Hi,
I'm after some advice and I'd like your input.
We recieved a leaflet through the post yesterday of a money making opportunity. Basically, this company, Soilhull Printers (they supply mail order companies) will pay us £1.70 for each envelope we stick an address label on and send back to them. For 300 returned envelopes, we can earn £510 per week!
I'm (me & the wife) are considering doing this, but we have to pay £35 up front (to cover setup costs etc), but we have been told that this will be refunded in full once we send back 25 completed envelopes.
My question is, is this how these things work? I don't want to send them a cheque for £35 only to get ripped off...
DON'T DO IT!!!!!

It's a scam. What they actually want is peoples addresses to send the same letter to. You have to advertise that you have an opportunity for envelope addressing, when someone sees the advert they send you a SAE with their £10 cheque and you forward it. Hence you have to pay for advertising and it would take you ages to achieve the levels they are suggesting and for every envelope you sent them they would get £10.
I nearly got caught out on this quite a few years ago (was a naieve teenager at the time). I was curious to see what would happen if I sent my £10 in as I was fairly sure it was too good to be true but couldn't work out how it worked, so I replied to them. Received my pack then cancelled the cheque before they cashed it!
Ha, nothing like getting your own back! Never heard from them again, funny that.Wooligans squares so far - 15 x 8"Posted
