I think they are because I ran across one of those adds last year and I called then number and the lady who answered said I would have to send them money so they could send me a book that I would have to study and then when I'm ready to take the test I would have to pay for that test to but if I passed the test they would send me money money back and they would place me somewhere... Well none of this made any sense so i just thanked her for her time and told her that I was not interested...

Letter stuffing companies are all scams. Not just some, but all of them. Companies that do mailings use envelope inserting machines that than process hundreds of letters per minute. Why would you pay somebody that could only stuff two or three envelopes a minute? Doesn't make sense.\n\nIf you actually do sign up for one of these scams, what you'll find is that you have to pay for the materials that they send you. Once you get them, you'll be directed to place ads in the local papers. If somebody responds, you stuff the envelope with the flyer you've paid for, into the envelope you've paid for, and place the stamp you've paid for on it. Then, if they respond and make a purchase, you'll get paid. But... there's usually a minimum they will pay for... like you'll have to have 100, 500 or 1000 responses to get paid. And what are these mail stuffing companies offering?  Most of them are offering a Work at Home opportunity stuffing envelopes. Who do you think is going to make out on this deal.

Usually something that requires you to pay up front for a job is a scam. I wouldn't trust it.

Sounds like a scam:\n"Mailing $1.00 per Envelope"\n\nWho in the right mind would give somebody a dollar to mail an envelope?!\n\nAnyways, I always keep this in mind.  If you have to "pay" a membership fee to find a way to make money... then its a scam

I got sucked into a scam like this over 10 years ago when houses didnt have multiple computers, the only internet was slow dial-up and windows was 95!  I paid about $29 for information on how to work from home doing typing for envelope addresses and the ad claimed there was no envelope stuffing involved - just address labels.  Since I can type faster than most people talk, I signed up.\n\nWhat I got was a list of companies that have huge mailing lists and a form letter to send them to offer my services from home.  Turns out I had to stuff envelopes after all!\n\nI spent some money on postage, bought the letterhead and tweaked the form letter a bit but didnt get a single response from any one remotely interested in having data entry done for them.\n\nWhen I tried to contact the company I sent money to again, they had changed addresses so I called the Better Business Bureau who told me this was a mail scam to collect money on hopes of having a better life.\n\nThey said that most of these companies send you a few typed pages of how to get other people to send you money for similar typed pages.  It only takes a PO Box and a few dollars to place those ads in shopper papers - they collect and disappear - laughing all the way to the bank.\n\nDONT DO IT!

Some of the companies that advertise this as a paying job are exploiters or scammers. Becareful if they ask for money upfront to send you the package info to get this type of work. Some are just low paying in that it's per envelop and it works out to less than minimum wage.

yes it a scam.  You have to buy things to get them. Therefore it is not for free.

If someone wants you to pay them to get work it is a scam. Real employers pay you! Keep searching.

it seems like it is to me... one time i was told to take this survey, and they would give me money. but they wanted to wire the money in my bank account, so they said they needed my bank account #. so you really need to watch out. If they're asking for stuff like that, then yeah, i'd say its a scam. i never heard of anyone making a living by filling out surveys.

It's probably a postal mail scam and/or a poorly executed marketing campaign.\n\nIf it has an address or telephone number, you could probably type it into a Google search box and see what comes up.\n\nYou can also search the Better Business Bureau website for consumer complaints against the company, if someone has reported it.

If the message was "junk mail" and unsolicited, it is very unlikely to be a real job offer.\n\nDo a thorough search of the company on the internet before you reply.  \n\nIf there is such a company, you can apply through their web site rather than replying to the junk mail.
