throw them in the bin their just scams if you send 20 quid you will never see it again or the winnings.
my friends dad got one of those letters and blew all his savings thinking he had won £500,000 oh boy was he conned.

Don't go there friend. You must have heard all about fraud and con artists and even identity fraud. You do not get anything for free. It will cost you and usually you cannot get your money back. Everybody gets them, not just you. Chuck them in the bin and forget about them. Your postal details are somehow being passed on to these people.

when you get junk mail you should do what I do. If they come with a stamped addressed envelope or a freepost one than I mix up all the mail and return some of the mail to other companies in their envelopes. You can have great fun with this, and it costs them money too.

I think most ppl have gotten at least one of these in their lives. Is there some to ask ur post office that u dont want em? i know in some countries u put up a ``NO JUNK MAIL SIGN´´ then its up to the post to recyle them or somethin...........

Yes they are con artists, put these things straight in the shredder, the only people who are winning money out of these things are the twats who are sending them, and the money is coming from people like you. Cha Ching!!

Its a con.
Put them in the bin..............or if there is a return address on the envelope stick it up again, put "deceased - Return to Sender" by your name and put it back in the post (with no stamp on, needless to say).
Or, if there is a return envelope, write a lot of abuse on their form and post it back (no stamp again) but make sure there is nothing on it to identify you.
Both make you feel better as there is a chance they will pay the return postage for nothing...................and stop sending you more if they think you are dead!

If you're in the UK, and the letters are asking you for money, send them to your local Trading Standards office.

When you give your personal details to people (banks, online amazon accounts, etc)
there's a little box that says "please tick if you do not want to recieve info from 3rd parties"
you ain't been ticking them :-)
