JTS Marketing, 1DataGroup, DataGroup Marketing Job Opportunity on Craig's List is the start of a misleading, fraudulent advertisement Internet Internet

Craig's list posted for four or five different stay-at-home data typing ads.

The ads say "if you are interested, send us your resume and we will be in touch." They do not offer a business name, address, location or any information about exactly what job you might be doing. Data entry, it says, for $15. Even in the best businesses it's hard to get a data entry job for $10.

Once you reply, they send you an email (and probably take your information for other nefarious purposes) that asks you to go to a link. One email said that they couldn't put the link in the email, and typed it out as "http:// something something. something" and said you have to retype it into the browser without the spaces. Then, when you get to the site you're supposed to just enter your name and email, and when they see you've been smart enough to do that much, they'll contact you again. First, that's completely demeaning making somebody jump through internet hoops to see if they're gullible enough to do what you want them to do, before you tell them about a job. My suspicions were well raised.

The site that it leads you to is an advertisement for an internet-marketing kit that, if you type in your name and email, will sign you up for a free kit. Well I don't want a kit, nor do I want to give my name and email to whatever third-party site this is.

So I looked up the original company name. JTS Marketing. There are a couple sites that might be it-- JTS Advertising, JTS-Marketing, etc. All of the sites are full of B.S. copy about how great the company is-- but there is no actual information about it.

Also, on the "FREE KIT" internet page, there are Terms of Service at the bottom that are the most threatening and unfriendly terms of service I have ever seen. Simply by viewing the page, you are agreeing to the terms of service-- and that includes not mentioning their website, company name, or anything about them on any other site or blog. Pretty unfriendly. That means that by mentioning their name here, I could probably be sued-- simply because I viewed their website. I don't think that could hold up in any court of law, but the mere fact that they saw fit to write it is dastardly and evil.

Some of the other "data entry" job companies that responded to me are DataGroup Marketing and 1DataGroup, and there are probably a million other names that they invented. Watch out for "tinyURL" in the URL they give you, because that's the sign that it's part of this same company.

Hey, if they can make their money scamming people, they ought to enjoy it now. I guarantee there's a special place in the afterlife reserved for them. I'm glad I didn't take it any further, and if YOU accept a job offering from them, look them up every step of the way. Ask "who's that?" and "what's their connection to the company?" and "what's this company's name anyway?" and hopefully you'll see through the Bluster and Smoke (BS) they throw your way to find some real answers.

Bless you!
