I saw an ad in some newspaper for stuffing envelopes at home so I called the number to check it out. A message said that I would have to pay a $25 deposit that would be returned to me triple ($75) on ym first paycheck. Also I would get an additional up front $225 cash sign up bonus. I thought I had nothing to lose.
I get a letter from LaTeashia Sherman Home Stuffers PO Box 1756 Hiram GA 30141 with intructions on what to do. I find out I have to send $5 to Training and Aftercare Center PO box 312 Akron AL 35441. The letter said if no response in 14 days to contact them. I remember sending a second letter requesting my materials.
I called the "Home Employment Hotline" 1-212-615-# and it always just rang busy no matter when I tried. I eventually got my training packet which then only requested me to get a PO Box and send them lots of personal information including my bank account. I think that was the big red flag for me!
Yeah I'll admit I was a desperate college student trying to earn money for rent bills and school and I knew this sounded too good to be true and I've even dealt with scams before. But when you really need money its almost like you are addicted to keep trying to find something that works. It is hard to get those letters in the mail of people who did something simple and became rich.
Anyhow, when I mailed the info to Training and Aftercare Center it got returned to me with the yellow stickers. The first sticker was to notify me of a new address. Training and Aftercare Center PO Box # Mesquite TX 75187-0426
The second yellow sticker said: return to sender due to addressees violation of postal false representation law tx 76161. I didn't understand what that meant so I asked the lady at the post office desk and she told me it was not something I did but the company like they had broken the law or something. I started to wonder what was going on.
I had sent another envelope to the Training and Aftercare Center at the Akron AL address because they wanted a self addressed stamped envelope to send me more materials. That also got sent back to me covered with yellow stickers. The first one was another new address sticker. Training and Aftercare # S Douglas Blvd Midwest City OK 73130-6200. And the second sticker was again the return to sender due to addressees violation of postal false representation law.
I would like my money back $30 plus more for the PO Box I rented and the stamps I used to send them my application and information. I want to be contacted if a lawsuit occurs for these people. I have copies of all the papers involved with this. I actually was using this site to post something about another company that I had been scammed by when I thought to look up this home mailing thing that never amounted to anything. I was surprised to find other people who had gone through the same situation as me. I really hope these people are caught and we all get our money back.
