I'm the winner of US$165,000. Yay!

Checked out my Snail Mail today, and a personally addressed A5 envelope, with actual Malaysian Postage Stamps was there waiting for me.

Inside, a amateurish but otherwise passable glossy travel brochure promoting the Perfect Dream Tour (Copyright 2005) celebrating their 11th anniversary, and enclosing two scratchy cards ...



You guessed it - I won the 2nd prize of US$165,000

Looks great ... even quotes an ISBN number although what a book reference number has to do with a scratchy card, who knows?

Don't be taken in by this variation on a theme (or rather, variation on a scheme):

Variation on a SCHEME

A scheme to part you with the contents of your wallet - or bank account.

Congrats, now to release your winnings we require you to send $3,000 so we can (slowly) clear your proceeds (life savings).

Cheers,

This particular scam was in the newspapers here in Nelson a couple of weeks ago.

Is this something new?
