Has anyone ever "applied" for the work from home ads in the papers. "1000 envelopes= $10,000. Recive $10 for every envelope you stuffed with our sales material. Guaranteed!" Quoted word for word from my hometown paper. I just want to know if anyone has done this and what the catch is. Does it cost money? I can't see it being for real otherwise wouldn't everyone be doing this????

It is a scam.
First off, there are machines that can stuff envelopes. They can do it faster and neater than people can. Also, they would be cheaper to use than hiring people.
Next up, this scam wants you to send them money so they can send you the "kit" that you need to get the job done. You send them the money and odds are, you will get nothing in return. There are some versions of the scam that are actually pyramid schemes that tell you to get a certain number of people to join you and you make money from each of those.
Your last statement shows some wisdom. You see that it is too good to be true. That put you on red alert. Good job.
