My question is about


I want to know if the envelope stuffing business a scam or real?

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...

Here is an FTC site about envelope stuffing:

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.
