Interesting mail from Australia
Today I got an interesting piece of mail from Australia. At first it was exciting. Wow! Australia! then I asked myself, "Who do I know in Australia?" I opened the envelope, and took out the contents. It was similar to the stuff you get from Publisher's Clearing House, only this stuff was supposedly details for a lottery, or lotteries in Australia. I'm not Australian, so I got suspicious. So I Googled the company who had mailed me the documents, and learnt that it was a SCAM! So I ripped off my address, and relegated the envelope and its contents to the blue box to be recycled.
So, if anyone out there gets mail from Australia, from the Lottery Awards Office, don't respond to it! They ask you to send them money, that is the first clue that should warn you that you are being scammed! I'm certain that my name was gotten off the internet, or given to these people by some other people in North America who keep lists of people's names. I call it "The Suckers List". Don't get taken in by these people! Be careful, and never send any money to any institution that claims to be able to make you rich!
