419ers adopt a new technology: the postal system
Interesting to get this letter from the UK today, sent air mail from the Croydon Mail Centre, Surrey, on September 5.
The Nigerian 419 scammers have figured out that email is ineffective, so they are moving on to this brand-new technology: mail.
As with the last time I blogged about clumsy 419 attemptsâa terrible PDFâthis one brings up more questions. An attorney without his own letterhead or an office address? A matter so urgent on August 19 that it took them 17 days to put it into the post? An executor so ineffective that it takes him nine years to locate next of kin?
These people do not think. If I can be found online, then clearly I’ve established a bit of a reputation. And I didn’t get there by being a moron.
As a public notice, please be wary of the change of medium from the 419ers. They may be reaching out to you soon via the postal system, a method that they commonly used before the days of email.
