Do you think this is legitimate

Hello,

I live in Mumbai, India. I saw some work at home classifieds in the local newspaper claiming to pay Rs 60,000 per month for simple typing work that you can do at home. All you need is a computer Some of these ads said that you don't need internet but this might be bluff. One of the ads stated that you get some work on Excel but that might also be bluff. A full time typist in India does not earn more than 15 to 20 thousand rupees per month.

I called up the number of one of these ads and spoke to a badly trained and suspicious telemarketer. She spoke to me rapidly in Hindi and the only thing I understood was that I was going to get work filling up forms. Since I was not understanding what she was saying I told her to send me more information by email. She said she would but has not done so.

Going by the available information it is possible that this is really a con job that requires you to pay money for enrollment. I have been scammed in this way before by a company which claimed to have a director with family links to Sabeer Bhatia - the founder of Hotmail. At that time I received no money for the work that I had done and the company simply folded up two or three months later and closed its Mumbai office.

It is also possible that the work involved taking part in online surveys which require you to either give your email or give your opinion on a particular product. I will not have used the product and filling up such surveys would be a fraud on the company concerned.

Or it may be legitimate but in that case why didn't I receive an email from them.

Anyone else with an opinion or any experiences to share
