I just wanted to share this, got back from work today to find I'd been sent a 419 by post, I haven't seen one of these in years. The lad claims to be from Hong Kong but the postmark is London, needless to say I won't be baiting this lad. Scan of the letter for your viewing pleasure

Great idea for the name of a band: "Risk Element ZERO"
Odd the next line says he is taking a great risk by mailing you.
This is such a great trophy! Congratulations! |

If you get any more, dont open them
Mail is traceable, and more vital clues may be in the saliva they use to lick the stamp/seal the envelope.
Ive no experience at all with postal fraud, but if the way its sent is manual theres a great chance of arrest |

Sorry, D-1, but it just doesn't work like that. A snail mail is what brought me here. Before I started googling, I called the Secret Service to see if they could do anything with the mail, being a good citizen and all; They wouldn't- I wasn't a victim, no money has been stolen, and no crime had been committed.
The nice young lady I spoke with agreed with me that I should keep the letter and hang it on my wall of shame, though. |

They probably got my address from the phonebook, I don't have a common surname so it wasn't a lucky guess. I didn't keep the stamp/envelope, no point. It was just a standard UK second class stamp. |

^^That's too bad, Rodus.
I treasure my snail mail scam stamps:
I'm thinking I may start baiting lads for handwritten scam letters sent through the post. |
