"Earn A Few Quid" cards put through my letterbox?

Options
I hav received these before, and have always wondered what they are? Does anyone know? the card says...:

"EARN A FEW QUID"
Earn £50-£500
Per Week
*Part Time or Full Time
*Simple and Flexible
*Massive Earning Potential
Many people in the UK and Ireland already earning in excess of £500 per week part-time,
For a Free information pack - Telephone
(then 2 numbers are given)

I've seen these before, but as I work from home already if this was legit I would be interested, but giving no details at all on the card, and no website to find out more? Also, I googled the "Earn a few quid" and found a website that seems to be part of it, but again no information is given, and just says to apply for an information pack..

any details would be appreciated :)

    any businss offering a monetary amount but not informing you what is required is a scam.

    proper businesses want experience and dont want people wasting their time if they dont fit the bill..

    anythin offering a commission without description is probably a fake franchise or a set up fee. and you commission is based on you getting more people to sign up

    basically a pyramid scheme

    Pyramid Schemes are illegal in the UK. Multi Level Marketing is not there is a a difference.
