Avoid Scams-Use Your "Noggin"
Use your head. What company would pay an individual $1 or more per envelope stuffed?
Business owners would much rather purchase a letter folding and envelope sealing machine for a few hundred dollars than to pay you thousands per month for
same task!
Beware of these ads promising unrealistic salaries, amazing profits, without disclosing background information. Like how you will actually be paid. Weekly, monthly, quarterly. Are you considered an Independent Contractor or Company Employee. All very important things to consider.
Be wary of companies that request a fee up front before they will send you information on
opportunity. Most legitimate companies will not request a fee up front.
The Real Deal. The only true way to make money stuffing envelopes is to start your own Direct Mailing Service. Where you are
BOSS and are operating a legitimate business serving other small/home business owners. More on that in a future article.
If you've been scammed contact
following places.
The Federal Trade Commission. www.ftc.gov
Your local Consumer Protection Agency.
Your local Better Business Bureau.
