LOL.

Are there actually people out there that do anything with these other than pitch 'em in the trash? What, did you just start receiving mail, or something?

Dude I wouldn't put my credit card number in a genuine site (I don't have a card for that matter). So Hell will freeze over when I decide to get a card and put the numbers in some (suspicious or not) papers I get in the mail or anywhere else.

@ XGameOnX, you are one lucky & blessed to receive this lottery ticket. You obviously
have good karma to get your hands on what I would call short of a miracle. It would be
very generous of you to share this enormous amount of wealth around. I'm hurting in these
tough economic times. Could you please share a tiny portion of your winning with me.

Thank you, here's my info.

There's nothing really that hard to create in that form letter. Barcodes fonts are easily downloadable off the internet and I have created some for work purposes that accurately work with a Symbol gun. International telephone numbers also are easy to create and staff with an answering machine. With voip, I can create a phone number with a zip code anywhere in the US within minutes, and I am sure the scammers are using something like that internationally where they don't even need to reside in the location the number is pointing to.

This isn't high tech, it's just good marketing in the hopes that somebody will fall for this. Look at all the legitamate (sp?) junk mailings that are offering mortgages and all that that look like "official" mailings to get your attention.
