Hey guys, have you ever come across those ads claiming you can get paid for stuffing envelopes? 
Is it a real opportunity or just another scam? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
Those “get paid for stuffing envelopes” ads are usually scams. It’s best to avoid them and look for legitimate remote work opportunities instead.
I once got caught up in the allure of those ads claiming you can make money by stuffing envelopes. After some research and talking to others who’d tried it, I found that most of these opportunities are scams or low-paying schemes. Genuine envelope-stuffing jobs are rare and typically offered by legitimate companies with established reputations. It’s always best to be cautious and research thoroughly before committing to any job offer that seems too good to be true.
Hello There, The promise of easy money from stuffing envelopes is usually a scam. These ads entice people with false claims of high earnings for little effort.
How Scams Work:
- Upfront Fees: You may be asked to pay for supplies or training.
- Pyramid Schemes: Recruitment is prioritized over actual work, creating a pyramid structure.
- No Work: Often, there’s no real business, and you’ll never receive any envelopes to stuff.
A similar scam my friend fell for in the early '90s - she was assembling a product at home and then sending it to a company. So she bought the materials and paid for shipping to the company, then she would be paid.
Well, of course her ‘quality’ was low, so the company 'couldn’t sell it’s, so she never got paid. She was invited to buy more product and try again, and then she would receive a small payment, but the next time nothing again.
Was a pretty shitty lesson for someone in their teens.
