Hello everyone, My name is Arifeen and I am from Pakistan. I am new t o freelancer.com and had great expectations and Dreams.

My main field of expertise is Game testing (Basic)
Secondary Fields are basic knowledge of excel, Ms word searching the web for data and typing it for the employer. For part time projects and full time projects.
English skills are Decent since I was not formally educated in English but learned from Cartoons,movies, Chatting and Music.

So Why am I disappointed ?
Well I search mostly MMORPG and data entry projects and what do I find in the data entry projects? Someone sending me a captcha filling site and user name. I think its Illegal and hurts people around the world.

So I am suggesting that freelancer.com should do something about it or give it a separate category so that people like me looking for honest work do not waste their bids on such projects.

Sorry for typing such a long introduction but I wanted to get it off my chest.

Regards
Arifeen

"Data entry" work is just a euphemism for spamming forums and blogs.

Oh man I cannot believe people hire others for this type of work.

This is why I laugh at outsourcing. I could literally ship over a book, and pay someone to re-type it for under $150.
