Ok. So I am sure I am not the only one who has read a newspaper ad, a classified ad,"Stuff Envelopes From Home" etc..and wondered, "hhhmmmmm should I do it?" "Is it for real?? Or is it a too good to be true?" Well, I will admit, I am one who has read the ads, re-read the ads, and even thought about answering the ad. I mean REALLY thought about filling out the information and paying the $49 to start "stuffing envelopes" to make REAL money! I felt it my responsibility to share with you what I have learned after some researching these so called "Envelope Stuffing" jobs/companies. First of all, when you receive your package, you have to run newspaper ads marketing whatever it is the "company" wants you to market. At your expense! Secondly, the people who may or may not reply to your ad, sends you what ever information is required of them, to you, along with $4. Third, you then keep $2 - send the "person's" info you received along with the other $2 back to the "envelope stuffing" company. WHEW! I suppose that is what they call "stuffing envelopes". You "stuff the $2 into the envelope along with the piece of information and send it off to the "so called company" Who in the heck wants to do all that?? Really. I am open for feedback here. Actually, I would like to hear from anyone who has stuffed envelopes from home, AFTER replying to one of the ads, and you actually have been making money. I like to give all things the benefit of the doubt. In the mean time, as I was on a qwest to find companies that pay people to work from their home...you know...outsourcing, they do that in the US you know! I was led to www.sohojobs.org. You may hear me speak of this website forum, and speak very highly. Why? Because they have companies who post their job openings on their site. The companies that post on their, actually are looking to hire people to work out of their home,like outsourcing. Smart, uh?? You bet it is! Especially for those of us you see the value in working from home and see the value in earning a real paycheck! Also, when you visit this diamond in the rough ( you know how rough the internet can be :o) Be sure to visit the Scam Post on sohojobs.org That way you can always remain up to date on the scams that are out in the internet & outside world. With that said ~ As always, do your homework, your own research and Be Wise in your decision making! Best to you ~ Teri K

Depends on which online jobs you are interested and how much you want to earn. Be ware, 99% websites which claim you can earn $4000/month or $1000 weeks are scam..That means they will ask you to pay membership fees before joining it....If you see them, Stay away! So that your money can be saved. Mylot is one of the best websites as it's free, guaranteed but earn less money. As least it's not scam because we don't lost money. I suppose you to join website which doesn't need any fee before works. THis is my suggestion...

I have never seen or heard of a legit envelope-stuffing or assembling at home program. The 2 scam avoiding rules I go by are: 1. never sign up if they charge you a fee, when You are supposed to be the one making money, and 2. Never sign up if the pay rates are too good to be true. :]
