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! 8-) This email is from koulibaky aicha, or Koulibaly aicha or maybe just aicha... But the most impressive is the fact that the body of the email was repeated 42 times! I mean, you know, the fact that it is sent from a Spain account even though it is in French, we've seen that before.

This one, I got 8 copies in no time. So I decided it had to be here.
The interesting part is the X-AntiAbuse in the header...

At last one guy says it upfront: you'll have to pay a fee. That's all that will happen, but hey... he's telling you that you will have to spend some money to get what he's telling you that you will get. And he repeats it three times. Just in case it wasn't clear the first time.
But of course, the best is: AND YOU MOVE TO YOUR BANK. Welcome to your new safe, hope it's large enough for you...

No wonder that this is top secret stuff! It includes DOLLERS, no really, 'E', not 'A'. It's a top secret currency anyway. That's why you did not hear about it. The main problem is, because it is top secret, you cannot use that money for anything... And please, don't tell anybody! 8-)

Now a day, there are loads of spammers who send you emails which
they hope will go through your anti-spam filter. Note that if
you have a spam filter, it's likely that you do not want their
emails and thus forcing them through is rather useless.
Now my question is: Who are the morons who answer such emails?!?
Not even one sentence is correct English!!! (plus the format is
broken! which means that maybe there was an attempt to attach an
image.)

Note: Dunno if Amazon really sends emails like these with a font size of 9pt, but I cannot read 9pt on my screen. Even on paper that's small. So I changed this email to 12pt which now I can mostly read without having to zooming.

Well... what fund? anyway? 8-)
