Immuderm Scam Mail
Thursday, December 29, 2005
So I got this piece of mail today - at home and at work.

Immuderm Scam Mail


It was in a hand-written envelope with no return address. There was a hand-written note on the newspaper ad inside the envelope as well. I felt violated. This blog entry describes it very well and it was written in June! It just seems wrong somehow. I can deal with my name and address in databases, but for someone to hand write an envelope and a note to me in person gives me the heebie-jeebies.

    Suz,

    I suspect you mean that getting a hand written note delivered to your home and place of work from an unknown solicitor who doesn't know you from a hole in the wall gives you the heebie jeebies. Because I'm pretty sure if I came to your workplace and delivered a note to you, you'd be happy.

    Still, I'm making light of something that *is* weird. I wonder why the solicitor didn't consider that this would make you, or anybody, immediately put off.

    And. You have beautiful skin.

    I suppose I was missing those few words - someone I don't know to hand write...

    And I'd be really happy to receive a hand written note from any of my friends.

    I received the same publicity in June and again today. It litteraly freaked me out since I was victim of harrassment several years ago. I thought it was starting all over. In my case, my work directly involves exporting goods to Russia. Freaky! Thanks to the note posted on your web site I now know this is only a poor thought-out marketing strategy and that I have nothing serious to worry about. Thank you!

    That's actually why I posted it. I needed to let people know that it wasn't personal in anyway. I'm glad it worked.

    Hi All

    Just to say I received one of these today, all the way form Santa Ana to my home in the East coast of the UK! I don't know anybody in the USA, so guessed it must be a scam of some sort - and got the link to this page when I searched for 'Immuderm scam'!
    Thanks to Suz & the other entries on this web page for confirming my fears. Shame really though - I could really do with a miracle cream! Sarah

    I got one of these today. I know some people in California, so was very excited to have hand written mail - a rare occurrence these days. I realised it was a scam when I saw that the price was in pounds and the closing prices on the back also had "advertisment" at the top of the page. Then I found this page... Quite clever, if a little nuts! Still, I actually thought it was quite funny, because for a minute I genuinely thought a friend of mine was telling me I had bad wrinkles!!
