If it's too good to be true . . .

I got this letter in the mail the other day.  It's a good scam:

  • my name and address are handwritten
  • there's a real stamp on the envelope
  • it indicates they've tried to contact me several times (and with people ditching landlines all the time, who wouldn't pause for a moment)
  • it's signed by the company's vice-president!
This is a phishing scam meant to get your personal information and raid your accounts, and again proves some cliches are still very true.
