Venditoris: Beware of Scams

---

Now from South/Africa comes the latest letter to no one in particular, just” Sir / Madam”, trying to set the hook for those in Atlanta or South Africa.

It might as well read, “Any suckers out there wishing to answer this?”

They’ll probably find a few. The fact that they are still doing it means they are still catching a few unaware or otherwise challenged fishes.

We hope that a searchable array of such letters displayed here and on some of the other websites linked below will catch a few before they unwisely answer. Even only one today will do just fine.
