“Practicing Clairvoyant
“Courage, First_Name
you will not have long to wait before you pocket at least
$255,000 - since your luck should change on
June 24th next!
# 1 “Yes First_Name, what is
in store for you is literally exceptional! And I can now tell you that on June 24th next,
YOU at Your_City, you will be full of JOY!!!
“In fact, it’s not every day you can hope to pocket such a win! Just imagine: $255,000 all for you. And you will surely agree, the arrival of such a substantial sum will certainly be one of the best things that could ever happen to you. So be vigilant and watch out for this great victory and gain your revenge on life and your financial difficulties. You don’t have long to wait!
Please remember, the quotations above and below are from the SCAM letter of “Yvanna” _not_ by mailscamalert.com.
# 2 “And it is for this very
reason I am writing to you today, First_Name. For under no circumstances can I allow this huge
sum to slip through your fingers. Considering how hard your current life is, I believe you
would not say no to a helping hand, to ensure $255,000 falls into your waiting hands.
“Yes, of course First_Name. I want to accomplish for you what no one else has ever managed: I want to make you rich. For I can tell you, the win of $255,000 is only the begining[sic] and there will certainly be followed by many other wins! Probably even bigger.
“WHAT ALLOWS ME TO TELL YOU THIS?
# 3 “In just a few moments, I
will explain and you will have proof that you can be in possession of this first huge sum from
June 24th next. For the moment, just think for a few minutes about this enormous sum. What
would you do with all that money? I would advise you to start thinking about it now because
when you do win the money, you must make good use of it. The chance to win a great deal of
money does not come along all that often. It’s better to be prepared.
# 4 “First_Name, do you have
debts you would like to pay off? Do you want to move [to a new]
house and enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle than your current situation allows? Between us,
$255,000 should allow you to accomplish a lot of things. So think about it. For one fact is
certain: in a few days, a huge cheque will be in your hands!
# 5 “Now, let us examine together
why this letter could mark the final end to all your money problems. For you do have serious
money problems - or am I wrong? There’s no shame in having financial problems, the only
shame would be to miss out on $255,000. For this reason you must listen to my advice
carefully.
# 6 “I have been practising as a
Clairvoyant for many years and I believe I have a unique gift: that of “seeing”
the winning numbers in advance for the Lotto, horse racing or in the casino, according to the
numerological co-ordinates of the potential winner. In fact, I am a medium and according to my
genealogical tree there is evidence that the great clairvoyant Nostradamus was one of my
ancestors.
“Whatever the case, for many generations there has always been a clairvoyant in our family. But when people learn there is a descendant of Nostradamus who is a clairvoyant, you can be certain the Media will do everything in its power to discredit that person.
# 7 “For this reason, a few years
ago, I demonstrated my unique gift before the cameras. For me it was the start of many
problems. Thousands and thousands of people tried to contact me every day so I could help them.
For this reason I decided to become oblivious[sic] and help only those people who
Destiny put on my pathway through life, as is the case for you today
“So, in recent years, I have made a fortune for 169 people. These men and women all won hundreds of thousands of Dollars[sic]. Some even won the jackpot comprising several millions! I cannot force you to believe me, but all I can say is it happened. Anyway, what point would there be in me telling lies? By writing to you I am only following my intuition which tells me you truly need money to resolve your financial problems and that you can pocket the magnificent sum Destiny has placed on your pathway.
“First_Name, didn’t you say only yesterday or this even this morning: “Oh, if I could win some money”. Yes, if you could win, surely that would be the end of your problems? Listen, I can’t resist the temptation of telling you what someone wrote to me two months ago, who like you, seemed to be favoured by Providence and had the privilege of my assistance:
“‘Yvanna, I had never won more than $75 in my life on the Lotto. For someone like me who works for a few dollars an hour, there is no hope of experiencing a wonderful life without a great stroke of luck. You gave me that stroke of luck because I have just won more than $200,000! I wanted you to be the first person to know. What can I say or what can I do to thank you because you have changed my life and that of my family. Thank you! A thousand thank you[sic]!’
