Now scammers are sending letters

[AprilSun]

I heard about this on the news yesterday and I thought, "What will they think of next???" It goes like this:

“I know you have cheated on your wife.” The letters demand that recipients pay $2,000, or friends and family members will be sent evidence of the infidelity.
One man knew immediately the threat was phony.
“I thought ‘who is this mystery wife that I don’t have?!” This must be a scam. I don’t have a wife. Because if you find someone that does have a wife, and they did cheat, most likely I think they’re gonna pay,” the man said.
Police have received several reports from people in central Virginia who received the letter.
Law enforcement agencies in nearby counties posted warnings to their Facebook pages, instructing residents not to send any money should they receive a letter like this."

How can any man, even if he is cheating on his wife, send money to someone he doesn't know?
I guess there are suckers everywhere.

I guess there are suckers everywhere.

Because, to quote P.T. Barnum: "There's a sucker born every minute."

I hope I get a letter like that, because no evidence exists, and they will be embarrassed by what I will say next. It will be nice, but it will throw them for a loop.
