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!

Okay... nothing special about this one... we've seen it before, a guy who wants to
give you some of his money (20% here) in order for you to distribute it to
charities. I wonder when Bill Gates will give me his money for his charity. I'll
glad to keep 20% of that...
What's funny here is that the guy wrote a long email in a single paragraph. Isn't
that funny? Actually... really hard to read if you want to hear my own comment.

Hey! First one I get with some arabic in it. 8-)
I suppose the arabic is the translation of the English (or the other
way around rather!) The funny one in this email is the subject which
says that I have to fix my SSL server. Reading the email, it says that
the bank upgraded their service and we have to do something with that.
Like if changing the SSL Server would cause anything different?!
SSL Server?! I thought Apache was the Server and SSL was the support
to encrypt the data transmitted...

Ein email aus Deutsch! Okay, I'll stop there with my German...
Now the interesting thing here is that the Umlaut start only
later in the email. Well... maybe all the words before don't
need any. Notice also that this is in German, sent from
voila.fr and in regard to a Spanish lottery. I think I won,
again!

This is really a shame. When I started to get these scam, I was offered 80% commission. Now it's down at 20%. It probably makes it sound a bit more legitimate!

I suppose this is one of these emails to put you in confidence...
Do not pay another dime.
Without paying another dollar.
Stop paying even another cent.
This sounds good, I guess. I mean, if you are in debt. Otherwise useless for sure. But okay... let's study the email a little more:
