I also received one today March the 20th, and I agree and what a great idea to stuff it with toilet paper and send it back, the will have to pay the return postage. Might stop them from doing this.
thanks for all the info

I too received the “OFFICIAL GRAND SLAM WINNER” letter. They want $10.00 in order to “claim your GRAND SLAM number allocation”. I sent the letter back using the enclosed reply paid envelope. And I included not the requested fee, but a single sheet of used toilet paper.

I just got one of those scam letters too, googled and found you. I would like to put something clever in the envelope like a bill for wasting my time to be paid immediately. Postage is paid so I’d like to send them something…any dieas out there?

With reference to Jait’s concern, You must have recently filled out a survey etc. on the net. Try misspelling your name slightly eg.Jate. see how long it takes for mail to show up for ” Jate”

funny stuff.

The one I received told me to send $10 to claim my “number alloction”–so…. ten dollars to get a number. They send me a number, no money, and they’ve met their obligations…

Of course, the big tip off for me is the fact that I don’t gamble. I’m more interested in knowing how they got my name and address.

Haplin Data Services is one of the hundreds of attempts made on my partner’s time and money since 1997. People must be educated, that’s why I set up my website and message board.

I got one of those “Grand Slam Winner” notifications in the mail today, which is how I found you. I was researching it online to see how big a scam it really was….glad to see I’m not the only one to get the mail! I feel sorry for seniors, who likely believe it, and send their money. Would be interesting to know just how much these scumbags make off people around the world.

I’m good to get those things at least every other month. It’s some idiot saying I won a sweeps, or a vacation in Maui, or a car or whatever, and all they need is a ‘processing fee’ and I’m on my way. Amazing.
