Chain letter scams
Typical Ad -- "Make copies of this letter and send
them to people whose names we will provide. All you have to do is send us ten
dollars for our mailing list and labels. Look at the chart below and see how you
will automatically receive thousands in cash return!!!"
The only people who benefit from chain letters are the
mysterious few at the top of the chain who constantly change names, addresses,
and post office boxes. They may attempt to intimidate you by threatening bad
luck, or try to impress you by describing themselves as successful professionals
who know all about non-existent sections of alleged legal codes.
