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!

If you speak proper French, this is going to be hard to read... and also fun! 8-) One thing, the person jumps from "tu" to "vous" and it just sounds like a kid talking to you.

Not too sure what people can do with an access to NetSpend since as far as I can tell, they would not transfer money from your NetSpend account to someone "random". But maybe the person can enter oneself as a company which is to be paid some money and just send a check... which means we'll know his/her address. And if it's overseas, it's quite unlikely that it will work. The other thing would be identity theft... Anyway, hopefully they don't show the SSN of their users anywhere!

The funny part in this one is at the end. Looks like one of these photocopies
where the original did not get place properly so we cannot read the edges...

Another good one. Gold at my door in a few days. Well, I mean a box full of
cash. I wonder why that guy couldn't just do it all himself... Hmmm...

I like the title of this one. Outstanding payment... as in Incredible?
Otherwise, there is the usual problems: Mr Mike Peter, Mike Peters,
Willis, IMF Office Benin 02, Dr Robert Water, Mr Rodrigo de Rato
Figaredo. Who am I talking with already?!
Also note that this person found my name in the Central Computer.
He! He! He! "The Internet Central Computer"?
