Got one of these in today's post. Looked proper hand written envelope with real stamp and post-it note, with torn out bit of newspaper. And who hasn't got a mate who could sign him/herself 'J'? Have been puzzling over the mysterious J all day having ruled out a couple of likely candidates. Took me a bottle of wine to realise it was a marketing scam.

I got the same, it didn't take me so long since the only J I could think of is my eldest son who wouldn't ever post to me and I know his handwriting.Originally posted by k2p2 View Post
It's a novel approach, but it didn't stop either of us from binning it so it's still junk

One of the responses:
Yes this duped me completely. I actually signed up and gave my credit card details which I’m now seriously regretting!
Sounds like a funny reply, but there's more...
If you type “chris cardell scam” into Google you will find a lot of other websites that have reported the same thing.
It’s a shame because it all sounded quite good, until I realised I had been tricked. I now don’t trust him one bit.
Either a very clever double bluffer of a joke or they really did get conned.

that's a good effort. I had a similar thing a few months ago but it was much cruder (i.e. much less crude if you catch my drift).
quick tip though: proper handwriting will leave pressure tracks or thickness variations.Comment

Does The Times really use Arial for the datelines on the internal pages of its print edition? Helvetica I might understand, but Arial???
That was the most obvious point for me (along with the fact that they haven't used Times New Roman since the Sixties), but YMMV.Comment

I thought "Times New Roman" was a sort of True Type imposter........Comment
