Envelope stuffing for cash has been around for quite some years now. But recently, it's making a comeback. The thing on many peoples mind is, are they a real legitimate offer, or is it a scam? So what exactly is this envelope stuffing for cash. Well, let's look at it as a whole to better comprehend what it is.

This is what they'll claim you'll have to do. First, you have to pay them a small fee to join them. As soon as you pay them that fee, you're entered into their database, and you become an "agent" for them. After that, they'll either send you an e-mail or send you a real letter. What you have to do is either print out the e-mail version, or photocopy the letter version.

Next you're required to send letters containing the copy of the information you obtained, to as many real addresses as you possibly can. For each letter that you send, they'll pay you a small commission. In some cases, they'll even provide you with the addresses of real people for you to send to.

Although there are a few different types of variations to the envelope stuffing for cash, the basis of it's the same. you'll have to pay them a small fee to join and then they'll send you some information for you to send to other people. It sounds simple enough. But is it real and legit?

Sorry to tell you, this isn't legit. Yes, it's a scam. So why is it a scam? Let's take a look at a few things here. The first thing we should look at is, what they're asking you to do. Now sending an envelope to someone isn't against the law. So is sending promotional envelopes. But what if the content isn't legit, for example the contents if the letters are spam or misleading information? Automatically, it becomes illegal. You might end up on the wrong side of the law for this.

The second thing is, how do they trace the number of envelopes you sent? If you do send out one hundred envelopes a day, how are you going to prove it? Take pictures? I don't think so. There is no receipt for sending normal mail, unless you're using an expensive service. But that would mean that the commission you earn is much less that the amount you're paying for each envelope sent.

I have noticed a few of them that uses a different type of strategy. you'll only earn a commission based on the number of people who contacted them back, from the letters that you sent. It makes sense in terms of tracking the amount of commission you're going to earn. But automatically, it doesn't even make it seem like a good source of income anymore. if you were to send one hundred envelopes a day, but only five of them replied, would that make for a good income source? Would it even cover the cost of sending all those envelopes?

Please, never join them. I would like to repeat that, envelope stuffing for cash is illegal. So unless you're prepared to get in trouble with the law, please don't attempt this scam.
