I don't know if someone already warned you guys about this company - Mega Access Resources.

This company has been advertising in The Star newspaper calling for people to fill in the data entry position. When you call up, they ask you to come for interview at their company located at 7th floor, Plaza Imbi.

There, you are asked to fill up a form, and wait for your turn to be interviewed. Heck, it's not even an interview. They call you in 2 by 2, and explain to you about the job.

You will be given an assignment per week. Each assignment is 100 - 200 long. and your pay is RM300 - RM400 per assignment. If you finish the assignment fast, you can hand it in and get your pay on the same day, and a new assignment will be given to you.

Sound good, eh. RM400 per week.

But you have to pay them RM145 for the application fee, processing fee, and many other fees and they make it sound like you are getting so many benefits from them.

So you go back home and wait for them to call you and tell you if you are the lucky one to be selected by them. Well yes, they will call you the next day and tell you "congratulations, you got the job among the many many people who applied."

Don't go for it.

They make you sign contracts and agreements and they give you receipt and everything. They make it sound so real and true. But the assignment they give you are all fake. They will tell you the client has some problems and they will get you a new client and they make you wait for months.

I was on my holiday break and I thought I could take the opportunity to burn my time and earn extra allowance. But when i hand in my resume, the lady (high rank in company who interviewed me) saw my college's name (Taylor's College) and asked "oooohhh, you nak jadi taylor ke?" She doesn't even know what Taylor's College is.

Lesson learnt.
Expensive lesson indeed.

Now to think of it I'm really stupid.

No company will make you pay them first. If they want to charge you, tell them to deduct it from your assignment pay then. At least you are assured that you will get the assignments.

Besides, if they are the middle person, the companies that they help to get data entry people will pay them, not the data entry person itself!

rm145 is too much.
the actual data entry job doesn't require you to pay at all. you key in data, they pay you. that's the deal.

they are still advertising on the newspapers now. so don't fall for it! and pass the word around!!
