419 Mail via regular postal service

Do you think not using e-mail protects you from being the target of a 419 scam?


Think again
- this kind of criminal activity existed well before the Internet did, and email just happens to be a lot cheaper than buying stamps.
The old-school way of advance fee fraud is still alive and well, as you can see from this story in Naked Security: http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/05/30/a-419-scam-via-snail-mail/
