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!

Got that one this morning. Funny. The guy wants to buy some of my products with a credit card. I mean, you know, I have sold many products and never had someone send me an email like this one. Anyway...
The funniest part is when he says: gimme your website URL!
He wants some of my products but he does not even know what the heck I'm selling. Guess what, at my company we are selling stuff that have nothing to do with what he wants. I'd bet pretty much anything since most people do not want a software library or even Turn Watcher...
And in case you want to know more about my ...

First time for everything! Look at that, this is bad, I'm going to
have an invoice that says "Live Strip Chat Camera Sexy Girls".
How am I going to explain that one to my wife?! Or maybe I won't
click on the fake link? Because http://mail.gsasurveying.com/login/
has probably nothing to do with PayPal, right?

Somehow this one caught my eye today. Nothing special, very much
the usual... but I have to say that somehow who's ready to backup
all of his claims with pictures, that's quite different from people
doing just some blah blah blah. I'm gonna ask him whether he has a
picture of the dead body laying on the ground! Maybe a bit more later?

Yet another bank. And this one... a little more and it would be in the city
where I live! 8-) I'm in the next town over, but hey! That's really
close. So I could have a personal account in that bank, couldn't I?

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...
