Another Stupid Scam
The other day I received the following letter in the mail:
The letter was accompanied by a very life-like check for $3,850 made out to me. My first thought was “sweet, my luck is finally changing. I have 4 grand in my pocket and a half-a-million dollars on the way. Brazil, here we come…”
I then realized how stupid I was (it took at least 2 seconds) and looked more carefully at the letter. I saw that they were prompting me to call a phone number with a United Kingdom area code to talk to “Greg Johnson,” despite the fact that the alleged company behind the award, Autohaus on Edens Inc., was apparently headquartered in Northbrook, IL (as indicated in the header of the letter).
I decided to scan this one in and share it with the public. Greg Johnson, wherever you are, why don’t you go f%#k yourself.
By the way, some people may be turned off by all the expletives in this blog. I only have one thing to say - if the president and vice-president of our country can cuss on television for all the world to see, then I can cuss on my blog.
