Julie Haley, PO Box 58194, 1040 HD Amsterdam. She is offereing to sell her "seven secrets" for only £32 pounds instead of £448 !!!! Most of these scams are delivered to this address via Royal Mail's joint venture with TNT, Spring, which was set up to handle this stuff. They even have a manager at RM HQ whose job it is to manage the Spring operation, so making it easier for these crooks to target the UK. See www.sovereign-publications.com/atspring.htm for details. I have repeatedly asked RM to stop accepting scams from Holland, but as they make a lot of money from it, they won't stop without political pressure.

My 8 3/4 month deceased mother's also just received her junk. The mail address is the same as that for Emilie Paul (coding: EU32-RUF+). I notice that the 12 page leaflet is personalised on each sheet - they contain her mug^H^H^Hcustomer number, and the letter coding: KU05-RUG2.
As I collect more of these, I'm beginning to work out what the codings mean, but there always seems to be a twist when I think I've got something. I've received lots of RUGn codings recently:
KU04 RUG2 - 07/10 - Carmen KU05 RUG2 - 03/11 - Julie Haley LU40 RUG2 - 24/09 - (unknown - letter junked unopened) LU39 RUG2 - 24/10 - Michelle Alby EU47 RUG2 - 17/09 - (unknown) BU15 RUG1 - 18/10 - CELRIG
Others use different codings, eg one uses:
MLCmmyy/MLCUnnnn/mug_id
where mmyy is the month/year mailing. the nnnn is a four digit code and the mug_id is the same (customer number) as used by Carmen, etc. This, incidently, is Marie La Chance.

Confirmation of the connection between Royal Mail and the Dutch postal service. According to the site it is possible to find the costs of sending junkmail. Beachhutman, could I ask you to send for a quote, for the delivery of 50,000 C5 size envelopes, from France to the UK, presorted by postcode etc. I would like to know how much the scammers pay. If you vote whether the return of undeliverable mail is important or not, you'll see that most potential customers say it is not. So, what happens to all those mailshots that we send back marked Gone away - Return to sender? Also note that people in Australia are targeted by mail coming from Singapore. Now we know why.

I spoke to a 62 year old lady today over the phone whilst at work. She has been conned by the people behind the Anthony Carr Psychic scam, as I have just found out thanks to Astrocat.com and your site.
The thing that worried me was, not that she confessed to giving them alot of money, but that these people kept asking her for personal data; date of birth and mother's maiden name. This is when I told her to stop contact with them right away because this is sensitive data.
I am so annoyed with this, the lady is a hardworking, extremely good-natured person and so genuine, that she trusts too much.
Anyway - Kevin I don't know if you've picked up on The International Payment Office in the Netherlands just yet??
They don't really appear on Google too much, but there is a few links about scams etc. Now they have correspondance going to Unit 9 Trident Way, Southall.
I DEFINATELY won £9999 in a competetition (I never entered) and if I sent off a cheque to order some slimming tablets then it would speed up my claim. I decided to send it all back (without the cheque of course) and BINGO!!! I WON!!! £1.00 off any of their slimming tablets. I found it so funny that I am framing the letter confirming my winnings.
I think Royal Mail ought to be sued for breaking the law on handling junk mail, is this something that can be done?

Payment Facillitation Services has an address in Holland and also at 3, Millers Close, Staines. You are right, Royal Mail should be brought to book over the Spring consortium at 9, Trident Way. but how is it to done? If I can get journalists to follow it it up, and the public to write to their MP, we may get the scams halted.
1040 HD Amsterdam isn't a geographical location, it's the Post Office building where the PO Boxes are located.
You can show my website and message board to the lady that you mention, please print anything you think will help.

I too have fallen for these scams. They sound good when you are feeling low .It appears I am on the SCAMMER'S mailing list. Now I check out the person on the net. It is amusing to see how many of these letters are so similar.Names like maria duval, raylene van worth, monte farber, esmarelda, joan marie, rosanne shaw, neelie, all have admail addresses in variou towns and cities here in the uk.

I am new at this sort of communication but have found in the very short time I have read your account about the Astrology scam exposure stuff, I have been absolutely delighted to hear about your experience about Gallery Originals 3285 Cavendish Blvd., Suite 472 Montreal Canada. Only last week my elderly mother received one of the letters from this company. Addressed to her, it indicated that they had been trying to contact her by telephone on numerous occasions but had not been successful. ( I wondered how they managed to identify her in the first place and if it was correct how they knew her telephone number.) She should then telephone a free phone number 0800-917-4173 and, as she had been chosen to receive 2 of the top 5 awards going out in the British Isles promotion they would like to share her good fortune! I telephoned the freephone number and a male answered. He said that there was nobody in the Awards Department at that time but if I left him my telephone number, he would get somebody to call back within an hour. He asked me for the Awards Prize Claim number contained on the letter and I gave it to him. He again asked me for the telephone number to which I replied "in your letter you stated that you have tried the number on numerous occasions but were unsuccessful, and therefore decided to write with a hope of repy. He immediately became very abusive told me just to "forget it". He said his name was "Mr. Paterson "and hung up the phone. Pretty rude I thought, and phoned him back but this time got a female voice who was obviously being coached and who said that Mr. Paterson said just to forget it. I am delighted to have found an answer to my suspicions on this Website, and in particular from Denise. Surely the 0800 people can do something about this sort of thing? - Thank You very much!

Hi to everyone. I am new to all of this. I received a letter in the mail from a Dr. Ellen Vale, psychic and miracle maker. I have checked all over the internet to find some information on this person. Among the things revealed in this solicitaion is that a tragedy will befall me if I do not pay her to take off the "malicious ritualistic spell" that has been placed on me. She gives a date. If anyone can tell me anything about this person I would be very thankful.
Missval

Dear missval, Do you have the address that this cruel hoax is using to scare innocent victims? The name is new to me, but it is quick and simple for the crooks to set up a new campaign. The 'tragedy' threat has been used many times before. Please forward the mailing to your local consumer protection organisation. If you are in the USA, there is a form to use, at the end of the Year 2004 page on my website. www.astrocat.exactpages.com

Hello!
Once I saw a strip of comics that has some bearing to the nature of the scam business discussed here. The strip mentioned five characteristics. I have the opinion that they pass tight like a good suit on the ads and offers and perhaps in some measure too, on the people who run the business and compose those ads and offers. The five characteristics are:
1. the lack of empathy 2. manipulating behaviour 3. self-centeredness 4. slippery tongue 5. exploiting way of life
As it happened, in that strip of comics these qualities described a psychopath!

Kevin I have been receiving emails from Sara Freda for about 6 months now. If you want to have a look at one of the web pages I get sent then here it is: www.sara-freder.com/code15/index.asp?CClient=04211/5142421It is addressed to me and is on the same bent as Maria Duval. I have not sent this person any money, but as I explained in my other post, I did send $320NZ to her and managed to get $160 NZ back, but have not received any further monies. I have thought about going to my bank and requesting information regarding the cheques and where they came from, but have not done anything yet. The refund cheques were New Zealand, Bankof New Zealand cheques and they didn't bounce, but then again, none of what Duval predicted came true either. you might be able to make something out of the Sara Freda web site or I might use my tacking software and see where that takes me. Regards Mike Chappell
