Newspaper advertisemnt stated: Help Wanted!!! Make $1000 a week prcessing our mail! Free supplies! Helping Home Workers since 2001! Genuine Opportunity! No experience required. Start immediately! Website explained how it was less expensive for them to hire employees. This would cut down on office space, labor expence, and give people an opportunity to make money from home. They stated that brochuers would be sent along with prepaid envelopes. One could stuff brochuers in envelopes and do this at any time and how much you wanted to work. The cost of $25.00 would cover their loss of supplies sent to a person who was not serious about stuffing envelopes. I received my package, and in this package was 8 copied advertisements for a work at home guide with an order form at the bottom and no prepaid envelopes. I received a paper explaining the home program stating "Huge Profiting" world of mail order. Members are never required to purchase any postage, stamps, or envelopes! We have found from ordinary people from all walks of life, with no special skills, who report earnings of up to $400 per day, working as "Independent Contractors".

They didn't mention when advertising this stuffing envelopes from home that, one had to spend time writing out the advertisement, spend money on paper or, spending gas to go around putting the ad on bulletin boards. I took the advertisement as what they said, they would send the brochures, and prepaid envelopes, and all I would have to do is stuff the envelopes with their brochures.
Around the month of May I paid for this very same thing. I sent them an e-mail asking for a refund and that this was misleading, and disappointing. I never heard from them they didn't respond to my e-mail. They have no phone number to call them. Then the third week of September I saw an ad in our town paper: The View, the ad stated again stuffing envelopes from home. I didn't recognize the business name. I feel stupid and should have been more aware of this scam. I thought this would be a way for me to make extra money...
