Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 DO NOT send them any money!!! About 6 months ago, my Aunt saw an ad in her newspaper for this same scan -- $2.00 per envelope stuffed. Since she was looking for a little extra money, she thought this might be a good way to earn it. Well, she had to mail in a specified amount of money (I dont remember how much), so she went and got a money order. Instead of mailing it, she went to the place that it was supposed to be mailed to. She went in and bluntly asked the person if it was a scam. Of course the person said " no " . My Aunt then proceeded to tell this person that she hopes not, otherwise she will be on the phone with the County Executive. (She WORKS for the county exec.!!). Well, long story short (kind of..lol) she gave the " business " ample time to send her the envelopes, and she never heard from them. She then called the police (I think it was the police....) and told them her story. They said it WAS a scam, and in fact they had justed arrested the people that were running it! My Aunt told them that she gave them a money order. They said that they had a room full of boxes with checks/money orders that people had sent, which they were holding as evidence, and if she wanted to, she could come down to look for hers. She did and luckily it was in one of the first couple of boxes she searched through. She said there were hundreds of boxes!! Anyway, I am sorry that this was so long, I just didnt want ANYONE falling for it!! I still cant believe my Aunt did!! ---Michele U. Has anyone else tried and succeeded in home business of stuffingenvelopes?? Sounds silly,but it sounds easy enough. 2 dollars perenvelope...Anyone try it? I was thinking about it,but do not know which is a scam and whichis not. The one I have says it will refund the 19.95 you pay, for thepacket of info, with your first 100 envelopes stuffed. That may not be alot of money,but it is when you are poor..>> _________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
