Don't even answer the ad. Those ads have been running for 80 years, possible even since newspapers have been published. They aren't going to pay you for anything, but are going to try to sell you something. None are legitimate income opportunities.

Wow, I turned to this question because I have never heard of these "money bags" and I was curious. What a tacky, rude, truly awful idea! Inviting people to a celebration, and then trying to shake them down for cash is unspeakably vile! If what you are is hosting a fundraiser, rather a reception, then word your invitations accordingly. \n\nWhew! And now that I have that off my chest, a short word of advice. Do not allow florists, dressmakers, caterers, printers, magazines, and other purveyors of bridal merchandise to tell you what is "correct" -- these people are interested in selling you goods, not in helping you.\n\nTurn to Miss Manners. Her real name is Judith Martin. Her books are in public libraries and book stores. She will save you HUNDREDS of dollars.

That is like the biggest gimmick ever!  The way they make money is by getting YOU to send them money to get started in their little company so to speak!  Dont do it!  Get a job you can see and touch!  Screw the mail thing!

Most of them are scams.  You have to make the copies, find the addresses to send them to and pay for the stamps.  It is not worth it.  If you want something that is kinda like a stay at home thing, try secret shoppers.

They are great. If they are for something I like or need, I appreciate them, if they are for something I dislike or don't need, I can just throw them away. It is a pretty simple concept. Either way I have nothing to loose.\n\nIf you are planning on doing a mailing, try to focus your list to the people who would most likely like or need your product or service.\n\nGood luck, joetheadguy@aol.com

Do you mean those advertised home-based jobs? I think they are pretty much a scam. Usually you have to buy stuff from them before you sell it, and you'll end up stuck if it doesn't sell.

OH MY GOSH YES SIR I DO!!  Depending on the mood I am in I either play along, so far as to sound eager and very willing!! or, I will suggest that they use the money to educate the people that work for them!! Most of the emails I have received, the spelling has been horrendous, or not that I can really talk, their grammar and punctuation is lacking!!  Then their are the days where I just check the box, and hit the spam button!!  What I wonder is, do they just mail them out to all of us?, or do they "hmmmm, this persons name is Sue Smith, I bet she would love to be involved in an illegal scam!! Let's give her a shout!"  Have a great day all!

Sending an unsealed envelope to anyone these days is foolish: the contents can fall out.  I remember we used to get a cheaper postage rate for greeting cards if the envelope was not sealed, but that was a very long time ago indeed.  Do other countries still do that?

Almost none of them are legitimate.  A few years back, I wanted to work at home for those assembling products or stuffing envelopes.  Well, I called the Better Business Bureau first to see what they think about it.\n\nThey told me that nearly all of them are bogus and phony.  Think about it, almost all of them require some kind of money up front to "get started."  Do you think you should have to actually pay somebody to give you a job?  I never have.\n\nAnd with those that have you assemble products at home, BBB told me that when you assemble them and send them in to get paid, they will pick them apart and tell you that there were "flaws" and that you didn't assemble them right and then you won't get paid anyway.\n\nSounds like a scam to me.  The only way to really be safe is to go to the company in person, and if they are very close to where you live.  Other than that, don't just walk away--RUN!!!

I got sucked into a scam like this over 10 years ago when houses didnt have multiple computers, the only internet was slow dial-up and windows was 95!  I paid about $29 for information on how to work from home doing typing for envelope addresses and the ad claimed there was no envelope stuffing involved - just address labels.  Since I can type faster than most people talk, I signed up.\n\nWhat I got was a list of companies that have huge mailing lists and a form letter to send them to offer my services from home.  Turns out I had to stuff envelopes after all!\n\nI spent some money on postage, bought the letterhead and tweaked the form letter a bit but didnt get a single response from any one remotely interested in having data entry done for them.\n\nWhen I tried to contact the company I sent money to again, they had changed addresses so I called the Better Business Bureau who told me this was a mail scam to collect money on hopes of having a better life.\n\nThey said that most of these companies send you a few typed pages of how to get other people to send you money for similar typed pages.  It only takes a PO Box and a few dollars to place those ads in shopper papers - they collect and disappear - laughing all the way to the bank.\n\nDONT DO IT!

Yes, my daughter does them all the time and supposedly she is making money every time she does it. I have a bunch I get in the mail and get things for doing it so I don't do it on line. What about you?? Thanks for asking!!

I wouldn't rely on the answers of Yahoo ppl b/c something important may be in that envelope!  To ensure its safety, go directly to the post office.  If you end up putting too little stamps your mail won't get the the Phil.  Good luck
