I just recieved a scam letter in the mail today. First clues this is a scam - the envelope had no return address on it, and my name and address were handwritten versus typed. Second clue - the heading states its from US Airlines, which is a non-existant company, and there was no return address on the letter either. Third clue - "If its too good to be true, it usually is."
I would advise that people not even dare call the 800 number on the letters.
The letter, dated April 11th, states exactly as follows:
NOTE: You must respond no later than April 20th.
