My husband has been looking for work for the last 5 months, he found this add in the paper for envelope stuffing, I was just wondering what the catch is? Anyone ever tried it? Any luck?

Its a very common scam
One of 2 things will happen after you pay the money that you will be asked for.
1) You will sent a piece of paper saying how you can make $$$'s by placing the same advert that you answered and then charging people to send the same piece of paper you are reading.
2) You will stuff hundreds of envelopes and either not recieve any other contact with the company or they will say your work was sub standard so they are not paying you.
Look for a better deal.
P.S. don't fall for the crate scams either.

I don't know about all of the companies, but I tried one before. They send you a packet with sales materials and address lists. You have to buy the postage and send them out, so essentially you are paying to advertise for them. You don't get paid unless someone replies and buys what they are selling. There may be others that are more legit. I tried alot of scams before I found a legit way to make money from home. I finally found a great career. The company has 401k, benefits and offers training and support. I would be happy to tell you about it if you would like.

Yes, it wore me out only after I had to pay money to get them. I enrolled with another company after trying several companies like the envelope one and I lost a lot of time and money. to build an international business I simply refer others to the company. See my profile since yahoo doesn't like for us to relay links. Good Luck!
