Great post—lots of detailed information here.

Bottom line—never send cash in the mail to anyone.

Never ever.

To anyone!

My dad got hit by these scumbags twice. Once it he was called about having a virus on his computer and bought over $1000 of virus removal and lifetime protection. The second time is was "Publisher's Clearinghouse" and he had to send over $3000 cash hidden in a magazine. Fortunately the USPS inspectors shut them down before his mail got there, so they returned his money and took sworn statements from him about them.

Thanks. These scams really do work and he is right. Most who fall for it are older folks.

Good God.

There are people who don’t believe evil exists as a natural, baked-in characteristic in man.

These are evil, criminal scum, predators who deserve no mercy, none whatsoever.

Evil.

Just evil.
