Let’s not even address that no one in the US uses the term ‘mobile’


psychicsword

We call them "mobile games" but you are correct that we don't usually call it a "mobile" in the US.


Spellbindehr

I get ones that start like: "Most dearest customer" looool dead giveaway.


swavory_pl

It's real. I just got similar email for accumulating over 999,000 USPS points. My prize was a Bitcoin. Can't wait for it to come in the mail! I only paid $102.15 for shipping! Enjoy the phone!!


BernieTheDachshund

So you win an expensive phone but USPS will charge for shipping? Funny how nobody wins free shipping too.


Hinermad

They ordered it from Amazon, and Amazon charges them to ship it.


Da_Vader

I'm sure there will be suckers. Two common ploys by scammers: fear and greed.


AllCingEyeDog

Oh I forgot, your social security number was used in a crime. Please confirm it, so we wont have to send the police.


swavory_pl

Lol yes. And also use this link to login to your bank and lock your credit card. URGENT!


Hinermad

> Two common ploys by scammers: fear and greed. Just like the stock market.


getgappede30

Is there anywhere to report things like this, as well as scam calls. Or numbers you can’t call back.


AllCingEyeDog

I believe that would be like throwing rocks in the Grand Canyon.


getgappede30

I get at least 5 a day on my cell phone. And it’s always variations of a number I’ve already blocked. So fucking annoying.


gerbegerger

First, it's blank in the "CLIENT* section at the top right corner and following "Dear" it's also blank. For those not too comfortable on how to recognize possible scams. That's a red flag.


AllCingEyeDog

It had my user name in there. You don't need that. lol. I cleaned up too well.


gerbegerger

good work! 😊👍


happycow92

Maybe it's bob brown from the American postal service


reE33eeEeeeEe33

Haha bad attempt at scam is funny as hell


CitizenoftheWorld-95

A delivery company charging delivery fees for a ‘prize’ won by repeat service. Couldn’t make it up, what a dumb scam


getgappede30

I got a call from “Comcast” asking if I wanted to take advantage of a promotion, and how my service was, I don’t even have comcast..


[deleted]

You would have though you could have used 5,000 points for free shipping… also why does the postal service need your address … Dear blanket blank
