Post card scam - Fly Tyer magazine

[foxxtrot]

Not sure if others have seen this, but I received a post card in the mail. Scam stating the account has a balance as Fly Tyer cannot commence. Tried to get info and CC# to credit my account. After contacting Fly Tyer direct and checking my account is up to date until 2011 and sending them the details about the postcard they confirmed it was a scam.

Thanks for the heads up. Since you received this through the mail, you could report this here:

The FBI and DoJ also have a reporting form if this was received through the internet or was an attempt to access your account info.

Apparently this same "company" has been doing this a lot. Here's a post from a Mac computer mag:

I know it's a pain, but if you can report this to the proper authorities may be they can shut these guys down and or save someone else from getting ripped off. Good luck!
