To my understanding, aside from scams, there are a few so-called Data Entry companies hired people to work or to train the poeple up first. (To my understanding, maybe the software / some privacy Act that you have to fulfill gua.)

This data entry job is a little different because it involves calculation as well. One simple mistake and you're out of the job.

P/S: Once you're an expert, you may bring home and work. But the "mistake" thingy stills apply. You may earn big bucks but carelessness may vary. All the best.
