Don’t call!

Don’t email!

I think it is an elaborate phishing scam designed to verify your address and then sell it to other nefarious organizations!

ExpressoBold Pureblood is right.

Deborah HH is right that ExpressoBold Pureblood is right.

Simply ignore the letter. Shred it or burn it or set it aside in case you run out of bog roll.

(Is ‘bog roll’ still an actively used Britishism for what we over here call TP?)

I don’t speak “British English”, but doesn’t the phrase,

“The credit interest rate on your account(s) is reducing”

sound more like the English they teach to Nigerian Princes?

The scam I think is to confirm that your email is a valid one with the correct name linked to it. I believe that it’s worth more money on dark net mailing lists that way.

Your first clue is the opening word…

Dear

I’ve noticed over the years African and Asian scammers think we just use “dear” as a salutation, sometimes “Dearest”.

What these guys said ^^^^. PLEASE don’t contact them.

The preceding advice is fantastic. And there are ways you can look “under the hood” at the email to gather more info but those directions are longer than this text block allows.

However, if you do still feel the need to contact that company, look them up on these interweb tubes and use the phone # listed there.

It looks like some have assumed this is an email. But stoaty said:

I got this in the post today.

Post. In the Post. Unless I’m stupider than I thought, that means physical letter.

I’m certain that stoaty’s long experience with the net has given her long experience with all the flavors of email nastiness. But this physical letter ploy is something new AFAIK.

My wife actually got a Nigerian Prince letter in the mail from the U.K. once; it had a cool stamp on it and everything. She’s Japanese. I point this out because the letter said that her English great-uncle had left her a ton of pounds…

I kept that letter for a long time because it made me smile every time I looked at it. I mean -there- was a guy who understood that you have to invest money to make money. I wonder if he got enough suckers to pay for all the money he must of spent on postage.

Yes, it was paper. In the mail. My address was correct. It didn’t say “Dear” it said “Dear My Name” – I just blotted out my name.

Yes, it’s bogroll here, but only Yankees say TP. Yankees like to abbreviate things, like PJs. Southerners say Toilet Paper and pajamas.

I guess I’m a hybrid then. It’s ‘toilet paper’ when I’m speaking, but ‘TP’ on the shopping list.

Born south of the Mason-Dixon but not very far south: Maryland. Then lived all over.

And what are ‘pajamas’? (-:
