My mama got one purporting to be from her bank. It said her account might have been compromised, and wanted her to enter her account number and PIN. Geez!

What I love is when I get one from a bank I don't even do business at......LOL

I'm still waiting for the Nigerian guy to send me a cashier's check

[Palehorse]

And I am still awaiting that certified letter telling me the "millions" from my great-great Uncle in England "Sir Blah-blah-Blah" is being deposited into my account! 

[Mr442]

I like to reply with a bogus string of random numbers for accounts and pins.  I can only hope the waste time with them.

[Sandy Eggo]

No, they get angry and fill up your email w/hate spam. I had a friend who set up a free email and tried that.

sorta in the same type venue:

i was reading something somewhere and the person was encouraging people to take the postage paid return envelopes from junk mail, cut up other junk mail, insert it into the envelope and mail it back to junkmailer.  i thought that was a good idea, if you had enough sense to cut around your name and address.

lmao, not that i would ever ever do something like that.

Hell. I still put the stuff into the same envelope, ripped up with my name on it, and mail it back to them. I leave my name because I want them to know who it comes from. Eventually they get it and stop sending me that crap. (If we ever need toilet paper though I'm in trouble).

Ya, ya kinda have to leave your name on something inside or it doesn't work.  They have to know who to not send stuff too anymore.
