About Planet Bollywood

PlanetBollywood.com belongs to the INDOlink family of websites, which is the first and largest ethnic internet media network serving South-Asians and Indians worldwide since 1995.

It also gives recommendations from the website (in terms of what movie to watch and what not), movie reviews, public ratings, music review, top songs of the week, and news about daily happenings in Bollywood.
This website's load time is pretty fast despite of having so many images and advertisements on it. Color theme and layout is quite soothing to the eye and easy to understand, but nothing special stands out in terms of creativity knowing that this is a well-funded and maintained website

Online Data Posting review

onlinedataposting.org is one of those website which almost slipped past the radar of my negative review. Simply because there is nothing new in this website. Once you visit this website, you would feel that you have already visited here and you have already been disappointed with it. Look and feel along with template design is seen in many work-from-home-job-posting websites. So most probably you will scroll down to the bottom of the page to see if they are talking about making any sort of payments to the website. And yes, this website asks you to pay 1299 INR, which apparently is a low price due to a running promotion on this website, which is going to end very soon.
So, without bothering to get into much details and probing about their work offerings and opportunities, I closed that portal. Wish I had a 'Block' or 'ignore' button on my browser or on the google search results page, clicking on which i can tell my browser to not to open that website again. And similarly that page won't come in the search results either.
Funniest thing about the website is, that they have put some user testimonials on the website apart from a user agreement in which they mentioned that they don't give any guarantee of the payments or the work been given to me.

Online Writing Jobs review

www.online-writing-jobs.com is website for posting and bidding for freelancing jobs online. Website has a pretty weird looking structure and it looks as if it is build in a hurry. Almost everything is placed in one page, right from header, menu, advertisements, long job menu, featured job menu and footer at the bottom. I had to scroll down to see if they are asking to me pay any money, which thankfully they were not. I started exploring the jobs mentioned by them, and few things did appear impressive to me
-- Job posting rate: Last job was a day ago, which means that website has nice user base and the projects get posted and taken regularly also.
-- Different categories of Jobs: Jobs are posted under many categories, most of the jobs are under content-writing categories.

Now getting to the business, I did tried to choose a proof-reading job and see its details. I noticed that job poster has mentioned that they will pay me via net15 pay only. I also checked other jobs then, and I noticed that they had mentioned another mode of payment. It means that this website is not going to facilitate payment to the workers here. This is quite risky since the employer can always get away by not paying to me. This had happened to me once on Freelancer.com more than 6 months ago and Freelancer.com is still asking me to wait. I choose not to go further in this website. It is real pity that this website showed a lot of promise and only the lack of 'payment facilitation' has altered my decision to not to pursue this website further.

Next Gen Paid Surveys review

www.nextgenpaidsurveys.com is a pamphlet like website which pays you for taking surveys. Having been through many such paid-for-surveys website, I knew what this website had to offer so I simply scrolled down to the bottom to see if they are asking any member ship fees. As it turns out, they don't charge any membership fees like many other paid-to-surveys websites. Soon as I decided to click on 'Join now', I scrolled up a little to face another disappointment '100% money back guarantee'. There was no mention of how much money they are going to ask me to pay, so I figured out that this information will be shared once I get registered with their website.

I have absolutely no regard or time for such websites which ask you to pay money before they will give you work. I decided not to join the list of people who are getting fooled by this website and said goodby to their portal once and for all. I wish there was a way to tell Google not show such frauds in their search results. Lot of people like me who haven't tasted failures of wasting money on such website would have fallen in this trap.

Ad Click Jobs review

www.adclickjobs.com is just a information page having a link to bunch of articles explaining how to make money on different platforms on internet. There is no job posted here. Though the name of the website sounds like one having a lot of click-to-pay jobs, but there are none posted here. There is no other jobs posted either. All you have here is a list of articles, and lots of articles. Theme of all these articles is to lure you into clicking them by showing you dreams about how you can make money online using just an internet connection.
I tried to be reasonable again and I clicked on one of the link that said 'How to make money from facebook'. Now if I read this text, it comes across as one having some secrets about making money by simply using facebook, but it is actually about how a well established business can make money from using their already existing facebook fans. Needless to say that you wouldn't have clicked on this link, if you had an already established business, would you?
All other articles are just as big a cheat like this. Don't waste your time here, this website is only designed to put advertisements and make money from those pages.

Real Translator Jobs review

www.realtranslatorjobs.com is another offline job offering portal. It is a simple website which tells you that you can earn about 35$ for translating a document and more than 100$ for another translation job. This is an outrageous amount and no matter how experienced you are in getting disappointed from fake job offers, you are going to sign-up with their program, at least just to see what happens after getting signed-up.

And I did the same thing. I signed-up on this website and it lead me to another page where I could see tons of other outrageous and ridiculous claims and offers. At the end of the webpage, you will be asked to pay 34$ to join their program.

Needless to say, I didn't joined their program since this is too exorbitant price to pay for doing work for somebody and also I have already been disappointed once after paying money for googlenetjobs.com

Biz Whiz review

When you open biz-whiz.com up you see half of the content section of the page filled up with advertisements, and that too Google Adsense. After that you scroll down in hope of finding something genuine work from home opportunity, but what you see there is a list of articles about 'work from home'. These articles are like tutorials on different methods of earning money using internet connection from home. You keep scrolling down the long list in search of a hint or a link which will say 'Click here to earn money', but you don't see anything at the bottom.
There is a small and relatively less noticeable section at the right side where there is a link to join their forum by registering and there is a small section on the left side to login into the forums. On the right side there is a section to see latest posts on the forums as well. Apart from that there is a menu list of articles on left side and right side, apart from a lot of advertisements.
I would suggest that its better to read more from wikipedia rather than wasting your time on this website. It tells nothing about work from home that you don't already know.

