E-Mail Scams, Part VI: Miscellaneous Scams
A couple of readers told me about some other unusual scams:
In follow up to your Sunday piece – my wife got a piece of mail from a company called RJM Acquisitions Funding Inc. claiming that she owed a past due bill to Fingerhut for a past due bill. We get this solicitation once or twice a year and it is a known fraud. We have never ordered anything from Fingerhut let alone had a charge account with them. I checked it out last time and this RJM Acquisitions Funding is a known fraud in NY State. I have enclosed a PDF of the letter.
i have received a different kind of scam , it seems it is targetting people selling there cars by owner. i first received an SMS inquiring about my car , and it includes his email address to reply , then he sent me an email with about 15 questions about my car , and it seems he wants to email me a check more than the price of my car , in order that i will give him my car and the difference in cash .
