ANY random letter from somebody that you do not know and begins with "Dear Friend", is best thrown in the trash or deleted. Don't even bother reading the letter. Give yourself a fake name and give Ali Saibi the info to the Eye Are Ess. Let the feds have at 'em.
Another new scam is people are trying to use relay services (used for the deaf) to order unlocked cell phones, I had one last night but was interrupted by a Sprint operator. She said they were monitoring the call & traced it to Africa, red flag fraud call if there ever was one. (Customer said that he/she was in Atlanta.) It makes me sick to my stomach that people would take advantage of a service like that but it doesn't surprise me in the least.
Hows this for a curve ball to that same scam. From an email bulletin from the National Funeral Directors Association: Hard to believe but people do fall victim to this. We have been receiving about one relay call per month since the first of the year. They normally want to buy solid gold cremation jewelry and want to give me credit card numbers and have it express mailed out to them. It is really sad as we serve a deaf church in the area, so sometimes it is hard to deliniate between a real call and this crap.
