This is the worst kind of spamming job that one can find in data entry section.
Do you know what captcha entering actually means?
There are many online spammers who are actively working on the development of new and improved spam tools: instead of doing any useful work, they are wasting their time in the development of bad products. One of these products is used in captcha entering jobs.
No Spam Work
What really happens in this work is that: you are required to use a simple tool to create 1000's of accounts at some site. Many spammers want to create these accounts at email related sites like Gmail, Hotmail etc.
During the email registration process, Gmail and other sites require us to enter few characters or numbers from an Image into a small box. This is called Captcha protection. These sites use this protection to protect their systems from abuses from spammers.
What abuses?
If a person starts to create 1000's of email accounts at Gmail or any other website, then this will be an abuse. Gmail is not offering their useful services to people who want to create huge number of mail accounts which they can then sell online to other spammers who will then use them to send out Spam Emails to different people.
If Gmail removes the Captcha protection then spammers can simply use their tools to create hundreds of accounts in few seconds. Their tools are designed to fill up the email account form/fields automatically with random information.
But with the Captcha protection ON, their tools cannot proceed in the registration process unless someone manually enters the characters/numbers from the Captcha image. Here is when these spammers need other people to help them.
They open projects in the data entry category and normally hire New Comers. Users are given some software/tool which they need to run on their PC: this tool Runs Its Spam work in the background and then asks the user to enter the required Captcha information into a box.
I am explaining all this spam process in detail as I want New Comers to understand what non-legit work is so that they can avoid it.
Basically, whenever you see a job whose title contains the work "Captcha", you should always ignore them or the better thing to do will be to report such projects to the Freelance Support.
Please note that: I have only mentioned the creation of Email accounts via automated process: there are many other types of captcha jobs where you may be required to use automated process to create accounts at other sites. Do not take any project where you are required to create accounts at any site using automated process. Some spammers may even ask you to create accounts manually: these are also non-legit projects.
Please remember that online earning is just like working at any office: we all have to respect the Rules and Regulations of all sites that are involved in our work. We cannot do any job that will violate the Terms of Service of any Website or Company.
