ENVELOPE STUFFING SCAM (maybe)

We have heard from many people around the country who have sent in money to a company in Texas called IMEX, Inc. In return for $35, the company promises to send envelopes to stuff for $2.00 per envelope. Unfortunately, they have not heard from the company since they sent in their check.

First, let me say that we are NOT that company. We are IMEX Exchange, Inc. of New York City, and we are in the Internet business.

We do not know this company in Texas or have any affiliation with them. We cannot tell you whether they are legitimate or not. However, ask yourself a few questions:

1. Does it make sense to have to pay someone to work for them?
2. Does it make sense to send money to someone you do not know especially when they do not publish a phone or fax number on their literature?
3. Does it make sense that someone would pay you $2.00 per envelope PLUS the cost of shipping you material PLUS the cost to send the material back to them when a machine can do the same work for much less WITHOUT the double shipping costs?
4. Does the literature guarantee you work or only the promise of work (maybe)?

The FBI and the Fraud Division of AOL have been notified and are investigating. The FBI told IMEX that the envelope stuffing scam is an old scam.

If you have sent in money, do NOT call us or e-mail us. We cannot help you. We suggest you notify your state Attorney General's office and see if they can help. You should also notify you local TV news station consumer reporter who might be able to help.

We wish you success.
