MAKING MONEY STUFFING ENVELOPES

This is one of the oldest scams in the book, so to speak. Beware of any "biz opp" or business opportunity promising you can make money doing something so simple like stuffing envelopes from home or by simply watching TV, or suggesting someone is willing to pay you to do anything that sounds so easy that anybody could do it. Do not be fooled!

Here is how this scam works. You respond to an advertisement which claims you can make easy money doing something easy that essentially any unqualified person could do. You send in your money, usually around $25 to $100, to get all the materials you will need to start making easy money.

All you receive are instructions how to "convince other people" to send you money to learn how easy it is to make money doing something easy! There are absolutely no jobs for "untrained" people to earn money doing jobs like stuffing envelopes or watching TV and there never has been any jobs like this for "unqualified" people! Your only job here is to persuade other people how easy it is to get other "suckers" to send them money like you were "suckered" into doing!