Top work from home jobs

www.topworkfromhomejobs.com is nothing but a facilitation or advertising portal where an employer (who is going to give work from home jobs) will give an advertisement about their website and brief of their work. Before that this website make tons of claims how it will completely change your life and how you will reach that point in your society when you will be in top 2% in terms of income and status.
Apart from this it also has a 'Article' section listing various news article from different sites like Google, Yahoo and Bing. These articles are also about work from jobs only. There is also an 'About Us' section where you can give your feedback about this website.

Read Data Jobs Info review

www.realdatajobsinfo.com looks like a good old pamphlet page about work from home offers, which simply tells about different offerings that this website has to offer to all those internet users who are dreaming about finding a way to actually earn money doing offline and online jobs. Then there is a list of offers and claims they make in loud, outrageous, but appropriate fonts and colors for this type of website. Following that they answer some questions where they mentioned that one doesn't need any special qualification group to pursue this career, and then some testimonials of payment made by this website.

Then comes the moment of truth where the viewers have to make a tough decision whether to buy these claims made by this website, or just let it slide and move on. I made a similar decision a year back when I had pay 1500 INR for a similar work, but was bitterly disappointed with it. Also, it feels quite stupid to even think that you have to pay to work when it should be other way around.

Net Jobs for all

Yes, another scam site which promised data conversion offline jobs, but only end up taking my email id, phone number and address. It is quite similar to dataconversionjobs.com which I have explained in my previous text module. In fact it looked almost like an replica of that website, since it had the same template and same procedure for registration. Both of them had the same referral program which is not yet activated. Both of them tells you that they will only share the work on emails only, and after some time you start getting spam emails from similar websites.

Again, it felt like both websites belong to the same owner, and I won't be surprised that there are more such websites floating around fooling people after luring them into the data conversion offline jobs. And I am sure that I am going to find them all and post it here and hopefully it will help some people.

Data Conversion Jobs

DataConversionJobs.com is a site that promise you data entry job offers after you have done registration for them. Their offer is quite modest one as you will only earn 100 INR for every page that you convert. But if you have been looking for part time online jobs, and facing disappointments day in and day out then I bet that even this is going to water your mouth. But before you even think about using this site and invest your time it, you need to check my experience with it.

Well, either I have been having a very bad time looking for a way to make money from online job, or it is just that there is not a single genuine website of such kind. It hasn't asked for any demo page, or naukri.com's id, or timesjob.com's id, or download and install any specific messenger. But ever since I have applied for work in this site by following the process of their registration, I haven't heard from them. But there is a steady flow of spamming emails from unknown sources, which will have links they will encourage you to click if you want to earn money online. I know these are spam emails since the links it has is nothing but affiliate links and they lead to similar scam sites only.

May be I am too impatient, since I am been trying to look for a part time online job for 9-10 months now, or may be it is gut feeling that I shouldn't ignore, but I just get the feeling that this website isn't genuine one. I am not yet writing this site off personally, since there has been a few sites which are genuine in their promise, but if I my experience has told me anything then I feel its better to forget about it.

Job Jungle review

Yes http://www.jobjungle.info/ is yet another scam! Only difference from CjInc is that CjInc asks you to make Naukri.com's id, and Job Jungle will ask you to make TimesJob.com's id. Both of them ask you to download Paltalk messenger too, and has similar procedure for applying. And then when you apply to them, you will face disappointment like I did.

Both websites have similar template and structure. They have got almost all the features same. Voice Job, Proof Reading, Advertise, etc are in both of them and skill requirements mentioned in both website is also same. Both of them will ask you to select your country before giving same step list of what all to get before you apply there.

Both these websites are incredibly same, and for some reason it looks like that both these websites are being owned by the same person too. I guess the idea would be to
-- multiple sources of displaying advertisements,
-- helping naukri.com and timesjob.com to get more traffic and get emails id list, which will then be shared with other email marketing sites too,
-- getting more and more user base for paltalk messenger

I guess if we look around in open source tool management sites, we will find something a open source tool which can help in getting a similar website up. All you need to do is find a hosting mechanism at cheap rates and then go for a google adsense id, from which you can get a sure shot earnings guaranteed even if you didn't manage to find a buyer for email ids.

CjInc review

www.CjInc.info is a website that promises to offer you a work from home job. It asks you to follow a specific procedure before you get to reap any benefits from it. First one is to get the job junction id, for which they will give you a link to go to Naukri.com, but they won't tell you what to do there.

You need to follow these steps  
1) Visit Naukri.com and register
2) Create your resume there
3) Login into naukri.com and upload your resume  
4) Enter rest of profile details and submit

Your email address that you used to join Naukri.com is your job junction id.

For some reason, Cjinc.info website doesn't give this information and they just give a link to register for the Naukri's profile. They also ask you to give PalTalk messenger id which doesn't work at first, so i had to request them to take the aptitude interview on gmail's messenger or yahoo's messenger. This lack of documentation on their web portal is a severe form of stupidity and irresponsible behavior on CjInc's part.

But unfortunately I haven't heard from them since then, and I have started receiving a lot spam emails since then. Which makes me feel this website is nothing but a scam, and I am feeling screwed. It seems that they did lured readers into their website like others, but instead of simply asking them to pay money they made them send emails. I guess they have collected a lot of genuine email ids by now and sold them to email marketing companies. Email marketing companies always struggle to get hold of genuine email accounts, but using this technique they have got hold of a lot of genuine email readers who were seeking a genuine job opportunities.

I am not new to these scams, and I started thinking that I cannot be cheated now. But I guess I am now. I am now thinking that i will report all those websites here which used the similar techniques to lure user into their websites and collect information from them which is then sold to other parties. Hopefully i will be able to save a few people from being cheated.
