Are you referring to the companies who pay you to do this from home?

Envelope addressing is a scam - see below.
"Work from home jobs" are almost non-existent. Adverts for envelope stuffing, data entry work, and home-based telesales etc. are 99% scams.
The only way you can make money working from home is by working for yourself. You might like to check out the following idea.
You can make money three different ways, selling reports on the Internet...
The first way is to obtain a report with resale rights. This means you can sell it over and over again. Check out:

The second way is to write about what you already know, for example if you are a stay-at-home mom, then maybe you could write a report about some aspect of child care, or how you coped with breast feeding. Or if you have quit smoking, then write about the strategies you used to give it up. If you are a dog or cat lover, you could write a report on pet care.
The third way is to find out what people want to know about, for example what questions do people ask on your favorite forums?
Do some research (this is very simple using the Internet) to find answers to the questions people ask, and solutions to their problems.
Then compile your findings into a report.
Creating a report might sound difficult, but if you can use a computer, then you can produce a report. You can download free word processing software here:

This software enables you to produce a report in industry standard Portable Document Format (PDF).
A typical report need only be about 30 pages long.

Basically, you only get paid if the person you send whatever you are stuffing into the envelope buys what it is selling. It is a free way for the company to have you advertise for them as you pay for the postage. I tried it back before I found the company I have a great career with. If you are looking to work from home, I work with a great company. They offer 401k, benefits and full training and support. I would be happy to share details with you.

Of course not,
Any company wanting to address letters would have a million of them run through a computerized machine and put addresses on.
The outfit you are thinking of dealing with just wants to separate you, from YOUR money

The truth is most of them are scam and ask you to pay initial money. never pay money to any such site.
