I have currently just signed up for an envelope stuffing program on the Internet and feel I've been scammed. The companies advertisement claims $1.00 per envelope processed plus $15.00 per order you generate by your mailings. In order to sign up in there program they require a one time membership fee of $59.95 for your "Home Mailers Starter Kit" It said on the advertisement this fee will cover for my unlimited amount of envelopes/postage and access to there members area. Once I received my "Home Mailers Kit" I felt that this program was not for me! My kit contained big priority mail envelopes from the post office, mailing labels and my instructions. I learned I would have to advertise and place ads in free classified sites on the Internet and have people send me SASE's (self addressed stamped envelopes) Once I get the SASE's I'll have to stuff them in the big priority mail envelopes and mail them to the company and I'll earn $1.00 per envelope plus $15.00 per order I make. This is not what I expected! I contacted the company and requested for a full refund, but they told me that I would have to stuff my first 100 envelopes before they return my deposit. They said that it states on there web site refunds are given only according to there special guarantee and I agreed to these terms when signing up in there program. PLEASE HELP I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS LEGAL!! I visited there web site again and realized that advertising was involved in their program. It said on their site "This work mainly consists of securing envelopes through advertising and simple envelope stuffing." I did receive everything promised on there site and I did receive access to there members area where they train you. The only thing I didn't notice was the advertising part!! I would be really grateful if anyone can e-mail me and let me know if this is a legitimate business!

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Okay, well the problem is it is legal but unfair. You see, they told you on their website what it takes. That makes all the difference between being misled and not reading what you get into.

Hope this helps.
