Man Ordered to Stop Work at Home Scam
A Knoxville man has been ordered to stop marketing several envelope stuffing businesses he operates.
A Knox County chancellor granted a request by the state attorney general to prohibit Payton Abernathy from marketing and promoting his “make money from home envelope stuffing” business.
Abernathy had advertised the businesses under at least seven different names, including Peyton Enterprises, Global Mail Marketing, Make Money Stuffing, PC Enterprises, American Mail Marketing, Freedom Marketing, and www.mailingprogram.com.
They were promoted as an opportunity for consumers to “make thousands stuffing envelopes” while at home.
The complaint filed by the state attorney general alleges Abernathy promoted unlawful businesses on the Internet and in classified ads with unfair and deceptive claims like “make thousands of dollars. Guaranteed!”
