844-809-7605

I received a letter postmarked April 2014 (no day) with a simple letterhead stating "US Airlines" supposendly by Coreen Hayes, Vice President.  The signature sure doesn't look like Coreen is the first name because there's a crossed letter "t" in it.  Basically, the signature is undecipherable.

I was told to respond to the letter by 2014 Apr 28; and, I received the letter on 2014 Apr 26.  In the letter, the phone number to call was listed as:  1-844-809-7605.  Different phone number, same bogus pitch for 2 free roundtrip airline tickets worth $1,450.  Same zip code, 73125, Oklahoma City, OK.

The way these scams work, funds are solicited—for whatever reason—before any supposed tickets can be issued.  The scammers then take the funds, open an account, deposit the funds, withdraw the funds, close the account.  All of this is done in a very short period of time to stay ahead of the authorities.

I did som non-legal clerical work for an attorney awhile back which involved the sale of non-existant copy paper by scammers from a boiler room (small space, lots of telephones) to—this is no exageration—a myriad number of legitimate businesses including police agencies, and a couple of State Department of Prisons, as well as other governmental agencies.

Needless to say, the scam lasted too long, the scammers got caught, and were placed in a federal lock-up awaiting trial.

Time is a scammer's enemy.  Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, that's because it's not true!!

Whee can we send this scam letter--I got one, too.
