - we got the same reply that you did.


"Processing responses from ads online...." hmmm - I don't think so. That is what a computer is for. I mean, they sort of process responses from ads online by themselves don't they?


This sounds like a typical ad typing scam where you will be placing Google ads (or some other associate program offers). Each time someone clicks on your ad you will be charged a commission so you'd better hope that you are making enough in conversions to cover the commission you are paying. It ain't easy and 99.9% of people out there that buy these "ad placing" work at home offers end up with nothing in return.


The "guarantees" never cease to amaze me. Don't these guys have any ethics and morals at all? Really take a look at that Guarantee - It says:


There is a One-Time Non-Refundable cost to you of $15.00 USD for training. Once you process your very first response you will have made back this fee. That is a Promise In Writing. Guaranteed. Period.


LOL. This does not quarantee you a work at home job, nor does it guarantee that you'll make money. What it says is "ONCE YOU PROCESS YOUR VERY FIRST RESPONSE" you will have made back this fee. But processing that first response is just about impossible.


The only person that is Guaranteed Period here to make money is the guy behind Datamaze.
