envelope fillers for extra cash at home?

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is:rolleyes:

I enquired with someone at my local library a few years back as I saw one of these adverts-just to check it out. Turns out they wanted by Trading Standards for requesting money from people; as they had requested money from me I was asked if I wanted to take action against them. As above, you dont get owt for nowt in this world!

If it's anything like the scams that have been around for years, you have to 'advertise' the same job yourself. You then send the enquiry envelopes on to the main scammer, who takes the lions share of the cash and sends you £1.60 for mailing the
envelopes (and I assume cheques) on to them. The phrase "also by following our three-step-free-method of advertising" gives the game away a bit. :rotfl:

You are the one who end up being seen as the scammer, along with all of the comeback.

Looking at their website at the refund policy:
"Hard back printed versions or cd, diskette may be retuned for a full credit minus handling & shipping charges of £19.99" :rotfl:
"In order to obtain a refund or exchange you must return your product back to ABSS UK LTD within seven day of your original purchase date". That's the date they logged it, not the date you receive it!

Steer well clear of this. It's one of the old scams, polished up with a website.

And (as I'm now feeling nosy) their 'business address' that they proudly boast about, is nothing more than a company that rents out 'virtual office space'.

Listed address: ABSSUK LTD, Head Office, Office 11, Signature House, 232A Rainhill Road, Merseyside, L35 4LD

The website of Signature House itself: http://www.signaturehouse.co.uk/virtual.htm

Avoid this at ALL costs!!

I talk form experience.
You dont write envelopes out, you advertise the same job that you have seen via shop windows or leaflets etc, those people, like you, who want to get rich quick send a SAE to you and you forward it to the company for your £1.60 payment.

You have to pay to advertise the scheme for them and you will make NO money!
Its a well known con and the wording of the advert doesnt make it clear that you are NOT writing envelopes but trying to get people to send you there details with a Self addressed envelope.

I have to confess that when I first read the post I thought it said addressing envelopes instead of stuffing them. I guess I just wanted it to say "Addressing Envelopes" and didn't bother to read the post properly.

Never mind, the main point is it's a scam and everyone now knows it.
