Scam mail (postal) is a solicitation that promises you some reward but you have to put up money first, or give out your financial information. The scammers will leave you on the hook using fake checks, phony money orders, or other get-rich-quick schemes. Most of them are highly illegal but done from countries with lax enforcement.

A scam e-mail is a gift of software that is actually malware, that will either steal information from your computer or plant other damaging programs on it.

Scam mail refers to fraudulent or deceptive letters, emails, or other forms of communication sent in order to defraud or fool individuals into providing personal information, money, or other valuables. These mailings often resemble official communication from legitimate individuals, organizations, or institutions but are actually attempts to deceive and exploit recipients. It is important to be cautious and skeptical of any unsolicited mail or requests for personal information.
