For those of you who are interested. Most of the Money-By-Stuffing
envelopes scams are remarkably similar and silly. Usually you see an
ad for making money at home stuffing envelopes which asks you to send
$XX.XX for the "kit" to get you started.
This "kit" is simply instructions to place the same ad in other
newspapers using your own address and then stuff the same "kit" in
envelopes to the suckers unwise enough to send you the dough.
Nice and circular, huh?
