I received an offer in the mail today (6-20-02) for stuffing and mailing envelopes. You select the income level you would like to start at and send the appropriate fee for that level. The company says they will send you "$10.00 for each letter stuffed and returned to us as per our instructions".
In another section of the ad it says that "All postage cost is reimbursable, for the postage we receive. THAT MEANS IT'S FREE!"
Suspecting that this is just another scam, I went to the consumer complaints site and started searching. I found a match with a company calling itself Big Castle. The person that got scammed on that one described the up front fees EXACTLY as they appear in the letter I received, just using a different name - Stonecastle. Don't wait until you send your money, check it out first. I'm out of work, but I am still careful with my money.in fact, since I have been out of work I have received more money making schemes in the mail than I ever have before. Don't be fooled, scam artists are very clever.
