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!

Wow! Are you in the US or Canada? And you want my SSN? Good idea! And what about your phone number?! +44... That's the UK. 0703 must be around London. Maybe. So... a UK guy telling me "Our Companies at USA" and why wouldn't one of these "Companies at USA" contact me directly?!

Interessant... Le Canada cherche des jeunes diplômés de 22 à 50 ans. Il est évidemment possible d'avoir été diplômé recement et avoir 50 ans. Peut-être que les vieux de 50 ans pourront devenir Serviteur de bar. Encore que s'ils ont de la chance, ils deviendront surment Directeur de boîte.
Bon, en passant tous vos papiers seront fait à l'Embassade du Canada en France. Sympa non? Assez logique de mon point de vue. Bon...
Je peux pas attendre d'être contacter par mon Directeur de la ...

This one caught my eye because the very first link did not work in Pine. The fact is, it included two newline characters at the very beginning and they had not thought of that in Pine (which simply prints these newline characters and ends up printing the URL 2 lines below where it is supposed to be.) I fixed that link since it will bring you to the bank safely. I removed the other link that was the phisher link. Also, in the middle there was a broken link that, again, Pine shown instead of the hacker link. That means the hacker email was so bad that it was not even possible for me to get to

Today I received a letter from Liechtenstein. I thought, this is interesting. I read the letter because it mentioned a new mark from my company: Order Made.
I was not suspicious, I was thinking maybe they were going to say something such as: "this is our mark, go away." But since I was registering it in the U.S. the chances were slim.
The letter is from International Data Medium Anstalt (IDM). I have never ever heard of that company. So obviously I searched on the Internet and the first thing to pop-up is an attorney/legal website saying that you should be careful and they have ...

Ha! Ha! That old lady from Kensington Court writing me a little email to share her money. Yeah! Right! Notice that pretty much all of the people living on Kensington are known in the press because that area is so priced that is usually makes the news whenever someone moves there. However, these people are set. They're not gonna email you for this or that. Really! 8-) Too funny.
