I think the 'get a remote data entry job' advice is actually hurting people now
A year ago I saw everyone pushing data entry jobs as an easy way to work from home. But after tracking 23 postings on Indeed over 6 months, every single one asked for a $50 'processing fee' upfront or wanted my bank info for 'direct deposit setup.' I even applied to one that looked legit and got a call from a guy named 'Mike' who couldn't answer basic questions about the company. The remote data entry boom just made it easier for scammers to copy real job posts and hook people. Has anyone else noticed this shift since early 2023?

Started looking at local businesses instead of random online postings. Found a legit data entry gig through a friend who worked at a small logistics company, no fees no bank info nonsense. Real jobs usually come from people you know or companies you can actually visit, not from some listing on Indeed.

Read an article saying 90% of remote data entry jobs posted online are scams now.
