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!

He! He! I have a company... but really this Kong should eventually look at the website to see what I'm eventually doing here. Anyway, always fun to see these totally mistargeted emails. And maybe it works for them. That is, they probably find people who bait at this and work form them (get stolen?!)

Interesting new scheme... the cheque is expiring so Mr Blah will cash it for your to make sure that the money is not lost. In the meantime, send us some more money so we can reissue a cheque for you. As if that Mr Blah could not just send me a personal cheque. 8-)
Note: In England you do write "Cheque" (pronounce nearly like the French word). So that is correct. In case you were wondering. Yet, the spelling of infoïmation is quite interesting!

Watch out for these I've got a job for you scams. What they are after are
your credentials that they later use to gain access to your money. With a large
database of stolen credit card numbers with just a name, all they are missing is
your address. Also, they could use your name to get a credit line and then screw
the back payment saying they are not the person named on the mortgage. Guess
what... It'll be you who will be contacted next!

Wow! I receive that after I read in the news paper that the housing market had big problems in the U.S. Am I going to get a loan now?! Hmmm... maybe! If I'm lucky I'll get it from a bank that will go down the pipe and poof! no need to finish paying. 8-) [hey! what the heck! I can always dream, right?!]
Ha! Also the guy asks for your sex... Mine is growing 5 in. per month these days! 8-)

Sorry for all the "Torchin" but that is a funny name. In French, "Il est complètement torché" means "he's completely drunk". Also, we have the word "torchon" meaning a piece of cloth used to clean things like the kitchen table, dishes, etc.
