Telemarketer/Mailer scams.

For me, only scam I got was one trying to claim to be a legit response to my vehicles' warranty having just expired. Funny, I don't own a vehicle, and the message went on wanting me to confirm information and everything. I'm on the fucking opt-out list Canada got set up recently, I should have reported the number for trying to find a loop-hole through the proper use of the list....

I got a few of these over the past month, wasn't certain what it was until I asked others about it. See, I got a used car and it could've been valid, but the fact that they don't mention any sort of make, model, or even company name kind of leads them to be idiots.

In almost any major newspaper in the US (To my knowledge), you can find ads in the classifieds/employment section for a job with the US Post office. Theres usually a 1-800 number, and If you call it. Some arab sounding dude will ask for your social security number, full contact information, and a credit card along with security code for you to deposit one cent into their account to prove your identity. From there your contacted in a week about a job offer with the USPS they say lol.

I heard it was just people selling you a study sheet for the test. The post office makes you take a test before you can be employed full time there. It has nothing to do with the job and half of it is to just weed out people that can't speak any English.

We get a kick out of those ads at work because the post office is currently in a huge hiring freeze, so no tests are being taken anyway.
