please, read what has been posted before you facepalm me. ITS SNAIL MAIL. now, I don't have a degree in compsci or anything, but I'm pretty sure there's no possible way to get an IP from snail mail.  not email. snail mail. United States Postal Service. once again, since the first two time you weren't able to deduce it. THERE IS NO ELECTRONIC MAIL involved.  capiche?

read my post, read the attached pic. THEN respond.

if I totally misinterpreted your response, and the facepalm was for the RP then my apologies.

besides, I'm not worried about trojans. I am behind a good firewall, and have the proper protection in addition to being on a mac, so: 72.189.189.197  that's my ip. bring it.

I live in Robina - well, actually, Robina Island to be precise. My part of town certainly isn't a shithole, however I will admit that certain areas of the suburb can be a bit shady. Compared to other parts of town like Palm Beach or Labrador, Robina is somewhat glamorous. The town centre is a five minute drive from my place.

Where do you hail from?

---

I'm from Redcliffe way, so I don't know if I can really talk about shithole suburbs

Only been to Robina 3 times in my life and all 3 times are associated with a really shitty memory, so I can't help but hate on it

just to add one more


wait wait wait, so what's OP? I thought OP was original post and RP was reply-post?



as for if you have to ask: I brought up the same exact point, in fact, I opened my post with that comment. but usually you can figure out what they are trying to scam you for.  in this incident, the only thing they asked for me to send them was my signature (kinda weird, but honestly, just having a person's signature and address, there's not much you can do), and a piece of paper that they supplied. they supplied the envelope even, just no stamp. so I repeat. where's the scam?

I'm not denying that I didn't win 5k. but I figure this letter has to serve some kind of purpose, either its part of a long con (maybe, doubtful), or something. IDK but it is clear that its not one of the nigerian prince scams. or the over-pay for a car scam, or any number of other scams I've seen or read about.
