working from home sending envelopes etc? discuss

RECIEVED LEAFLET FROM "DELTA DATA SERVICES" SAYING THEY PAY £1.20 PER ENVELOPE. SOUNDS GOOD LETTER HEAD HAD VAT AND DATA PROTECTION NUMBERS AS WELL AS FULL ADDRESS. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. CAN YOU MAKE ANY MONEY AT IT?
THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR ADVICE. P.S THEY HAVE ASKED FOR £14 UP FRONT. ???

I am afraid it is a con.
Companies can buy machines that will stuff envelopes for pennies so there is no way this can be for real.
It simply does not make sense to pay people to do this (certainly not at that rate anyway).

If there are envelopes to stuff then it will be their own advert asking people for £14 up front.

Don't do it.

I agree. Take no notice of anything that asks for money up front that you don't know about.

I know someone who replied to this company for envelope stuffing, basically you pay money to them upfront for 'admin' or similar, and then they will send out very menial work to do, which is monotonous, long and not worth the pitance you will get paid. My friend completed the first batch of stuff they sent to her in an attempt to make her initial cost back, but then gave up, and would never do it again.

Don't try schemes like this - there not the easy work-at-home jobs for extra cash they seem.

i work with a girl who used to work for a company that puts these adverts out, they are a con, and the man who put the advert out is mega rich, so dont line his pocket any more.
