Default I've been scammed.

There is this online typing job which I thought was a "REAL" typing job already because they'll give you pdf format files and you're to type them on word documents while abiding by their rules. I joined and I typed 600 pages for them. They were supposed to pay men $1 per page but then they accused me of just copy pasting my work which I swear to God I didn't! I just knew I've been scammed!

What is the link for this online job? Did you pay for any fee to join? I hope you didn’t because it would really feel bad that you didn’t get paid and you paid for a registration fee.

What was the purpose of the scam? If they provide PDF files the white not copy and paste the said files into word? I thought typing jobs usually involves scanned files in jpeg or gif format.

If you got paid, then maybe you're now enjoying $60. Unfortunately, a lot of online typing jobs out there take advantage of the people's unawareness. However, if you still have plans of typing to earn money, make sure that it's not a scam by doing some research about them.
