No, I'm not recruiting. I'm just curious as to how many people would actually do this kind of thing. It's almost like those viral advertising companies that my brother just told me about. Too much work for too little if you ask me. (If it's even a real job, and not identity theft.)
 
Agreed too much work for too little.. Ask them to send you a sample of what they send out. Sounds like Nigerian scammers ;)

Are they looking for corrected texted as in text message speak or real english grammar Would be easy copy all text into word and run a spell check,. then send back. Using that method y0u could correct so much you could actually make some money..
 
1024 characters. This is assuming unicode. The standard conversion make that 1/2 a page, or 200 words.

It sounds like a good deal at first, but then you realize they'll give you 2mb of work, it doesn't sound like too good of a deal.
 
$1000 a month isn't worth waking up in the morning. Seriously.
 
Heck I do that for free online anyway, if it's legit I could see myself doing a few megs once in a while for some extra cash.

If you could just request some work when you're willing to do it instead of being locked down I'd be all over it.

You're a wiki nerd, aren't you?

That's why I would assume that it's a scam rather then anything legit...
 
No kidding. get 100mb of txt, grammer check, spell check, and send back. Thats mad cash in the bank.
