Conclusion:

VOT is a company who has no information listed online or anywhere else. The company is basically a website that offers you an opportunity to find work as a virtual assistant or data entry job. However, the rating of this company with the BBB is an F rating because of all the complaints and lack of information about the company and its owners.

If you sign up for this company, you’ll start receiving emails about potential jobs that are available for you to work at home. However, the emails that you receive are all from SCAM companies who offer you an opportunity to work for them for a fee. You’ll be required to give these companies money in order to find work through them. Furthermore, VOT makes you invest a large sum of money to create a website and host it online. However, when you finish paying these fees and presume your website is online, you’ll find out that it isn’t.

The company has no real work opportunities for you; they are only interested in earning a commission from two other websites that you are required to join. This is a total scam and the company doesn’t even honor their own private policy contact and will sell off your information to anyone and everyone who is willing to pay them for it.

There are many legitimate data entry companies online who will offer you legitimate work at home job. You won’t be required to pay any fees when working for these companies, and furthermore, they won’t require you to register with another company to search for a job. Stay away from this company and don’t give them any of your personal information. They will sell your information off and you’ll be contacted by other scam companies that promise you the best work at home opportunities with the highest pay.

  1. I was also skeptical about VOT so I tried a few random searches using the job descriptions they listed. What I found is that these positions are legit, but they generally are not work from home jobs. So it appears VOT simply does a cut and paste of real opportunities which look legit so they can steer job seekers to web.com to pay the higher than normal hosting plan. Not sure if web.com is aware of the scam or whether VOT is just receiving some sort of referral fee?

  2. It is so hard to find a legitimate company to work with online. You really need to do your research before you waste your time. Data entry jobs are listed online, however, most of them are not actually data entry positions I’d consider working. They have you waste your time to enter codes into the system all day for pennies. Most of these sites are scams and will end up banning your account before they will ever pay you.

    1. This site is worse than most. The company owner will sell off the email address in order to make a profit. You do all the work and can’t earn anything from this company.