“This letter was sent to me by a father aged forty-five who wanted to remain anonymous and I can understand why. You do not know how far people will go when they learn someone has won $200,000 to say nothing of the jealousy, envy and wickedness such a win arouses. Believe me, you should be extremely discreet once you too are in possession of a great deal of money.
“Although I cannot guarantee that you will win the jackpot, I do believe you can win more than $233,000 before 3 weeks go by! For the moment let us restrict our discussion to the $255,000.

Back to top“WHY S255,000 AND WHY JUNE 24TH NEXT?
“When I became aware of your name, and for me that was a sign of Providence, I immediately entered into a mediumnic[sic] trance. My gift does not work for everyone. Strangely, it only seems to work for those who are courageous, honest and generous. Yes, it appears my gift is only effective if I use it on behalf of people who are kind-hearted and prepared to share the little that they have with others.
“First_Name, I am sure this describes you? I am convinced of it. I had a “vision” of these numbers, the date and this sum: $255,000. My “vision” was prolonged and I saw other numbers, other dates and other wins. For this reason I am writing to you. To disclose the revelations that could finally allow you to enjoy the life you deserve.
# 8 “Between you and me,
First_Name, surely you would like more comfort in your life? Surely you would like to stop
worrying about tomorrow? Finally, surely it’s time you had some financial security? Why
should it always be other people who are living a wonderful life and not you?
“Between us, I am sure you hope for many things. I believe in Providence and Providence made me aware of your situation. Otherwise, how can you explain the fact you are receiving this letter? By random fate? Random fate does not exist. My conviction is this intervention by Providence is the answer to your prayers, to your burning desire to experience a much better life.
“First_Name, I know what you are saying to yourself: “It would be wonderful but how can I believe all this will ever happen?” Of course, I could send you all the letters from all those people I have helped become rich over the years - but would that convince you that you too can become rich?
“One fact is certain: I am not making any of this up and everything I say in this letter is the strict truth. That’s how it is. So the only way for you to realise how it could happen for you is to follow my advice:
“Just before June 24th next, if you desire, you will receive a very special envelope. in this envelope will be the secret instructions, your winning numbers and other dates for wins and a free gift I want to send you.
“All you need do is to follow my secret instructions and on June 24th next according to the “vision” I had, you should win your first $255,000. Then repeat the instructions each time you enter one of many winning periods I have “foreseen” for you.
“In fact, I don’t want to reveal too much about these wins because it could literally make you dizzy. As you now know, I am saying that I have made the fortune of 169 people, and I don’t know why the same thing should not happen for you. Once again, I am not saying you will win the jackpot. On the other hand, I consider that with several wins of tens of thousands of Dollars, the words “small fortune” can justifiably be used. And in any event, nothing indicates you will not win the jackpot.
Please remember, the quotations above and below are from the SCAM letter of “Yvanna” _not_ by mailscamalert.com.
# 9 “I propose that you verify
everything yourself by making a wise decision. What is this decision? It consists in completing
the “Form for a Fortune” attached to this letter and returning it to me as rapidly
as possible. It is essential that you receive my instructions and your winning numbers very
quickly, because the June 24th is approaching at great speed.
# 10 &
# 11 “All I am asking for
these predictions is a small contribution of $53 which I undertake to refund immediately if you
do not win $255,000. This is my formal guarantee.
“First_Name, you should know the reason I am asking you for this contribution is only to be sure you will do what I tell you. On this subject, let me explain why.
“A few years ago, I contacted people like you who Providence had placed on my pathway through life. I sent them all my revelations free of charge - but they did nothing with them. This did not happen with the 169 people I contacted subsequently. By returning their “Form for Fortune” they knew they were risking nothing, and for me, it was a guarantee that they would actually follow my instructions. The proof is they all won! And I am sure the same will apply to you.
