Subject: psychic mail fraud awareness

There's a mass mailing of a "psychic" named Catherine Wallace... the letter is very commercial looking but attempts to be personalized by having your name programmed into it, and yet, you're a number on the order form... LOL!! It's 19.95... she is a psychic for very prominent people, supposedly, and hopes that her helping me make 3 million dollars is incentive enough for me to send money... and um.... I have to respond within 48 hours.

Vulnerable people in the world will read this part of her letter
"I know how often you tend to be depressed or worried..." (duh.. could it BE more vague?! isn't that like a large portion of the population anyway???) and mistakenly think that she's miss diva of the psychic world.

Please recognize scams and spread the word - especially to those who might be vulnerable to it. I can't believe what lengths people have been going to, particularly in mass mailings, (i.e. wieght loss before and after pics that are SO POORLY touched up and stretched, complete with obvious head-borrowing!!) all this to try to make a dishonest dollar.

These frauds can't succeed if we are aware and try to put a stop to them. Hopefully this forum can help some.
