Scam Free Success
http://www.scamfreesuccess.com
You see them everywhere those ads stating you can make a
living stuffing envelopes or stapling documents together.
You know...the ones that go something like this:
"We need home mailers to work FT or PT to stuff envelopes
at a rate of $1.00 per envelope plus $15.00 per order you
generate by your mailings! You can make $500.00 or more
per week working in the comfort of your own home."
For the most part you will be required to send a "small
fee" to receive your supplies to get started.
The amount varies but is usually kept low enough to entice
you to simply send cash. Many don't even offer you the
option to pay by credit card.
Why not? Well, if you pay by credit card there is a chance
that when you don't receive what you paid for you will come
back on them through your credit card company.
This fee is supposed to be for supplies, but with the scams
what you usually get for your money is a letter and
complete instructions on how and where to advertise to get
other people to send you their "small fee".
So in fact the only earning potential is to mislead others
into sending you their money and then you instructing them
to do the same.
Are there legitimate envelope stuffing opportunities? I can't
say that there aren't but I can say that I've yet to find one.
It's hard to believe that in this day and age with technology
being as advanced as it is that anybody would need envelopes
stuffed or documents stapled together manually. This entire
process can be pretty much handled by automation or by
companies offering automated mailing services.
If you are seriously contemplating joining this type of
opportunity. Please proceed with caution.
Learn as much as you can about the company. Find out exactly
what you will be getting for your money and who will be
paying you. Get all the details on the payment structure and
don't ever send cash.
Only deal with Companies that list their physical address,
phone numbers and accept credit card payments.
If you pay by credit card and don't receive what you paid
for, at least you can work with your credit card company for
a refund.
