I signed up for mailprocessorswanted.com. I paid a $160.00 for my letters and waited three months and never received them. I emailed them several times and I kept getting excuses and was told to wait that I would receive my stuff. I finallyemailed them after not receiving anything in mail and told them I was going to report then to the better business bureau, they told me to send proof of payment and they would reimburse me. If you didn't laready figure ti out I'm still out the $160.00!!!! I am going to cantact the BBB again. Don't buy into anything that sounds to good to be true, it is usually a scam!!!!!

Thanks for sharing the info Catherine! Processing mails is just one of the popular scams. Typically, instead of sending materials to send out on behalf of a company, you get to place ads just like the one you have responded to, asking others to send you money regarding information about working at home. There is really no product or service involved and it's like a pyramid scheme.

I had a similar problem with a group that wanted me to process mailing lables for their company. By the time I bought lables and paid what they asked for for receiving their mailing list, I would never have been able to make money.
My advise is, if you have to pay to make money, don't go there. If the deal sounds good, and you want to give it a try, check with the Better Business Bureau first. Or, if you are a gambling soul, try the offer if there is a tiny bit of money involved. If you are like me, however, there is no such thing as a tiny amount of money to lose. Every penny counts.
Did you contact them again? Nagging works in the business world.
Demanding your money back now should also work. Tell them about the bad press they are getting here should also encourage them to get your money back to you. Be persistent.
Avoiding pyramid schemes is very important! Unless you get something for your money, which you usually wont, it's just a rip off.
GDI is another good site to avoid. They say they will get you your own website, but all you get is signed up for your own part of their pyramid. Go to an established web site for a real web site set up. I'd recommend Yahoo.
If I think of any other ways to "encourage" them to give you back your money, I will let you know asap. Good luck!

Good Luck with the BBB. I had to contact the BBB because one of those 'typing jobs' wouldn't return my money. I still haven't seen it, this was over a year ago. He just told me that he didn't care what the BBB was requiring, he still wasn't going to return my money and yep, he never did. The BBB couldn't do anything about it. Now the company doesn't even exist!! Oh well...
Good luck! $160 is way more than what I paid...

GDI IS NO SCAM. I do not agree with Red Robin. Checks are posted week earlier. Ofcourse people can buy .com domain for low as $8 a year with other domain registerar, but there is no income opportunity involved, you only get the domain, nothing else, then they charge you extra for hosting, GDI offer you incredible income opportunity, you pay $10 a month for domain and hosting, ofcourse you can get quality host
here for low as $10 a month to: [Affiliate link removed - Admin] - but GDI is not a scam. I just wanted to clear this out. Of 500 biggest corporations in the USA, they are number #37. I wish you all the best in life, just needed to point this out, have a nice day.
With Kind Regards,

I would really have to call you a moron. they need to give you the supplies, you are basicly paying them to work, now you are screwed., proof? they know they got the money, compaines like this are one man operation, they probably change their business name as many times to avoid any reports on the BBB, implying this is a good company, thats why BBB is a joke also...change one letter in your business name, and BBB has nothing on you.
