These kinds of scams work on desperate people. It does make one curious, though.

Not to be off-topic, but some common sense applies here: lately the police in my area are trying to alert elderly people from being ripped off. Mainly trying to inform them not to leave their purses open and up for grabs in their shopping carts.

Whenever I go to the grocery store, that's all I see is elderly people with their purse in the seat of the shopping cart WIDE OPEN with their wallet OPEN and cash right there for anyone to just walk by and grab the wallet right out, and these people are clueless!

I mentioned it once to someone and I got a dirty look, like I was gonna take it!

Hey I’m special too!!!

I got the same letter….I’m afraid I just tossed it in the trash....I have no imagination I guess.

Just remember, whenever you click on one of those links they now have your ISP address to whatever computer you use. All the information on your computer is now available to even the lowest of the low hackers.

Somebody asked if I was a minor....No im 36.

I just like messing with the morons that think I'm so stupid as to send them 139 bucks.

I should scoop up a nice jucy load of silky poo and send them that!!!

I'm still curoius about the book, just because I like to read off the wall texts....but not 139.00 curoius.

I love when they send me things on postage paid envelopes because I know it costs them money to think I'm stupid.

I doubt there is any text at all.


BUT funny scam, I have to admit.

oh my husband loves messin' with the scam guys! He's an IT guy (computer) and his job is to stop the garbage from coming through. every once in awhile he'll get a good one and respond. He'll send them a similar story back and invite them to dinner and tell them that he has a good secret to sell too. etc. then he signs his name:Sincerely, Chuck E. Cheese. it's funny when the scammers respond with Dear Mr. cheese.............

This is a very good point about the purse, and something a lot of people never think of. I keep mine belted in with the child safety strap. When I lived in Alaska we actually watched a truck swerve toward a woman with a cart and a man grabbed her purse out and drove off...we tried to help chase them down and called the police for her (they had her phone too) but as far as I know they got away clean.
