Why would
companies pay you to stuff envelopes when they can get an envelope
stuffing machine that will automate the envelope stuffing inexpensively?
Today,
machines
are used to stuff envelopes for less than one cent each. Why
would anyone pay you more than this? They won't.
Here's
why envelope stuffing is a scam
You
pay a registration fee. This is how the scam operator makes
money.
The
scam operator will then send you a copy of the ad you originally
responded to to solicit other people to suff ads into envelopes.
You have to place ads telling people they can make money stuffing
envelopes, and ask them to send a self-addressed stamped envelope
for information.
When
you receive someone's self-addressed stamped envelope, you
send them a copy of the ad.
You
have just "stuffed an envelope." If this person
sends in the registration fee to the operator (like you
did), the operator will send you $1 (or other amount that
was promised in the ad) for "stuffing the envelope."
You advertise for the operator for very low pay. You should
expect a response rate of 1/4% to 1/2%. This means that
if you get 200 responses from your ad, you'll make $1. Not
a good way to make money!
The
other envelope scams works like this.
You
send the registration fee, and the operator sends you a
package containing the components of the operator's mailings.
You must assemble, fold, and stuff the envelopes according
to the operator's exact instructions.
Then,
you send the stuffed envelopes back to the operator. You
will be paid for each stuffed envelope that "meets
their standards." None of the envelopes you stuffed
will meet their standards. They will always find a reason
not to pay you.
Don't
fall for envelope stuffing scams. Save your money
and put it towards a legitimate business.
