Review: Good Partners Mailing and Typing

This is a classic example of an envelope stuffing scheme. They advertise it as if it’s a home-working job (not a business opportunity)… but you’re expected to send £30 off to them.

Not the usual process for a job application , right? They say they’ll pay you £1.10 per envelope. They’ll deliver you materials and equipment worth £800, (according to their sales spiel anyway). They’ll also refund your £30 after you’ve completed your first job.

So what really happens?

Well, as you know, I dislike and distrust all envelope stuffing schemes. But for this investigation I cast aside my prejudices and scoured the message boards and forums for any good experiences. What I found wasn’t exactly positive…

One person who came across the website decided to phone the company and ask if they were the real deal.

A clever and sensible move… and any proper, decent company would be glad to answer questions from prospective clients. Unfortunately…

“The person was rude and abrupt, did not listen to what I was saying and said that if I completed the application on line I would hear from them next week.”

Okay, but maybe that was a one-off. Even the best customer service staff can have a bad day but – whoa there! – perhaps not…

Another complainer says:

“I was rudely spoken to by a male voice. I have checked the business with 192.com and the yellow pages and they do not seem to be in either of them. I asked for company’s registration number and I was hung up on!”

Yoiks!

Then finally here’s another testimony from someone who sent off their £30…

“They sent me a letter with membership card and assured me that they will find a job for me at the earliest opportunity but it is already 4 months… I tried to contact with them many times but they are not responding. Whenever they pick up the phone the person on the phone uses abusive language and is not helpful.”

Yes my friend, let me introduce the World’s Grumpiest Fraudster!

In the good old days, conmen used to use charm and wit to wangle money out of people. These days they act as if they’re OWED a living. Honestly, what has the world come to?

Avoid.
