We answered an ad in the newspaper, Seattle Times, get a recorded message and left our name & address. We received the "new homeworker's application" which was on the back of the flyer from Robert Hancock accompanied by a flyer from John Craig with instructions to send $25 (money order only), 2 #10 blank envelopes, and 2 first class postage stamps to Lee Ervin, PO Box 3102, Everett, WA 98203. There was a small self addressed return envelope included, not stamped.
Our first suspicion came when we noticed the #10 envelope these materials came to us in had been folded in three (just the right size to fit in the return envelope). It wasn't hard to figure out that what we were looking at was the exact same thing we would be sending out, if we even got a response once we sent our $25. It was also quite disturbing that on these flyers they claim to have been in business for almost 30 years, yet there is no company name listed. It is only referred to as "the Company". We used "Robert Hancock" to look up these jerks on usacomplaints.com.
There is no "business". This is nothing but a run-of-the-mill chain letter. If no one sends in their $25, this scam ends.
