Dodgy Finance Scheme Antics

I got this letter today from some clown claiming to be "Financial Investigations Pty LTD", claiming I have $10,000 in 'missplaced funds' floating around in some bank acount, and for $999 they will tell me where it is and how to collect it. My old man is in the finance game, he warned me there are some clowns around trying schemes. You can tell by the language in this letter that it is a fucking load of shit.

I want to ring them up and pretending I'm interested, but cautious, and make them jump through hoops and do all kinds of random shit for a laugh. Any ideas?

If they have a FREEPOST address (or equivalent) send them something reaaaallly heavy. It will cos them loads.

Like 20 bags of rotting potatoes or something.

Classic trick from Mark Thomas!

This website is quite funny. It has people responding to fraudulent e-mails with made up stories, making the fraudsters do ridiculous stuff.
