A new press release from the Better Business Bureau serving Northern Nevada and Utah is explaining the details of a new mail scam that is targeting women from all over the country. Many of these ladies have reported checking their mail only to receive a mysterious card signed by somebody named Jenny B.

The piece of junk mail is intricately designed to look like a personal greeting card. Even the return address spot in the corner of the envelope appears legitimate. Although there is no actual return address, it is designed to look as if the sticker was ripped off and lost in the mail. Of course, this raises the curiosity of the recipient and they open up the envelope to see what is inside.

Once the envelope is opened, the recipient finds a strange gift card. From here, it is easy to see how they are tricked into sharing their personal information, such as credit card numbers, home addresses, and other personally-identifying data.

This elaborate scheme is tricking women everywhere. Together, we can spread the warning about the scam so that more people do not unwittingly fall for it.
