What Do You Think?
I get these ads through email all the time. Usually I just ignore tham but as I'm getting poorer by the second I thought I'd take a look. Do you think this is just a gimmick to get the fees and maybe some free postage, or could it be legit? David No Newspaper Ads… No Magazine Ads…No Bulletin Board Ads ... No Handing Out ... Congratulations Friend, We have selected you to be one of our new catalog circular mailers. You can earn from $550.00 to $3,000.00 and your paycheck is mailed to you promptly every Wednesday. If you accept our offer today and follow our instructions your first paycheck will be in your hands in approximately ten days time, following our instructions! Our printing and publishing company is in the process of hiring home workers. We desperately need home workers each week to stuff and mail out our special advertising circulars. We have so much on hand that we are paying home workers $10.00 for EACH letter stuffed and returned to us as per our instructions. There is no limit to the number of letters that you can stuff and mail for our company. If we receive 55 letters stuffed and mailed out by you will be paid $550.00 75 letters……$750.00 95 letters……$950.00 300 letters…..$3,000.00 And so on... The More Letters you Stuff and Mail the MORE MONEY You Can Make! QUALIFICATIONS * You must be able to read and write simple English. * Have the ability to fold loose page circulars. * Stuff and seal circulars in an envelope. * Apply postage and mail them with the address labels we provide to you. If you pay attention to circulars that you receive from other companies you will notice how all of them are very vague about what your package will contain in addition they don’t tell you if they are the ones that are going to send you the envelopes and circulars to stuff. They say all envelopes will come to you already stamped and addressed. That simply means that YOU will have to advertise to get people to send you self-addressed stamped envelopes. WE ARE DIFFERENT We send you the envelopes, address labels and letters to be stuffed…. We pay you for the work you do as per our instructions. Your only job is to place our special advertising circulars into envelopes and then mail them out. For this you will receive payment of $10.00 per envelope from US! Your initial postage cost is reimbursable. That means it’s free! So keep this in mind when you select an income group. No advertising in newspapers, magazines or bulletin boards. We do not deduct taxes from your paycheck, so you’ll get the full amount. We will send a form 1099 at the end of the year when you’re ready to file your taxes. You will not be stuffing or mailing anything that is pornographic or illegal. All literature that we’ll send you meets the requirements of the regulatory agencies, so you have nothing to worry about. For your convenience, we have established 5 different groups. You can choose the group that you want to work under. Each group carries different earnings potential and a different number of starting supplies. The Earning Potential of Group #1 is $550.00 Weekly Group #2 is $750.00 Weekly Group #3 is $950.00 Weekly Group #4 is $3000.00 Weekly! … This is the Most Popular Group. Group #5 is for established mailers who start in Group #4 and get promoted after receiving their first $3000.00 in pay. Once you’re in Group #5 you have the potential to earn $5000.00 but you must start in Group #4 if you want to be promoted to Group #5. We will leave it up to you to choose your own starting group. For example, if you start in Group #3, we will send you a large priority package containing 95 envelopes, letters and customer mailing labels along with our easy to follow instructions. If you choose Group #4, we send you 300 envelopes, letters and customer mailing labels. When you are promoted to Group #5, we will send you a large package containing 500 of each item to be stuffed and mailed for payment. WHY DO WE PAY SUCH A HIGH RATE AS $10.00 PER LETTER STUFFED AND RECEIVED ? First, the number of people who respond to our special letters, once they are mailed out, is very high. Second, they like what we offer and are willing to pay for the opportunities that we offer. These two facts allow us to easily afford to pay $10.00 per letter stuffed and mailed. Also, we want you to be happy with your new income level so you’ll continue to work for us which will allow us to continue making money. We need home workers for a year round opportunity. Once you sign up with us, you can stuff and mail for us as long as you want. Take a vacation or just stop and start again whenever you want. Just let us know when you are going to take time off. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU ? Your job is to fold our special advertising circulars that we send you, insert them in the envelopes we send you, apply one customer label and stick one postage stamp. When you complete the batch of circulars just m

Re: What Do You Think?
Yes alas I'm sure you're right, and others have written to me to suggest the very same thing. Indeed, it seemed too good to be true to me as well, which is why I solicited learned opinions rather than desperately grasping at it. Incidentally, does anyone know the origin of "if something sounds too good to be true - it probably is?" While I'm sure that at many points one wise man or another has said it, I wonder who said it first--and whether it might not have been a wise woman. :) Thanks Jacob.
