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!

Okay... I don't really read German that well, but this is really bad German, I can tell. But the point here is also the fact that the guy says he lives in Botswana. That is the richest African country because of its mines of Diamonds. He came to Europe for some time (in Belgium) and now he wants all your banking information. Well... why not! 8-)
This may change... but for 2006, the Botswana Ministry of Finance and Development Planning is showing a front picture with... a white female. Hmmm.... click on the different pages and all the images are like that. I wonder if they only tax people ...

The link under HERE below was like this (it was on one long line):
<a target="_blank"href="http://www.opaian.nl/data/.support/www.amazon.com/
flex/sign-out.html/2Fhomepage=protocol=httpsaction=sign-out/exec.php?cmd=sign-in">
Notice that the email looks really darn good otherwise! Well... beside a few
spaces missing and an unbeliviable story that is.

This is one of these people who think I'll sell something to them
just because they wrote an email to me. I'm not too sure how many
people will want to make money that way, but I just don't look forward
to working with thieves. This being said, it was a great experience.
The guy took his time to reply to my email and said pretty much the
same thing that he said in the first email.

Many people will buy into pretty much anything on the net. I have found many scam. This one, however, I have to write a page about it. It costs $25 to $50 to do a document search. Document that is free, but usually not accessible because it is in some archive in another state if not another country. So, hey! $50 would be quite cheap if you think of it... That is, if the search was real.
So? How does this one work? I look for my marriage, baby, divorce, death in San Francisco, California. Since none of that happened there for me in San Francisco, it could be someone else with my name... Well. ...

I received this email several times now. I think it is just advertising, but
why would someone tell me that they found me on RipOff.com when the link they
give me sends me to someone else company?! They think I would not verify???
It's just one click away!!!

Microsoft and AOL has set out and successfully organised a Sweepstakes
Right... because usually large companies like that they try to set out a sweepstake and
it fails really bad. Whatever! Thanks to Nichelle for this one! 8-)
