Nigerian scam PHYSICAL SNAIL MAIL? Anyone else getting this?
 

I just got one of the class nigerian scam letters in the mail.

Sent from EU to the US with a 0.77EU stamp on it.... damn these guys serious!

what excactly is a snail mail???

physical mail to my house

received one mail like this about 5 years ago.

with postal address wroten like i had wroten only at few affiliate programs. note - adult affiliate programs. does not remember names - these program are dead for long time, but fact.

Back in the early 90's my boss used to get them all the time.

I got one from the Spanish lottery yesterday mailed from Europe. I live 25 metres from the lcoal police station so I dropped it in.

They take that stuff quite seriously now and faxed it off to someone who can chase up the Spanish addresses etc.

I really agree with your thoughts...

Actually the only people that know the address that it was sent to are adult companies.

If you got one maybe some adult site sold the list?

Tical I just hit you up on ICQ with details of everyone who knows the address that the letter was sent to. See you are on any of those lists.

Wow I guess the pro scammers decided to take this whole thing a level higher.

No it started off with people doing it via snail mail, seems as though they have realised that people now know about the email scam.

The documents I got through today I think would fool an unsuspecting person.

They werent asking for money but were trying to get my personnal bank details etc.

Most people would probably think that there was no harm in handing over those details as it wasnt a credit card number etc.

They even had phone lines set up that were answered by the lottery in Spanish, head quarters address etc.

never got a real letter

same here... but this was maybe 2 years ago

nope..the only ones I get in the actual mail are those ones trying to get you to renew your domains with a company that they aren't registered with but even those have died down
