Some of them sell you software, start-up kits or even expensive equipment. This is not to give you the wrong idea that data entry at

home is a scam altogether. 

There are a wide number of genuine, legitimate sites which offer real data entry jobs. It may just take some time, a lot of patience and good research in order to find the right sites. It is very important that you do not fall right into the lure of earning big money fast.

You can also visit anti-fraud sites to find out whether others have had any bad experiences with data entry site you are considering working with.
