jobjungle.info, legit or scam?

There is something about jobjungle.info that makes me think that it is owned by the same person who owns cjinc.info (which I personally consider a scam in the sense that its intention is very different from what they make you believe is their primary intention-to give you a job). An analysis of cjinc.info shows that the site makes money primarily from adsense, software downloads, and signups. The same case happens at jobjungle.info.

Below is an analysis of the things that make me suspicious of the website:

1. Poor Grammar
I have said before that English is my second language and so I cannot brag about my level of English proficiency but I can certainly tell appalling English from good English. The level of grammar in jobjungle.info is quite unsatisfactory. You would think that being the professionals they claim to be, they would hire a proofreader to proofread their web content. As of writing this post, they had an opening for proof readers (which by the way has been open for as long as I can remember).

2. Redirections to weebly.com and blogspot.com sites
weebly.com and blogspot.com are sites that give you an opportunity to make a website, or rather a blog, free of charge. For testing purposes, I chose the proofreading job opening after which I was redirected to a different site-http://jobjungle.weebly.com. From there I was required to provide the following details as part of the application process:

jobjungle.info, legit or scam
Notice the fact that Job box ID and Paltalk ID are mandatory just like in the case of cjinc.info.
Also note the fact that the website does not have a business email address: it uses the free gmail account which is a bit unprofessional.

I clicked on the link provided in order to create the job-Box ID and I was redirected to another website: thoughtandmemory.org. Seriously? Why not 99designs.com which is the site where one is supposed to get the job ID? I continued in my search for truth and clicked on all the provided links and finally landed at the 99designs.com sign up page. I checked the site and discovered that they have an affiliate program. I also checked the referring URL and discovered that it had an affiliate ID. So I knew that they were making money from 99designs's affiliate program. Hmmm...such a brilliant idea.I did not sign up for I am not a designer.

I then clicked on the provided link in order to create a paltalk ID and found myself in a blogspot site: http://theresumes.blogspot.in. Seriously? Why not paltalk.com? Well, I clicked on the provided link and landed at Paltalk.com's sign up page. I did not sign up. Instead, I went straight to Paltalk.com's website and I realised that the company also has an affiliate program. This is their incentives to attract people into the affiliate program:
You can earn $.25 for every new registrant and an additional 30% of subscription revenue when that registrant becomes a paid member. Plus, Paltalk offers additional incentive tiers, coupons and much more!

That may not seem like much but 100 members means $25. And if you check carefully, you will realize that the referring URL has an affiliate ID. This means that every time someone signs up at Paltalk.com through their link, jobjungle.info earns a commission. 

In conclusion, this is my take on jobjungle.info:
1. The owners make money by directing people to paltalk.com and 99designs.com.
2. They also make money from adsense-that is why they redirect you to irrelevant websites-weebly.com and blogspot.com sites, all in the hope that you will click on one of the ads that are plastered all over the websites.
3. The owners act by connecting you to employers (can't confirm that this actually happens as I never signed up with them).


I do not know for sure but I would not be surprised if the person who owns cjinc.info is the same person who owns jobjungle.info. The similarity between the two sites is conspicuous.Notice the Types of job opportunities available, the fact that one is redirected to different websites to create a job ID, a paltalk ID and to get samples. They may not be scammers in that they do not even give you the jobs, but they make money by forcing people to sign up at certain websites.

One interesting thing is: of what use would an ID at 99designs.com be to me-the website only offers designer jobs-logos, flyers, book covers, etc. Seriously?

Just trend carefully-I have been signing up with many websites hoping to get jobs or other offers but one thing I have noticed is that spammers have also proportionately increased. This means that some websites sell people's email addresses to marketers for a profit.

  16. I can see a lot of people here looking for a legit part-time online job.

    The Sad Truth is that more often than not, most people failed to look for it at the right site.

    What I do recommend is to have some self-analysis first on your skills & capabilities and after that, you may try to start looking for available jobs at sites like ODesk, Elance, or Freelancer.com.

    As for me, like most of the rest like you - tried to also find one but realized that doing my blog (Allows me far Greater Income - please Click here) is far more fulfilling!

  23. I agree I have went on this job jungle site and cjinc site. these are non legitimate websites that claiming you can make $3 and such for typing one paper. it is also saying to sign up then you will download paltalk and you will see your id at the top of the page. when you go on the page you cannot find a login nor sign up button. I think it is a scam too.

  25. Well ! I did a whois lookup for this site jobjungle.info here WhoisXY.com . Here i got formatted information. Then i have searched some reviews in Google finally i saw some reviews here Scamadviser.com i got this message "Review: This site has some negative feedback." and here Webutation.net i got 100% web reputation.With these I think it is not safe to use .If you are satisfied with these reviews you can go with them otherwise keep away from this site .

  34. I have tried jobjungle before and its the worst of my online job hunting experience. My email got hacked afterwards and perpetrators accessed and emptied my liberty account. I hope everyone would research the credibility of the website first before trying anything at all.

  47. For starters, you can easily consider it as Internet jobs from your own home or part time jobs from your home. Either way, these jobs can be executed at the leisure of your residence, sofa or bed (and I really mean everywhere).

    Home based online jobs, as the title explains it, are jobs found and can be done on the web. Obviously, these are jobs related (pretty much) to the Internet.
