More Deceptive Sleaze Bag Mailings

I got this one a while ago and it ended up in my shredder pile for a month or so. Since I never throw away anything intact with my name or address on it, I usually throw incoming junk mail into a pile that is destined for the shredder the next time I get around […]

National Awards Commission Weasels Try To Separate Me From My Money

The latest sleazy sweepstakes offer to arrive at my home via U.S. Mail is from an outfit calling themselves “National Awards Commission.” They list a return address of P.O. Box 219800, Kansas City, MO 64121-9800.
