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!

Usually viruses are included in your email and they are easy to detect (for people such as me at least...) with stuff such as: Open the attached document, that's URGENT, from someone you never ever heard of ever.
This one, of course, I never heard of the sender either, but the difference here is that the "hacker" is asking you to click on a link which will download an executable (for Windows, again, won't work under my Linux box, do you have a Linux box too? That's already 99% protection against these attacks!)
Not too sure whether this was effective, but some people ...

Good one. That is, there are quite a few things here that are quite
funny...
"However, I got your email information on your Hotel contact list."
I'm not too sure which Hotel he's speaking about... With my email
address at SourceForge.net? Hmmm...
"Total amount involve is $150,000,000 million usd."
Not too sure how to read this one. Is this $150 trillion
dollars? Or he meant only $150 million? Quite frankly,
if that's only $150 million, I just won't waste my time.
Etc...

The following is my compiled list of email addresses from
people who claim they have loads of money to share with me.
Do whatever you want with them. If it happens to be your
email address and you think you are innocent... you may want
to change it at once.

Hey! Never been in Africa, and even though some say they speak English, French or German, when they do they use many words the wrong way. But this one is funny: A Law Firm of Advocates...
Note that in French we translate Attorney as Avocat. So that's most certainly the French word poorly translated to English. Still quite funny! 8-)
