Welcome and happy reading!

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:

  1. Your bank account,
  2. Your address — or any valid address if that matter,
  3. Your family, and
  4. 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!

  • Norway Consulting 2006—Pink Ass, Punk Ass...
    Last update: 11/01/2009

    Okay... let's say I'm currently looking for a job. I receive this email and think: wow! 8% of 1 million is US $80,000! Of course, I want that kind of a salary (well most people would want such a salary.)

     
  • Yahoo Alert—Confirm Your yahoo Account
    Last update: 10/31/2009

    Alright, so many errors! First of all, Yahoo! is more likely to send you an HTML email for such a thing. Plus, they would never ask you to send them a password by email, what for?! Not only that, they have a brand and that's Yahoo! with an exclamation mark at the end. And of course, the funniest part is certainly the fact that the person used a verizon.net email address. I'm sure a lot of Yahoo! personnel uses verizon email addresses to talk to Yahoo! users! 8-)

     
  • Mira Gedu—i belive you don't have some thing upstairs
    Last update: 11/01/2009

    Nothing upstairs... what does that mean?! That I'm an idiot?

     
  • Monica—To view this greeting card...
    Last update: 10/31/2009

    This is a new way to send people a virus. The good thing (if I may say) is that the virus does not get directly in your mailbox. But people who follow the link thinking: wow! I received a card, certainly do see a card at the end. But it is a virus. This only affects MS-Windows (big surprise) but hey... it's still is a virus. What kind, I don't know and it really doesn't matter to me. Just watch out for yourself!

    Note that I removed the incoming email since it can very well be a legitimate email address that the virus used to email me.

  • Morgan Harper—LE CANADA A LA RECHERCHE DE TOUS LES JEUNES DIPLOME
    Last update: 07/10/2012

    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...
