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!

The following is my compiled list of email addresses from
people who claim they have loads of money to share with me.
Do whatever you want with them. If it happens to be your
email address and you think you are innocent... you may want
to change it at once.

Not too long ago, I got this letter from USTMS saying that they would actually make sure that my trademark is properly protected. I read the thing a bit to see how much they would charge and such.
Well... Point one, they are not attorneys. That's funny because so far those I heard of monitoring trademarks are attorneys. Funny, hey?! Bar start, I will say.
And so, what's the price? A little cheaper than the IDM company since this one is only US $395.00. Plus the stamp because the envelope is not pre-stamped...
Whether they really do something that's useful, hey! Maybe it works ...

Sie haben €1.000.000,00 gewonnen! Yeah! Right! Well... I
put this one because it is in German and I do not receive that
many of these in German 8-). Now, notice that the return path is an
email address in poland. And the person to contact is in England.
What kind of a German Lottery is that?!

This is another lottery scam email stuff... If I'm putting it here it's because this one includes a website which has a reference to a company in the U.K. A false one, that is, that company doesn't exist. How can you know?! Easy! You go here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house and click on WebCHeck (Free company information). In there you put the name of the company:
