[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 190427, member: 1514"] I used to get them but havent in a long long time. I have received a few checks in my actual mail that I know are scams where they ask me to deposit this check and send them back xxx amount. Ok...yes...right! I was born in the morning but not yesterday morning. I dont know if you guys remember when we (Cory) got caught up in that really strange credit card scam. He was underage and some man talked to him on Yahoo and got our address and convinced him that he (the man) would make these purchases and ship them to our house and Cory was to keep some and forward some of them to this guy in some weird place. The guy actually sent some fedex shipping supplies here. We got about 3 odd items before I started wondering what this stuff was. At first it was really small stuff. A cheap radio, a weird supply of beauty stuff, and something else I cant remember. The third time I told the shipping company to return it to sender. The first two times I thought maybe it was something we accidentally won somewhere because they really were cheaply made. Things kept coming and after the fedex shipping supplies came...and I read the yahoo IM texts...I went to the Postmaster. I kept getting catalogs and stuff in this guys name. I kept getting shipments for this guy. I called the companies that were sending the stuff and reporting that we didnt order it. That this guy didnt live here. It turned out that they knew it was being ordered on a stolen credit card and this name was out of Nigeria and it was some ring they were looking into but they didnt want to stop sending out the junk. To this day I still get his catalogs. I cant change his address because its illegal to change someone elses name. I even get thank you cards from both political parties for his contributions!
