Hello,

I would like some help in getting my money back and this company exterminated. After calling a work at home stuffing envelopes number in my local paper, The Calhoun Times, Calhoun, Georgia; I left a recorded message with someone at 212-615-6424. On September 26, 2002 I mailed a money order for $25.00 to United Homeworkers, Saginaw, Alabama. They got my name, address and telephone number and sent papers to fill out. Quoted in this application per Robert Hancock is this "I realize there are some real rip-offs out there, but rest assured that this is not one of them. The say they have been in business close to 30 years.

I only wanted to earn some money at home while I was not working on a regular job. I still don't have any envelopes nor my money back. What is the deall? I will send a letter to Consumer Affairs at the CBS new station. I want some results. Can you please help me? I sure hope so. I sent them a letter on October 26, 2002 and have not heard a word. I have copies of the paperwork I filled out and will be happy to share. Thank you for any help you can give in solving this mess. I am sure they have ripped others off also.

Sincerely,

Rita
Calhoun, Georgia
U.S.A.

Thank you all for your reports!

I, too, saw the advertisement in a local newspaper and decided to give them a call. It was a recording and I was told to leave my name and address so they could send more information. When I received the "application", I started questioning their business. I thought it was quite suspious that the return address was a P.O. box, there was no number to call beside 212-615-6424 which they mentioned would cost ABOUT 25 cents and that they were requesting that the deposits be made to Justuff'um c/o Jesse Fujimoto. I held off sending the deposit and decided to check the website for any information and this is what I found. I really appreciate those of you who have sent in your reports. It's important that we get this information out to others and stop this scam.

On my "application", it stated that Roger Doss is president and John Craig is the hiring director. The companies address is:
JUSTUFF'UM c/o Jesse Fujimoto
P.O. Box 77
Kaneohe, HI 96744

Thank again for saving me from this scam.

Thank You to all who took the time to report and saved my $25.00

As I was writing out my check and filling out the paperwork with a letter to the owner I remembered that I had seen this web site when I was checking out the company on the Better Business Bureau. So I tried one more thing to make sure what I was doing was right. Well - checking was right. I will not be mailing my check.

Be aware there is another address and name now - Make $$$ Home Stuffers 4252 Monticello Ave, 2nd Floor, Bronx, New York 10466 For whoever checks on the physical locations and shuts them down this might be one. Thanks to whoever said you might need a license in Calif. to work out of your home. I will check that out before I do any more investigating. We are going to try worm farming - Maybe that will work for some of you - We wish you all the best as you search for work from home.

Pyramid Scheme Cons=Criminals NOT Customers

AUTHOR: Jacqueline - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 17, 2003

I wanted to reply to the original author first. At this point, you can contact the postal inspector at this Birmingham, Alabama, address: United States Inspection Service, Birmingham Domicile, Post Office Box 2767, Birgmingham, AL, 35202-2767. They might re-route you back to your own regional postal inspectors, but the source of the alleged crime is in their State.

It would be good to contact them just for the record. The 212-615-6424 phone number is just an answering service hired by one of the "Higher- ups", which MIGHT be the alleged John Craig, Robert Hanncock/Carter or Louise Bond/Ellen.

This number is based out of Manhatten. You need to specifically communicate with the post master at your local office, and you can also access www.usps.com, to find information. This is an illegal pyramid-nationwide. Some States even require a liscence from individuals, whom choose to work at home. Your State will penalize you, without hesitation. The State of Georgia requires that you have a liscense, so it's a good thing you decided not to get involved. The State of Georgia has one of the finest track records, I've found, in shutting down branches of this pyramid, in their "neck-of-the-woods", too bad the rest cannot follow suit.

To review the hundreds of reports filed here access: Home based businesses, you can also use these keywords: John Craig, Robert Hancock, Home Stuffers or even Stuff With Care. There are complaints from nearly every State of the Union on this Rip-off alone. Out of San Antonio, Texas, they've climbed on to the web at the site: www.stuffwithcare.com. The www.bbb.org online has an outdated 140 complaints filed against this pyramid, and all of its aliases, which are to many to mention.

