More Fromhomedataentry.com Scam Results

Ok, this post may be lengthy since I have emails to include. I contacted scamfreezone.org they provide the scam free certificate that fromhomedataentry.com uses on their site. My first correspondence came from a Mr. Robert Bell and was cc'd to the owners of fromhomedataentry.com asking them to please reply. Immediately I received a reply from a Tina Cooper (Customer Service Rep) which stated:

Hello,

It never ceases to amaze me how people twist the truth to make us sound like a scam. We have only ever given ones excuse or not paying, and that is because the work was never completed. People have submitted assignments over and over without even completing any work and then get mad at us because they are not paid.

We pay all of our members that actually do the work, and we have proof of that on our website. It really upsets me that people try to scam us and then have the audacity to turn around and lie about us making it sound like we are the scam.

I can tell you that there is no way we would even be considered to be certified scam free if we even tried to scam someone.

We all work so hard to be able to provide a legitimate opportunity for honest people to earn some extra cash, and these people are ruining it for those who are honest.

I understand if you do not trust us, because really all it comes down to is that it is our word against theres. We are not going to try to convince you to try to join something that you are uncomfortable with. We only want people to join who really want to.


Thank you,

At this point I responded to the email with the following information:

Ms. Cooper, thank you for your response. I've received an email VERY SIMILAR to this in content and tone from a site called Realdataentry.net. I've yet to figure out how your company makes money and have a few questions that I hope you can answer. First of all it's a common knowledge that you don't pay someone so you can work for them, it's a red flag for scams. Second, how do your website owners contact you? It's not listed on your site that you offer the service. I'm sorry but I have many a question that leads me to believe otherwise.

Mr. Bell, thank you for your quick reply. Per your email I would like to further state my case.

Note: Following this email are links providing support for the claims below noted by *.

Regarding the site Fromhomedataentry.com. Their Terms of Service* do not state that assignments will be reviewed. The review process takes up to 7 weeks. From the time of initial payment, adding the time it takes to complete the assignments and the review time, the legal limitations to file a claim with your credit card company (including Paypal) have been exceeded (90 days).

It also appears that this website had a Scam Freee Certitificate* from another
company at one time. Why would the last company drop them, or why did they lose their certification?

Mr. Bell if you did a "Whois" search for fromhomedataentry.com you would find that
EVERY status regarding this company shows as "Unknown" except for the servers which
are owned by them. A legitimate company would list contact information; their terms
of service indicate you can not reach them by email because of spam concerns.
Sorry, a legit company HAS to deal with spam...it's part of the business. If you
call the phone number on their site you recieve an authomated voicemail that
doesn't even tell you the name of the company you contacted.

I've done some research and have found that their Terms of Service are 75% SAME
content as the Terms of Service from another site called Realdataentry.net who has
a reputation for scamming people. As a matter of fact there are several similarities
such as, sign up fees, number of assignments that need to be completed, the Free
Trial, etcetera. It is my opinion that in fact the two companies are related/owned/operated by the same person.

There is a blog that exposes this company/person in detail*. I don't know
about you Mr. Bell but ALL these facts throw up a red flag to me! This company is
not concerned about the hard times people have come across and they have found a
way to victimize poor unsuspecting and gullible people. Your company does not want to be associated with this type of business. With today's vast social networking a bad name in e-commerce goes a long way and spreads quickly. Exposing these types of companies seem to be the only right thing to do.

Mr. Bell, once again I want to thank you for your reply. I hope I've presented a
case that warrants your immediate action to deny them a "Scamfree Certificate" and
that you understand that fromhomedataentry.com should be listed on your site as a
scam. Please do yourself and your company a favor and do a "Google" search for the
keyword fromhomedataentry (minus the .com) and notice the negative sites that are
associated with them.

My Regards,
Luke

P.S. There is enough evidence that this company could be in violation of e-commerce
fraud.

This morning when I checked my email I had a follow up from Mr. Bell and Ms. Cooper. Here's what Ms. Cooper had to say:

Hello,

Well I just look at your article and while there are a few similarities, you have listed a bunch of half truths. Most of what you have mentioned below is not even accurate to our site at all. The price is not the same as you stated it is and you also stated that the amount of assignments you have to complete is the same which is also not true because we do not have any minimum requirements.

You say that there is enough evidence to show that we have committed fraud, however no one has ever been able to prove that we have. We have proof that shows that we pay all of our members that follow our terms, as well as plenty of proof that any member we have not paid has not followed our terms.

Being that you are not even a member of ours I am not sure what it is that you are trying to accomplish here. It is not like we can offer you a refund or anything like that.

You are mentioning a lot of inaccurate information in your emails, so you might want to get all of your facts straight, and get all of the information before you go and try to go up against a company, because we are more than ready for whatever it is that you have to throw at us.

Here's the email from Mr. Bell:

You got your answer now stop bothering them before they sue you.Get a life and a real job and stay off the Internet.

Tsk, tsk Mr. Bell....not a good nor professional answer. In fact I did some research on Mr. Bell since his email came from a robert.typeinternational.bell@gmail.com. It seems that if you did a Google search for typeinternational (minus the .org) you will notice that Mr. Robert Bell shows up in several searches as a scam artist himself. And his company Scamfreezone.org is offering scam free
certificates?!?!! No wonder the "Whois" search form scamfreezone.org comes up with all the status listed as "Unknown"!

I'll post later my new findings and other responses from these crooks!
