I fell for this when I was like 13. They screwed me over good, but I was dumb. I was their typical target.
They promoted that you would be paid for sending out X number of envelopes. There was a $50 setup fee, which I gladly parted with.
A few weeks later I received in the mail about 30 envelopes, flyers, and printed labels (I had to pay postage). I searched through the package for my check, which surprisingly was not there.
I didn't send any of them out. The whole thing seemed stupid. I now know what they were doing.
The flyers I were to send out simply promoted what I was doing.... Try and sell the concept to other people, sell them a dream, and then I'd get paid if they joined up using a flyer with my referral number one it (shave rate was likely 75%). This company wasn't actually selling anything at all.
At the time my mom called the BBB, and the lady said their file had a large number of complaints.
