										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is up with all the scam letters lately? The ones that claim you have won a large sum of money or a luxurious holiday.<br />
Yesterday Carla received a new one. It pretended to be a parcel notice from Canada so I opened it. &#8220;You have won a Sony digital camera worth &pound;599 or another item. Just send in &pound;25 processing fee and &pound;5 administration fee and you will receive your digital camera or another item.</p>
<p><span id="more-38"></span><br />
The letters are always very elaborate and have all sorts of fake certifications. Obviously money is spent on them, they keep coming back so I guess somebody actually is managing to trick people.<br />
I have not seen this kind of effort to lure money from people before moving to the UK. This makes me think that</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>The privacy of a private person and their home is not valued much since there are loop holes in the law to allow this</li>
<li>Some companies have no code of honor. How can you possibly live with your self if being in charge of such business?</li>
</ol>
<p>I just registered my self with the <a href="http://www.mpsonline.org.uk" title="MPS" target="_top" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mail Preference Service</a>. A service that marketing companies can join and then make sure to delete details of people who have registered with MPS. The problem is that there is a cost to companies to join so what incentive is there for them? Next I&#8217;ll be forwarding scam letters to the <a href="http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/" title="TSA" target="_top" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trading Standards Authority</a>.</p>
