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!

This is really a shame. When I started to get these scam, I was offered 80% commission. Now it's down at 20%. It probably makes it sound a bit more legitimate!

For those who don't know "Assalamou Aley Koum" means "Hi" in arabic
(actually, really it means "Peace be to you", but it is usually translated
as "Hi" since that's mostly the way it is used.)
It just isn't usually written that way in latin letters. In general
it is written like this: "Assalamu 'Alaikum". It is also found
written as "As-salaamu Alaikum".
Assalam Alaikum in arabic:
اﻟﺴﻼه ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ

I suppose this is one of these emails to put you in confidence...
Do not pay another dime.
Without paying another dollar.
Stop paying even another cent.
This sounds good, I guess. I mean, if you are in debt. Otherwise useless for sure. But okay... let's study the email a little more:
