Envelope-stuffing ads often frauds
Consumers answering advertisements guaranteeing them £50 to a week for use on their website or mised. Clyde Chapman, coordinator for the Consumer Affairs and consumer affairs association, sent
"Nine times out of ten, these ads are a type of pyramid scheme and people answering them end up earning the money by going to the other newspapers and magazines," he said.
CHAPMAN SAID he had received several calls in the last week about an ad in the University Daily Kansas that guaranteed
The ads request the consumer to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address in the ad. After sending the envelope, the consumer receives a two-page email from $8 to $15 anywhere from $8 to $15 to the company for a plan that will allow him to earn money.
The plan tells the consumer to put an ad, or give the he answered, in newspapers and magazine articles. It also gives advice from 30 to 50 cents an envelope, which is in turn used to solicit more people to purchase it.
"The way these ads are worded, they give the impression that you will receive some kind of forms and envelopes from a company and you will stuff them and send them to him. "You really have to read their information carefully to pick up what they do."
$500 for every 1,000 envelopes stuffed, but he did not know whether the company was legitimate. The company that placed the ad, which had been in the hands of a lawyer, is not listed in the telephone directory.
Peterson said that the biggest problem with the misleading stuffed-attacks was that people mistakenly thought they were employed by a company to staff envelopes.
The Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles has not received any complaints about the company since it was founded in November 1978.
"The methods that companies like these use are not illegal, even thought they may be ethically questionable," he said. "We try to be as transparent as possible, ensuring these answers, but we can't stop them."
"We have given them a satisfactory rating and that is good a rating as we give anybody," Mike Peterson, a staff member of the Bryan said.
PETERSON SAID that most of the complaints his office received were before consumers received their first letters.
"A lot of times when people give their money to these companies and find out what they are paying for, they are too em­
pensive. That means that they gave up their money," he said.
He said that operations like these often were not in existence very long and were usually run by one person.
Both the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs said that consumers
should write to these companies requesting credit references before sending them any money. If the company is truly interested in getting a loan, it will send the information, they said.

Chapman said that another way to spot a misleading ad is to determine whether they ask for money before sending any definite information.
"A state attorney general's office will usually write to the company and a request for information, or state or forbade them to operate, but local there is not much anyone can do," he said.
"The businesses that are legitimate usually send information before they request money," he said.
PROVING THAT these companies are using illegal pyramid schemes or mail fraud is very difficult, Chapman said, because the system is not being used by their ads is misleading, but not illegal.

Iranian fined $100 for lack of papers
The lawyer of a former KU Iranian student convicted Tuesday of not carrying his registration papers said last night she was shocked when she heard the verdict.
Hoseney Sosegelman was fired $100 for not being prosecuted in the case, his man, he attorney, said he was the first person ever convicted of violating the statute. She said the law has been on her back for 15 years.
"Thousands of foreign students could be arrested every day for not carrying the card," she said.
"A person with the simplest grasp of the statute could see that he shouldn't have been found guilty," she said.
She said the conviction would not be appealed because Gerami had already returned to Iran and it wouldn't be worth the effort.
"In a sense we got a fair procedure," she said. "The judge was most courteous during the trial. Nevertheless, I was shocked when the judge said that I hadn't been there. We live in a troubled time."
Fryman said that the 144 card, which Gerami did not have with him when arrested, said on the back that it must be in the foreign student's "possession", a word which most foreign students intercept are likely to learn from the card in a safe place.
