“Make extra money by stuffing envelopes from home!”

If you have ever seen this one or maybe considered it let me tell you now that this is a scam that has been around for years.

Advertisements for ‘at-home-envelope stuffers can be found in newspapers from the local library that date back several decades. Yet the advertisements are still posted because people still fall for it.

One of the reasons people fall for this scheme is due to the unsolicited mail they have received and they think somebody must have stuffed all those envelopes addressed to them.

But that is not the case. The junk mail arriving in our mail boxes is sent by bulk machines and no living person actually put anything in those envelopes.

The scam works like this. There is a fee to get you started in the envelope stuffing business. In return for this fee you get all the instructions to get started. The instructions that you will receive will be “how to” instructions for placing ads like the one that you just fell for to get others to send you money.

It’s a total con. The only way to make your money back is to fool others into thinking they can make money at home stuffing envelopes as well.

Fact: There are no work from home - envelope stuffing jobs to be had!
