Dear esteemed customer

Sheesh, do people actually fall for this? I found this in my inbox this morning. What a shame "Mr. Raymond Lee" will "face jail terms" if I don't return the affidavit.

  1. I often wonder if anyone actually falls for this type of scam . In the past year we have received numerous scam phone calls and the people that make these calls are far more cunning than the letter you received .There is a way to block scammer's if you have a cell phone, but not with a landline like we have .I give no information out and no donations over the phone , Just seems like these people are coming out of the woodwork these days.

  3. Yes, people do fall for these scams. During the time I worked at a gas station convenience store (2008-2010) an older man stopped in occasionally to get a drink. He was working as a auto parts delivery driver at age 75 because his wife has answer one of these kinds of emails and lost their entire life savings thinking she would be the recipient of millions from some guy in Africa. It happens!

  5. Hi.. my name is Craig and I usually use Duck Duck Go as my search engine..tonight I tried to read your blog and a big red page popped up and told me I couldn't go to your blog because it was not safe... I tried getting in through some other ways, but it continued to pop up..I switched to Firefox and here I am.. I'm an old geezer and really don't understand the ways of the internet, but I just thought you would want to know. I enjoy your writing, thank you very much.

  6. Our local newspaper recently had a 'legal notice' rum for 3 days with a much shortened version of your e-mail. Couldn't figure out what it meant nor why the paper published it. Waiting for letters to the editor from people who responded.

  7. It’s never ending in the scam world. Guess if it didn’t work from time to time, they would stop fishing. Sad that there are folks who fall for the bologna! Thanks for the share!

  8. It's a good reminder to talk with our older folks and let them know NEVER give info over the phone or computer. I know of three older gals who fell for scams (2 phone/1 computer) and loss thousands. My 89 year old mom and I talk about all the "funny calls" she gets. Let just say, her "Christian values" don't came through and the caller gets an ear full.
