Hi,
There are many precautions one needs to pay attention to before applying for data entry jobs
PRECAUTIONS-
1. Avoid companies that ask you to pay for administrative expenses, certifications, data on employers or training programs. A legitimate employer who offers a data entry job will not require any initial outlay from the job seeker.
2. If you're looking for an online data entry position, you need to be very careful. There are a lot of job scams advertising what appear to be legitimate positions. Work-from-home job scams are perhaps the most common online scam.
3. Do your due diligence by researching a company that offers a data entry job. A legitimate company should have credible online information about its location, contact details, activities and workforce. Do not work for companies that lack this information.

Hi,
MEANING-
Data entry is an industry in which employees add, verify and edit electronic data. Many companies need people to transcribe notes from meetings, add raw data into databases and add sales figures into electronic formats multiple times during the course of a business day.

seems you are new victim of data entry fraud.
it is legal to deal with personal data of citizens of other countries.
the fraud will come out in open in starting itself. frauds ask money in various names before starting or within first time when payment time comes.