“What’s more, as I said, you are risking absolutely nothing by replying. The only risk is missing out on the chance of a lifetime if you don’t react immediately. Between you and me First_Name, surely you want this money? Yes, it would be the end of a nightmare and the start of a dream life. For this reason I think you should reply right now.
“First_Name, $255,000 could change your life in a way you cannot yet imagine. Just think, with this sum in your bank account, you would be much happier than you are at the present moment. Surely that’s a good enough reason to act and reply to me? I think it is.
“In addition, I want to offer you a wonderful gift: generally the people Providence leads me to contact are not very lucky. But their luck soon changes after I send them the revelations of my “visions” and also, my great personal secret of luck. This secret is unique because has been handed down from generation to generation in my family.
“Now First_Name, you must decide on your own future. Have you had enough of “holding the devil by the tail” and do you want a better life? Your decision should be easy to make. So, I am waiting for your rapid response.
“Ali my wishes for your imminent wealth.
“PS: First_Name, one last very important thing. As I did for the other 169 people I made rich, I have attached a Cheque for an Advance Payment of your fortune. In fact, I am so convinced you will win I know a “small” advance will not do any harm. So, write your first name and surname in the place indicated on the cheque and return it to me with your “Form for Fortune” and your contribution to my costs. I will get if signed before you win, in addition, $255,000 already in store for you. So, act now and reply quickly.

“To be completed exclusively by:
Mrs First_Name Last_Name
“PLEASE RETURN TO YVANNA - C/O KANDELA - P.O BOX 257 - 3760 AG SOEST - HOLLAND
“
YES,
dear Yvanna, you are right. I need no longer endure this difficult life.
There’s no reason why I should not enjoy my share of happiness. So, it
is with a heart full of joy I agree to win all that money in store for me.
“ So,
please send me as a matter if urgency as soon as you receive my Form for a
Fortune, your secret instructions as well as my winning numbers so that on
June 24th next I can enjoy my first win. You will also inform me of the other
winning times you have seen for me.
“ In
order to win this money, I undertake to respect the secret instructions you
will send me.
“ Since
you guarantee the refund of my contribution of $60 ($53 + $7 postage)
which I am agreeing to send you as proof of my sincere desire to win this sum,
here is my payment by:

“If during the 90 days following receipt of your
package you are not fully satisfied, on simple request I undertake
unconditionally to refund your entire payment,

neutralised.”
“The image is too big to display. It purports to show a cheque for a “Probable amount” of $ 25,500, 10% of the amount mentioned several times in the letter.”
Please remember, the quotations above are from the SCAM letter of “Yvanna” _not_ by mailscamalert.com.
# 1 Try to remember that these letters are
no more personal than any other ‘junk’ mail that comes to your mailbox. The
SCAMmers also use the bulk mailing rate and system, that’s why there is no stamp on the
envelope; only a printed ‘stamp’ or the imprint showing their bulk-rate license.
Just like those other ‘junk’ letters, these SCAMmers purchase computer files that
contain your first and last names, your street address, and your city, state and zip code. All
these items are separate pieces of information in that mailing list. That’s why they can
put your name anywhere they want in the letter. They can also put anything else from that file
anywhere they want, that’s how this SCAMmer put your city in that first paragraph. Just
ask any of your friends or family who have used a word processor’s “merging”
function.
(return to # 1 Red Flag above)
# 2 First, this letter is not
“written” in the sense that someone sat down and typed it. It is a
“printed” letter. You can easily see that even the ‘signature’ is not
written with any kind of pen. It is nothing more than an image, a picture. It is useless as any
kind of ‘signature’. That’s just one more reason the “guarantee”
is also useless.
# 3 Unfortunately, no proof is ever
offered, but this ‘psychic’ diverts our attention by reminding us of the $250,000
dollars she claims we are about to win. That’s the important thing, right? It’s
certainly easier than try to prove a fake claim. So instead of proof, we are asked to think
about what we will do with that money. After all, we don’t want to spend it unwisely.
