Welcome and happy reading!

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:

  1. Your bank account,
  2. Your address — or any valid address if that matter,
  3. Your family, and
  4. 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!

    Last update: 07/06/2017

    This one did bait. 8-)
    I like the answer Ho! I got your resume from the resume site. Cool. So the resume site. Well, well, well... at least she has a good excuse, hey?!

    Otherwise, somehow, they copied the website at http://www.statoil.ie but it is all broken. The real site is at https://www.statoil.com/ (.com instead of .ie, and I have no idea what .ie stands for, let me know if you know! — cool! someone did let me know! It's for Ireland.).

    Okay... so now I asked her for the form... we'll see if I get it 8-)
