Direct Mail Scam

All envelope stuffing and direct mail opportunities are scams. Of all the millions of people that have been made suckers from this is just maddening. I have NEVER run across a legitimate envelope stuffing opportunity. Direct mail money making opportunities just simply do not exist. Anyone who tells you differently is a complete and absolute liar.

Let's apply a little common sense to the direct mail scam. What company would pay $1 to $10 for every envelope stuffed when there are machines that will stuff them for about 1 cent each? That is why direct mail is a scam. I can have a mailing campaign of 3,000 pieces stamped and addressed for $200 through automation. Why would I pay someone $3,000 to stuff envelopes?

Direct Mail companies I have worked for in the past who would send out millions of pieces a year would never pay even $1 per piece for someone to process their direct mail campaigns. No one could pay that much to stuff envelopes. Direct Mail campaigns that produced a profit of $30,000 would have quickly shrunk to $0. For a 100,000 piece direct mail campaign they would have to spend $100,000 for people to stuff the envelopes then another $150,000 for the postage/sales materials/envelopes costing them a total of $250,000. Meanwhile using automated systems for there direct mail campaigns, that same campaign would cost roughly $152,000. If you where the company that was paying for the direct mail piece which would you prefer to spend $250,000 or $152,000? Plus with automated systems you don't have to worry about any unreliable mail stuffers who never complete their work.

As the Direct Mail company you have a choice of faster, cheaper, and better or more expensive, having to recruit people to stuff mail, hoping your mail stuffers are reliable and human error. Which one would you choose?

Let me explain how the direct mail scam works. You see an ad that states they will pay you $1 for every envelope that you stuff (payment ranges anywhere from $.50 to $5 per stuffed envelope). You pay between $29.95 to $39.95 for a start up kit, training manual, membership fee or whatever the direct mail scam calls it. Your "Start Up Kit" arrives a few days later which is actually a very thin envelope. You open the envelope you received and it outlines how you are to take out ads (just like the one you saw) and get other people to send in $1 for information. When the $1 arrives you mail out the info and receive a commission off of the $29.95 to $39.95  for the "Start Up Kit" that a hopeful prospective "Mail Stuffer" sent in. Sounds like a great idea to make extra money stuffing envelopes until you realized what happened, SCAM!!!!

You (including myself) fell for one of the oldest scams in the book; Envelope Stuffing. There is one major problem with direct mail, it doesn't work . A few years ago you would be able to get a few people to mail you a $1 for information regarding direct mail opportunities. But nowadays people won't spend a single cent for information. The internet is filled with completely free information.

The bottom line is that direct mail is a complete scam.
