Confusion

i'm busy looking for a job these day. got 12th april 'the star' beside me. one of the job vacancy have caught my attention. it's about typist work. it stated that i can work anywhere. no experience needed. nice. it seems easy enough for me to handle but i can stop myself from wondering "how this job work?".

typist is someone who type things right. logically so. but what kind of information that i have to type. no that's not it. how they supposed to give me job when i can work from anywhere.

(1) maybe they send me work via email and want me to type it. probably but what kind of work in what format. scan pages from a book in pdf?
- that's not right. why they waste their time scanning the book when they can use that time to type it themselves.

(2) or probably they mail it to me.
- time consuming. too much time consuming. they need to organize the data first and write my address on the envelope. then post it. they even have to pay for the mailing fee. if it's important they must deliver it via express delivery that may cost more.

(3) or probably they just give me a task and want me to write something about it and i have to seek for information myself.
- sound logic but if it so the job shouldn't be call typist. it is more suitable to call it writer. or maybe journalist.

maybe it is just a scam.

i called my sister and asked for her opinion and she said that it is not safe to join. they might asked for payment beforehand and unwilling to give any job afterward. i decided to try anyway. if they asked payment, i won't pay. and that's it. i just needed a job now. i'm broke...
