Just received a letter from 'The Police'.
• It's been sent to my work address.
• It's been addressed to my casual shortened name, not my full name.
• It's to say that a £5.00 note has been found and it's mine.
• All I need to do is bring ID to a police station 25 miles away.
I'm guessing the phone number on it is a premium number and they'll want bank details if you call! 🙂
And how on earth can they say a found £5.00 note is mine!
Write back to the address on the letter and tell them to feel free to put in in the benevolent fund pot 🙂
You might want to think about where they got your details from online?
Sounds more like a prank than a scam!

LinkedIn....
Find an alternative number for the named police station, and call them...?
When I was a kid I found a wallet with £5 in it. Handed it into the police and 6 months later, unclaimed, they gave it back to me!
Yes that's correct. Please DM me credit card details.
Cheers,
The Police.
Sounds like a pile of nonsense. The police would name you by your full name, not something casual.
I recently lost a fiver,did the police say where it was found?
Was it a message in a bottle?
Are you suggesting it's a sting operation?
Ha!
ouch and ouch, again!
Is it addressed to The Muff?
When did you mislay it? A year ago?
It’s been addressed to my casual shortened name, not my full name.
Muffman?
Edit: Sorry, daft pun already made.

Everyone knows he lives in Drury lane
Letsby Avenue...
I'm in charge of technical support for the internet, and we've been having a lot of scams like this come up recently. If you can PM me your PayPal/bank logins I will look into this for you and get it all cleared up.
Was hoping it was from that obscure New Wave band……………
Letsby Avenue…
Best Highways Department joke ever.
that's quite superb
Best Highways Department joke ever
That is outstanding, once you see where the road leads…
once you see where the road leads…
Well yeah, that’s the point of the joke.
1) Would the police write to me at work?
2) Would the police know the £5 was mine?
3) Would they contact me for £5?
4) Is it worth me driving 50 miles for £5?
None of those answers are yes.
My Mum got caught in Tesco by one of the random checks after self service picked up that she hadn't scanned all of her items. Of course she claimed it was a mistake and she was pretty embarrassed.
I helpfully mocked up a letter from the local police claiming she was now on a watch list, they had shared her details with all of the other local shops and she needed to be on best behaviour. Of course the police station address on the letter was Letsby Avenue.
She fell for it hook line and sinker, I left it about a month before I fessed up. She still hasn't forgiven me, this was about 10 years or so ago.
^^ lol, Evil but very good, very good.

I'm not surprised you monster. 😮
2) Would the police know the £5 was mine?
You fool!
They have detectives. It is their job to know.
Good way of getting you out of the house for an hour.
I'm gutted to see that Letsby Avenue is actually signed as Europa Link!
Need to zoom in a bit more.
