I located an advertisement for "Home Envelope Stuffers" posted in the Tuesday, June 11 edition of the "Boca Raton Times" newspaper (which comes insterted into the Sun Sentinel, another larger South Florida newspaper) under the employment Section 380.
The ad read as follows:
$1,380 weekly - Guaranteed. Stuff envelopes at home. FT or PT. $690 bonus for $2,070 total weekly paycheck. No skills, education, experience. All qualify. Legitimate, honest home employment. $100 cash hiring bonus. Guaranteed in writing. 1-877-792-7167.
On Wednesday, June 12, at 6pm, I called the number posted in the ad and left my name, address, and phone number as instructed. At 6:50pm, less than an hour later, I got a return call stating that information would be mailed to me shortly.
Here is the call-back number that was on my caller id from the 6:50pm return call:
(561) 272-0714
After doing a search on www.google.com for "561-272-0714" here is the name and address that shows up on the search:
Maurice and Andrea Senechal
2001 SW 12th Court
Delray Beach, FL 33445
I am not sure if Maurice and Andrea Senechal are the ones who run this fictitious company, but I would suggest thhe following:
Everyone who has been scammed by this company should call the senechals at (561) 272-0714 and complain.
On June 16th, I got the information I requested in the mail. This company claims to pay you $2.80 per envelope stuffed but they want you to send them $25 first to:
Mail Order Fulfillment Center
Attention: PATRICIA JOHNSON
203 Cologne Street
Interlachen, FL 32148
Make Money Order payable to Patricia Johnson
I obviously did not send any money, and kudos to whoever invented caller ID. Perhaps by learning that Maurice and Andrea Senechal of Delray Beach, FL are involved in this scam, we are one step closer to STOPPING THE MAIL ORDER STUFFING FRAUDS FOREVER!
Frankly, I'm surprised that the Senechal's didn't think twice before calling me from their home number. They should know that almost everyone these days has caller ID.
