The Marketing Group
Dishonest, fraudulent and deceptive advertising

I responded to an e-mail add I received from The Marketing Group - they offered a job working at home stuffing envelopes and asked for $43.00 to show that I was serious and promise to return this amount after sending 250 envelopes! I thought it was a way to work at home and make some extra money to pay my bills. (you can find the ad in this address:

Instead of envelopes to stuff as they promise, I received ten copies of an add that I had to place around the city and when people responded to my own ad, then to stuff those envelopes and send them to them! This is not what they promised! Their ad implies that I will work at home, not that I will be looking for customers... Obviously it will be impossible to find 200 people interested in my add just to make $400!

Some of the things they say are

"Right now we have so much work on hand that we are paying HOME WORKERS $2.00 for each envelope stuffed and returned to us according to our instructions. There is no limit to the number of envelopes that you can stuff.
Stuff 100 envelopes, receive $200, stuff 150 envelopes and get paid $300, stuff 400 envelopes and get paid $800. The more envelopes you stuff the more money you'll make. Please don't confuse this offer with any other kind of commission mailing or envelope stuffing offer. You will have no postal or advertising costs, or have to call anyone to sell anything in order to get a weekly paycheck.

Ask other companies if they can guarantee this!

We know that you may be skeptical and feel it is hard to believe that an opportunity like this really exists. We don't blame you because there are alot of companies out there that are promising alot and are delivering very little."

This is a SCAM that is praying in poor people like me. We have to stop this false, fraudulent practice of advertising! I know it is too late to void out my check at my bank, I'm so embarrassed to admit I sent them $44.00 that they will never return, but I would like to make public this compay, so other like me will not be deceive. Thank you, I wish you all well and hope that somebody will stop this kind of business.
