Beware of Promises of Easy Money
If you respond to a classified ad running in the Harbour City Star, be prepared to get scammed.
The ad promises earnings of $1,000 weekly stuffing envelopes. They claim they are legit and the income is guaranteed. When you go to the advertised website you will be greeted with the above graphic once again promising easy riches for easy work.
The ad claims you can make $4 for every envelope you stuff with brochures pointing out that if you stuff 75 brochures you will make $300. They say they will send you the pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelopes and brochures for you to stuff.
The website goes on at great lengths trying to sell you on their legitimacy and why companies are willing to pay people working from home $4 for a few minutes work. Think about it! Why would anyone pay $4 to put some brochures in an envelope??
The catch?? Before you can begin making all this easy money, you have to send their company $37.00 in the form of a registration fee!!
If you are gullible enough to send these scammers your $37 you may or may not get anything for your efforts. Most likely you will get a few envelopes with some lame instructions that will never work. Or even more likely you will get nothing except another come-on explaining how much more money you can make by sending them another 'fee'.
These envelope stuffing scams have been around since the Ark and every now and then someone brushes it off, and gives it a new twist and hopes for a new batch of suckers to take the bait.
During tougher economic times, people can become more desparate and may put their better judgment aside in the hopes of making some good money. Don't fall for it, you will just waste your money.
I wonder why the local paper needs ad revenue so badly they run these apparent scam ads?
