I It was in March, 2014 when I stumbled on an advertisement on Vconnect website for data gathering exercise. Because of my passion for online activities, after reading the description of the job I picked interest and submitted my application for the job. Two days after I received an email from Vconnect congratulating me for getting the job. I was sent a letter of introduction from Vconnect, introducing me as their Data Gathering Officer (DGO). The purpose of the letter was to clear doubt in the minds of business owners whenever I go to gather their business information. The job was a freelance type that warrants going from on bussiness center to the other to gather their business data and upload them on Vconnect website for verification, approval and enlistment. This include; business name, location of business, description of product and services, and contact information like; phone numbers, emails and websites. After uploading their data, Vconnect calls the phone numbers of the business owners to confirm if they exist. I earned Fifty Naira for each confirmed existing business. I did the job from March to October, 2014 before I received an email from Vconnect that the data gathering exercise for 2014 would end. I made thousands of Naira from the data gathering job. Payment was made every weekend and you are due for payment when you have earned upto One Thousand Naira in your account. I received payment alert every weekend. I used my ipad and blackberry phone to do the data gathering exercise.
