Stuffing Envelopes

DIAMOND_2

Hia,

I need some extra cash to pay off some debts and was looking to do some sort of work from home.

Are all these envelope stuffing things a con?????

Does anyone have any experience on this???

Hi Diamond

Yes I'm afraid that most envelope stuffing things are a con. There are machines and companies that specialise in this and there is no way that they would pay someone to do what a machine can do.

As a general rule dont think about sending money to any company that requires money to register as most of these companies do.

In the mortgage free board there is a thread called the great bit on the side hunt. You will find some great ideas for home based work there.

Good luck!

The usual routine is that you send them cash for a "starter kit" and they promise to pay heaps for anything judged acceptable (nothing ever is...). Applies to many other "homeworking" scams - cash up front is normally a bad idea.

I can confirm it is a scam.

I ditto what others have said never pay money upfront often these are scams.