Keep a record of everything, that you have recieved and possibly copies of anything sent out.

The majority of the addresses connected to this pyramid are all mail drops/post office boxes. There have been some physical addresses, and they tend to be the ones that get shut down.

Now for the person who gave the last rebuttal, before me, who was from Dallas, Texas, I wanted to respond.

People who apply for jobs whether it is envelope stuffing or any other work-at-home business are NOT looking for an easy way out. The economy is bad, people want jobs. Knocking the character of people who want to work at home is counter-productive. Myself, I have serious medical conditions. My health does not permit for me to apply for conventional 9 to 5 work. There have been a number of valid reasons posted at www.ripoffreport.com for why people want to work at home, none will state, they want an easy way out.

People have the right to be angry, when a hard earned investment has been taken away from them. You're smug in admitting you were ripped off, and justify being better, because it would just be "extra money" for you. Maybe that would be "easy money", and your reply says more about YOU, than it does anyone else.

I am also asking anyone researching to disregard the previous rebuttal. Don't let this individual discourage you, in the process of researching and trying to solve problems, in your own situations.

I just had to respond, because people should not be discouraged or ashamed of filing a report here. If they read comments like the Thomas, Dallas, Texas one, valuable information might not be shared.

Even if you don't collect a refund, you need to contact the authorities to separate yourself from any association of illegal activity. This is NOT one to procrastinate on.

Your post master can also fill you in on more detailed State and Local regulations.

Hope this helps.

Truth Be Told ..These companies will exist as long as people are willing to take the time and respond to them.

AUTHOR: Thomas - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, June 16, 2003

The bulk of the people that respond to these ads either have not had a real job for a while or are wanting to take the easy road to success. I decided to go through the entire process with this company, whatever it may be called, and I do not care if I lose any money on it. I have a real job and this was going to be something extra for fun. I sent the letter I got back along with a money-order just like many of you. The difference may be that I sent it certified with delivery conformation requested. That was 6 months ago....no response yet. The money oreder was traced and guess what...not cashed or deposited. If you will notice on the San Antonio address listed, it looks more like an apartment complex that a business address. If you live there or have friends there, have them go by and check it out. If you want to stop these people take an active role, don't just sit back and complain. There are actually a few companies out there that are real and most of them are small and gone within a few short months. My tip to you, always take the chance but if you feel that you will become angry over losing $10, $20, $30, or more, then go find a real job. Those who take the risk also deal with the fall, or with the immense success. Those who do not are called customers. Take the risk only if you can afford to and make sure that you can trace the company back to where it started. I made the same mistakes as you have made but that was years ago, and about $1750 ago as well. Once in a while you may find one that works if even for a short time. Thank You and Good Luck

Stuff this!

AUTHOR: Melany - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, May 05, 2003

I had my envelope with $25 right next to the computer when I decided to check online to see if I could find any more information on this "company". I was directed to this website and as soon as I read the first response, I ripped open the envelope and took my money out. I also responded to an ad in Houston's "Thrify Nickel". I really didn't think much of the legitamcy of the ad because there were at least ten other ads that had the same concept.

I also left a message and waited for my application to come in. I received three poorly photocopied sheets which did have the name "John Hancock" on one sheet.

The address that I was instructed to send my money to was: Stuff With Care, 8039 Callaghan Rd., PMB #519, San Antonio, Tx. 78230-4718. I just want to thank everyone for writing in to let others know that this is a crock of s**t. Otherwise, I would have lost my money just like so many others.

I'm sorry for those who were scammed, but again, thanks for writing in to let others know about this. And with so many of these reports, you'd think that something would be done about it by now. I mean, it's illegal. It's fraud--so why hasn't there been something done?

It was sent from a company called 'Stuff With Care' out of Texas with the same information from John Craig and Robert Hancock. I just wanted to say 'thanks' for the website and the information. I almost fell victim to this scam myself. Please note the new address listed below:
