1. Get the new Instant Fly Killer! $19.95 works every time!
The package shows up in the mail and its two wood blocks one has an A on it and the other a B. The instructiosn read;
"Place fly on block A and hit with block B".
2. A guy put an ad in the paper sayin, "Send me one dollar and I'll send you nothing". Really! Guy made several thousand dollars from it.

I had a friend that worked in the Main Post office in Los Angles years ago, he told me some funny stories about scams, Like what you posted. The thing is these people open PO box''s all over the place. I think the best was this guy took out ad's in papers all over the country. Send your dollars to Peter Perfect. Well it happens the guy's name was Peter Perfect.
