@mgeman,
You are right. This does no seem genuine. Why must you first refer others and earn first from referring before you get the Job. Kwani what is the purpose. Is it to refer or to work and get paid for your work?
I notice Ojmurugu aim is to recruit wazauns (notice his id on the site link ojmurugu)
If you are in doubt, check some other sentiments about the site here.

I guess these guys are in the business of selling email addresses.
Almost all online data entry jobs are scams. If you are looking for genuine jobs online, you need to have a particular skill (because people are looking for particular skills. If you get information like " you do not need any particular skills... bla bla. It is most likely to be a scam.
Sites like
www.elance.com have genuine Jobs which you can bid for and you might get some work to do if you have the skills. Sometimes I do post my Jobs there and get services from providers.
They have jobs ranging from Web and programming, Design & Multimedia, Writing & Translation, Admin. Support, Sales & Marketing, Finance & Mgt, Legal and Engineering & Mfg.
Indians get quite a big nummber of these jobs because of their low bidding compared to USA and European providers but I have a strong opinion that Kenyans can challenge them. One particular area is article writing. Indians will quote low but will do very poor articles. I guess Kenyan's on average have better English writing skills than Indians.
