Who would pay someone £240 per hour to address and stamp envelopes ?

it was a scam when my family did it, they send you back a letter saying to do same thing they did, put an ad in the paper to get paid for stuffing envelopes:(
Researching on the internet you will see 99% of it is scams.

I know of a few people in similar circumstances, and they tried it all said the same thing SCAM
maybe you’ll get some work , unlikely you get paid
If they ask for money to cover set up fees etc it’s a SCAM

don’t do it, its worse than a rip off, we did this years and years ago, and the pain of it, and the money was just not worth the hassle and the back breaking work.

You won’t get £2 per envelope more like £2 per 1000!! It’s a complete rip off.
