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!

| WARNING: |
This following email has nothing to do with
ITE.
This is some scammer who either wants your money or wants to
use your bank account to launder money. Note that when you
read this email it sounds like that company, ITE, is selling
pretty much everything there is. |

Chain letters... Before you'd get those in your mailbox. Now you get that all over the place from the Internet. There are many pyramid schemes available. You could find a new one every hour no problem!
