Since, like anyone else, I receive tons of scam emails and snail mail letters, I decided to present here some of these. All of these (and many more which I just delete) are scams. This means, what the senders have in mind is to racket one of us. And according to what I've seen, they do succeed quite often.
If you have similar letters in your mailbox, either disregard or play with the person knowing that you can't give him (or her) any information about:
-
Your bank account,
-
Your address — or any valid address if that matter,
-
Your family, and
-
any other information that you judge private or even intimate.
Ha! I say "Your"... even if you don't like your neighbor at all, don't give his information either. The Internet leaves tracks (hackers in the US are being caught one after another!) and you would certainly be in even bigger trouble.
In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy reading these letters as I do myself once in a while. 8-)I do not always add comments with the letters since I usually don't have time to do so, but there would often be a lot of joke to tell!

This was sent to me by someone in Australia. So they hit all over the place now. This Access America Financial Group... did you already see a real company offering to play lottery type games that had a name including "Financial" like this?!
Okay. Now I think this isn't bad at all. It shows you a really nice picture with something that looks like a check (with the correct font for the numbers at the bottom.)
On this one I made a little whois to see who registered the name mbtnursery.com and somehow it is someone in New York. Wrong address but still in the same state! Okay, so ...

Sent to me by someone else, I thought that it was interesting that someone uses hospital/clinic as a cover...

Alright, so... I'm not too sure when these started but it is still the same woman: Kelly (that sounds good), 37 (since several years, there is a problem here...), Female (well... who knows, maybe that's good.) What I'm thinking is to keep an account of when I receive these emails to see whether it ever increases in the age part.
Oh! And to stop these crazy emails, we can send a letter to Panama. You know... that Kelly in Folsom... she has some link with Panama? Maybe through the Jail?! (hey! never heard of the Folsom Prison?)

Good one! 1st the subject is "bonjour" but the entire email is English.
Then, the email says "for my female client." How often do you hear such a sentence from an attorney at law?
