The ads quality rater at Google should be legit. I’ve been working for Google since last year as a Quality Rater(a different job). For my job, the pay is $15/hr, and they pay weekly. The work at home part is great. Because of a nondisclosure agreement, I can’t tell much about the job.

Google does not give out much information, but the wahm.com board has a thread about these jobs. According to them, you can only work a job two years because it is temporary. Two years is better than nothing.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who loses track of what I have applied for. I received an automated response today that they were going over applicants and I have no idea which job it was. :0)

i dont know which one it was, one of the newsletteror article writer but i immediatly got a response and it was spam. Sad but true.
I have no idea how to keep track on who I am applying to, i should really keep a file system but since things on craigslist are never specific to who your applying to it gets hard you forget who and what you were applying to!

@ Teresa-

Not sure if the job is a fake or not, but Cumming is indeed a city in Georgia (not too far from me, actually) so I’m assuming that part is at least real…

@Maryam – is that the google ads one? I got a response back saying they were looking over applicants and would be in touch when they’d narrowed the field.

Teresa – I think it’s a fake. There’s a guy that’s been posting all over Craigslist recently asking for writers of erotica and then basically looking for phone sex during the “interviews.” If you apply, be wary, just in case it’s the same guy.

umm one fo the ads is spam, beware. I just got a ” earn money for free ” thing

Sigh there isn’t really anyway of knowing what’s legit is there?

Is the erotica ad in Cumming, GA for real ?
Cumming??? And specifies a female writer? Sounds odd to me but I am Patty Paranoid.
