First irl scam

I received my first IRL scam mail today, we’ve all gotten it for our e-mails but finding this in your mailbox was quite unsuspected:

Scam letter

Scam letter

Notice anything funny with whom the letter was addressed to? Heres a better picture of that:

Nice address

Nice address

Notice the nice title above my name? luls indeed! I chuckled when I first spotted that when I brought the mail indoors.

The actual letter inside looks very much like this one except for that the domain was different and as were the prices, They actually wanted to charge me €28 for one year renewal.

This letter looks very much like an invoice, but I had my doubts since the company that issued it is not the ones that provide my domain name and I am not happy about putting my credit card details on a bill from some random company. Turns out its actually a scam, it indeed looks like an invoice but in reality they are offering me the “service” of transferring my domain to their control and then make me pay stupid sums to renew it.

The reason for my address being generally ill-formed (lacking umlauts etc.) is because they took my contact details straight from my domain whois, where I have for instance put “luls” as my Organization name :-)

So there we have it, My very first IRL scam attempt. In a strange way, it’s a sort of refreshing change for once to get it in paper form rather than spamming my mail inbox. The only question that remains is what I should do with it, Do I write profanity all over it and return it to the given address or do I fill it with something? the sky’s the limit..
