If you come across this business offer you will probably be told that you can make thousands of dollars a month by stuffing envelopes, usually at $2 per piece.

The way the scam goes is: you pay your “processing fee” and send a self-addressed envelope with 2 bucks in it. The envelope comes back full of flyers that you have to put up all over town.

These flyers are actually ads for the same “stuffing envelope” opportunity, asking the participants to send the “processing fee” to the scammers and the self-addressed envelopes to you, along with $2. In those self-addressed envelopes you send them the same flyers so they can put them up, and so on.

Basically, you might make money from people’s response, but you are becoming a scammer yourself.
