Yes, and that's how you said the Africard was banned.
Do you have any update?

Did it work for one month after it was said with reason given that it is because scammers and fraudsters are using it now that it is rampant?

For your information, I've known Africard since 2013 and you people forming boss knowing it in 2019 should calm down.

Then when someone who knows it for that long talks, I think you should care listening and believing.

If people like me didn't codely unleash the secret since 2018, you might not know of it in 2020 although it started becoming well known mid 2019.

Thank you, Sir.
I didn't discredit your contributions to PayPal's popularity in Nigeria.

I'm just not in support of people coming online to give uncertain/half-baked info.
I've also been operating a PayPal account since 2018, nothing special there.

I give update based of facts and you don't expect me to be dropping evidences that might not be necessary or are confidential.

Out of the bank. The story I was told is that the Africard portal as a whole is down. I filed a letter of complaint and I'll follow up tomorrow if I don't hear back from them.
Thanks for the heads up. I really appreciate.

Those using it for scams and frauds should know that they are no longer under cover plus UBA is working on measures to curb those practices.

I haven't been transcribing on Qaworld. So no, I didn't use Africard. I think they're just trying to prevent money laundering or fraud,
where have you been working? Scribie?
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by Inehmesit: 9:49am On Mar 19, 2020
Anyone knows any other transcribing site?
This Qa is not giving me any calls, every time I check, nothing is available
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by FarmWell: 10:04am On Mar 19, 2020
So which PayPal is best to open for easy sending and receiving, Lesotho or South Africa? Heard SA PayPal allows both fnf and gns, Lesotho Only sends with gns. What does this mean?

Coronavirus. But you could try Scribie with the worst pay in the busimess
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by Inehmesit: 10:07am On Mar 19, 2020
Oh, that’s true, I was wondering what could be the problem, why do you say Scribie has the worst pay, is Qa the best when it comes to pay?

Qa is not the best, but arguably the easiest to get into. You can't get into other ones as easily. Scribie is somewhat easy too and does not even require speaker labeling. If you can just take the time to read their guidelines. BUT, the pay is as low as $5 per audio hour, which honestly is really poor.

Thanks for the update. I have also tried all the ATMs for all the banks this morning and nothing nothing. Please is it possible to send money to exchangers from Africard, because it brings credit card as an option when attempting to transfer money.

But what's their platform like? Difficulty in test and transcribing, frequency of jobs, etc.

Test requires you have read their FAQ as you will be transcribing an actual file. There are always jobs (except for COVID19 issue) but mostly low paying jobs.

I called a friend at their head office, and she said it's network issue, that it'll be resolved.


It is not a network issue neither is their portal down. I was able to transfer the money i had from my africard.

The not being able to transfer africard money, only affect those that recently withdrew from PayPal. I can't say what UBA is up-to.

Corona Virus wouldn't allow most of those companies operate. One FC UK call I attempted, the REP was quarantined and was calling from home.

My brother, just $2.53; although, I don't work there frequently. The 2.53 is from 4 files that I have been paid for.


What is your thought about GoTranscript?
Is it easy to work there?

Okay, so apart from Qa, which other would you recommend? Have you tried waywithwords?

I think I attempted a similar call. Worked hours on it and then gave it up. Something about getting the virus in Australia right?

FC UK calls are crazy as hell

It's not as easy as Qa in some aspects. You can just watch YouTube videos to see how it is
