Thread: Strange Letter

  1. #1

    Default Strange Letter

    How many orgers recieved a letter today like myself and a few of my neighbours got. This letter appeared to be from some sort of religious freeks. They claim to have messages from dead relations of mine also prophecies about myself and my family. All this with lots of quotes from the bible. They claim to have all this in a sealed brown manila envelope in a safe they will send this on to me if I forward them £10.07 or £7.07. I put this where rubbish should be in the bin but I wonder how many vulnerable people will send money to scams like this. Needless to say the address was a PO BOX in London The envelope also contain a bit of blue cloth supposed to be from a prophets shirt.

    When I've got a belly full of beer n' wine I can just reel off the prophecies and the messages from dead peeps. Jackson, Ghandi, Elvis, Lord Lucan.....but he's not dead actually, farms sheep up here now but only at night so he says.

    Anyhow, for the tripe I can come out with I'll do it for 50p.

    Police and trading standards should both be interested in any scams. If not to stop them to at least warn folk what they are........an attempt to part vulnerable folk from their hard earned dosh.
