    Did not know the stuffing business was still out there, This is one of the funny ones, I actually did it about 20 years ago, made a lot of money for about 3 months till the Postal inspectors came investigating mail fraud.

    I have never seen one that was real

    Hi, larrell!

    I just titled and moved your question that you had posted as an answer/response to someone else's question so that yours would get noticed much more as being your own. This place doesn't operate the same way that a chat room does. So, if someone wants to ask a new question that's not related to the original question, it's best to be placing the new question on an entirely new thread.

    Seems kind of hard to find a link to a site where it is actually being offered as a way to make money. I wonder where you found that it was offered as a job opportunity, if you did find a place where it was being offered as such?

    There are plenty of sites devoted to it being a scam, though.

    Thanks!

    If the offer is too good, investigate more... coz if it really makes money, human instinct is not to reveal secret...

    Wow... how much money did you end up making?

    There are large maling houses that handle these things by machine. Much more cheaply then paying a person to do it.

    A few years ago I tried that, it was quite a waste of time and money then shortly after everywhere I went to on the internet talked about how big of a scam it is.
