Mail Scams

[sunflower71]

The house I live in use to belong to my partners grandmother, who is no longer with us.
Recently we have been receiving alot of junk mail for her, there more like scam mails, ie you have won a prize of up to �1mil pounds, these look offical letters and it annoys me that eldery people could fall for this.
I have kept the letters, should I send them to trading standards??
TIA

Or you could mail them back saying "not at this address"....that way they'd have to pay for the postage for the letter being returned to them.

a friend of mine saves all junk mail and then takes great delight in putting sender A's forms advertising into sender B's freepost envelope and vice versa.
But for this sort of mail perhaps a call to your local trading standards office may be wise.

boo, i don't think that costs anything, i think you would have to put it into the freepost envelope as red says.

Got to admit, when I read Red's reply, I liked that one better!
