Mail Scams

There is a piece this morning on the BBC about mail scams.

Since moving, I’ve been receiving the most amazing amount of junk through my letter box. A lot is flyers for things like takeaways and mini-cabs, neither of which I use.  But some looks like mail scams, so it goes straight back in the conveniently placed pillar box opposite marked “Return to Sender”.  As the house was tenanted before I bought it, there has also been a few letters, to those tenants, who might have done a runner.

I just wonder though, if all of the scam mail was sent back marked for return, the government and the Royal Mail, might take a bit more concerted action, against the countries from where it comes.
