Envelope stuffing jobs

[Syringer]

So I see these fliers around my college for stuff envelopes and making thousands a week, and supposedly it's "guarenteed".

Surely it's a scam, but what happens exactly? Do you send like 50 envelopes a week with $20 bills in them or something?

You end up loosing money on them. Unless you can stuff over 150,000 envelops a week and you can get a discount on postage and use a postage meter, you'll loose lots of money. That's what they want. You're slave labor basically. The few people who actually make money off these are a rare selected few. It's just like any of these money making schemes. You're only going to make money if you are one of the very lucky few.

SCAM

You have to advertise someplace, get people to respond, then you send them an envelope. It's not as simple as stuffing envelopes and mailing them off. Search on the net ... you'll find an abundant source of websites stating this very thing.

Don't listen to these haters, they are just jealous of successful people like me and to be millionaires like you.

i thought they were all SCAMS

but my wife told me my sister in law does it once in a while , through somebody she knows. i was surprised because everything i have read at consumer related/protection type sites says SCAM

In this same vein, has anyone else seen these flyers advertising high paying jobs to save the environment? I see those ALL the time.
I just laugh because I think it is ironic because they are killing countless trees to put out these hundreds of colored flyers daily.

Get paid to put up hundreds of flyers telling others about jobs putting up flyers about saving the Environment.

My mom did that once. Brought home a bunch of envelopes that needed to be stuffed. It wasn't a scam really, but it was SOOOO not worth it. There were like 10,000 envelopes.... the most monotonous work ever. It took way too long, and was definitely not worth the $400 she got for it.

Rule of thumb is if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Just be careful and follow your instincts.

Say for example, a job is advertised to pays $5000/week. If it really pays that much a week, do they really need to advertise on a street lightpost? I like how they like to target college campuses because they know just how desperate college students are for money.
