Haven't they heard of email?
Either that or this spam/scam works well enough that they can spring for a stamp. I guess they will have to issue the vouchers to my alternate. ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21366390592.659035.jpg

I got a letter like this some twenty years ago and while I was skeptical, I did call the number supplied.
I had won a boat and the only requirement was that I agreed to use it. Of course, they had to get the boat to me and that would have cost several hundred dollars. I'm not sure not sure where I got the information, but I later learned that people who fell for the scam received an inflatable raft of some sort that wouldn't have been safe to deploy in a swimming pool. I did a search on the number supplied in your letter and there were no complaints lodged against it. I searched Sue Long and since I don't have any filters applied to Google, I got a couple of very interesting, NSFW pictures.

I just searched 'Sue Long.' She seems like an active lady.

I get the phone calls with the same scam. I always (politely) ask them to remove my number (it's always my mobile number) from their calling list. Sometimes they agree; other times they just hang up on me.
Check out this site http://www.419eater.com/ for the Nigerian scam baiters.