I would simply remind you of the “Don’t count your chickens before they
hatch” saying. Before you consider how you will spend money you don’t have, think
about the money this SCAMmer is going to ask you to give her. That’s why
the “proof” you are not getting is important.
(return to # 3 Red Flag above)
# 4 Why does she ask “do you have
debts you would like to pay off”? She claims to know so much about us and then has to ask
such a basic question? I think the answer is obvious; as I said before, this is absolutely
not any kind of ‘personal’ letter. This SCAMmer has no more idea of our
financial, personal or health condition than the “Man in the Moon”! We are then
asked, again, to think about getting the $250,000. The “Yvanna” wants to keep us
diverted from considering the likelihood that this letter is nothing but a SCAM!
(return to # 4 Red Flag above)
# 5 Now that we are thinking about that
$250,000, we are told one of the most important needs of every SCAM; we must absolutely
trust the SCAMmer! We are never to question what we are told. Most SCAMmers will even tell
us to not even discuss the letter with friends or family. In other words, do not even think
about the claims made or the promises offered; just trust this total stranger who has already
made it clear that she has no idea what our problems might be.
(return to # 5 Red Flag above)
# 6 Here is another chance for this
so-called ‘psychic’, “Yvanna”, to offer some ‘proof’,
marginal as it would be, that she is even partially believable. All she has to do is show us
that ‘family tree’. Once again, however, she ignores an opportunity to help us,
instead she just tries to convince us with mere words and unverifiable claims.
(return to # 6 Red Flag above)
# 7 She claims to have been “on
camera”. Here I expected to see a link to the program’s web site or a link to a
YouTube video or at least the name of the program. However, we are told nothing except she felt
discredited by the Media. It would have been nice to also compare the picture we are shown
with the ‘real’ “Yvanna”. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons we
are not presented with any information... assuming there was any truth to her claim, in the
first place.
(return to # 7 Red Flag above)
# 8 Do you really believe everyone else is
“living a wonderful life”? If you do, you are going to need more than
“Yvanna’s” help! I think she is simply trying to convince us that
she knows how we feel. Of course, we have already seen that she simply has no real idea; she
just assumes we are like she is—only concerned about her own wants and desires.
(return to # 8 Red Flag above)
# 9 We finally get the almost standard SCAM
offering of “Act-before-thinking-or-checking”. Your immediate response is needed.
Any delay can only cause fear and trepidation in the heart of the SCAMmer! It means you may be
consulting with trusted friends and/or family about the SCAM attempt! That means it is much
more likely that you will recognize the SCAM for what it really is; an attempt to take your
money for no useful purpose!
(return to # 9 Red Flag above)
# 10 This SCAMmer waits almost until the
end of the letter to make the standard “Send me some money” plea. Every SCAM does
it, eventually, but this is one of the most expensive fees I have seen! It is double what most
of the other SCAMs have demanded. Of course, any fee, at all, proves that these SCAMmers are
more concerned about ‘making a living’, even if it is fraudulent, than helping us.
(return to # 10 Red Flag above)
# 11 Yvanna says she will
“undertake” to refund payments. “Undertake” doesn’t require the
completion of a task, only the initiation of it. It’s basically no guarantee at all. As
I’ve mentioned in several other SCAMs on this site, I have never, ever heard of anyone
getting a refund from any of these SCAMs. That’s why I continue to say that these
‘guarantees’ are completely worthless. Most people can’t even get these
SCAMmers to respond to the request for a refund request, much less actually re-pay any monies
they took!
(return to # 11 Red Flag above)
# 12 What kind of ‘clairvoyant’
would have to ask you for your birthdate? Does that mean she might be less than what she claims
to be? It probably just means that the mailing address list she bought didn’t include
that information; those types of lists cast more!
