“Chief Astrologer, ASTRO-NUMERIC RESEARCH
# 1 “I
HOPE YOU CAN KEEP A SECRET!
“Because what you are about to read must be kept in strict confidence October 28.
“Let me tell you why.
“This letter is PRIVATE and is not to be shown to ANYONE, not even your closest friends or relatives until you have received the urgent message that I have waiting for you on my desk!”
“Dear friend,
# 2 “You are at the starting point of a fantastic journey: from
the moment you open your eyes on October 28, you will start to enjoy a different life. A HUGE
improvement in your financial situation is about to happen! Maybe as soon as seven days after
you receive the information I have waiting for you on my desk!
“I beg you not to tell anyone about this letter. I do not want to disturb the intricate flow of events that may be about to occur in your life. As soon as you finish reading this letter.
# 3 “YOU HAVE NO
IDEA HOW LUCKY YOU ARE that I saw your name and birthdate on a list in my office. Your
name practically flew off the sheet. After 32 years in this astrological business, I know when
the Stars have big events coming up for certain LUCKY people - and your birthdate is in this
group!
“A few weeks ago, I cast the astrological charts for those special birthdates. You are going to love what I found out!”
Back to top“But I am getting ahead of myself. I am called J.B. Hazlett. I am the Chief Astrologer for ASTRO-NUMERIC RESEARCH. And I’m proud to say, a real good one at that. Have been for over thirty years.
Please remember, the quotations above and below are from the SCAM letter of “J. B. Hazlettt” _not_ by mailscamalert.com.
“And a good astrologer like myself knows that when the Stars make certain powerful aspects, wise people listen. And the really wise ones take advantage!
# 4 “But someone has to tell you.
And that is why I am rushing this letter to you.
“But I beg of you - TELL NO ONE!
“On the chart that fits your birthdate, there is a warning. Someone close to you, someone that you think is a very good friend, is not to be trusted when it comes to money! If that person finds out about this, you could lose out completely!”
“So please, keep this letter and the information that I want to send to you “under your hat!” Tell no one until I say!”
“It is starting to rain again as I write this letter to you. I can see it hitting the window in front of my desk. Don’t you just love it when it rains and you don’t have to go outside? It makes you feel cozy and happy.
“Well, my friend,that is how you are going to feel in a few short weeks! And I am so happy for you.
“After I cast the astrological charts, I closed my eyes for a moment. I saw a room filled with people. There is laughing and happy conversation. I smell food cooking in another room. In the middle of all these people dressed in their best ...someone is standing, holding up a small piece of paper as if it were tremendously valuable. And that person is YOU.. I can feel it! It fits what your astrological chart tell me!
“That is why I am so happy for you!
“Trust me, this is more than a dream...
# 5 “But I am not trying to
convince you of anything. Either you believe me... or you don’t. All I am trying to
do is to help you! I don’t want this GOOD FORTUNE to pass you by!”

Back to top“And there is very little time left ...
“October 28 is almost here!
“What was it your chart told me? It said that you are coming into a special period - a time when your life can change dramatically. Some very special good luck is coming your way!
“This luck will extend into every area of your life. Each day will be new, exciting, and rewarding. Even your chance of winning a sporting event or other game of chance will become 10 to 30 times GREATER than right now. What a WONDERFUL event!

“NOW PLEASE LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY: Happier times with your loved ones, better health, a BIG IMPROVEMENT in your financial situation all this and more will be coming back into your life in a very BIG way...
“We Must Act Now to Prepare for October 28.”
“It was destiny that brought us together. If I had not seen your name and birthdate, you would never have known about this wonderful event. The happiness and joy that it can bring for you would have passed you by. How sad that would have been!”
“If you ignore this letter, you will not only be hurting me and your family but you will also miss a chance to live the rest of your life emotionally and financially secure.
“But I don’t want to push you into anything. You have to be as involved as I am, my dear friend. Otherwise, what is the point?”

Please remember, the quotations above are from the SCAM letter of “J. B. Hazlett” _not_ by mailscamalert.com.
# 1 It is vitally important to prevent the
reader from getting any help from or discussing the letter with anyone. The reader must accept
advice only from a total stranger claiming to be an “astrologer/author.” And to
further re-enforce the secrecy he has added the “CONFIDENTIAL” stamp! So, it must
be a real secret, right? This is nothing more than the standard SCAM technique that tries to
prevent the reader from getting to the truth. The only thing secret about this SCAM is how the
author got your name and address.
(return to # 1 Red Flag above)
# 2 Here is one of the first steps
in all SCAM letters: Promise financial improvement! Of course, mere improvement is not enough.
Make the improvement as big as possible! Apparently, the bigger, the better!
(return to # 2 Red Flag above)
# 3 Your birthdate is important and he
knows that yours is special. He is stating, very plainly, that he knows what your birthdate is.
He even admits to having seen it on a “list in [his] office.” And yet he asks you
to write your birthdate on the form (at the end of the letter) he wants you to return (along
with $20, of course)? This just points out how much of this letter is nothing but pure
hype and nonsense. There is no truth in it. Except for the demand that you send $ 20, of
course, that is certainly real!
(return to # 3 Red Flag above)
# 4 Mr. Haslett says he is “rushing
this letter to you”. However, it is mailed using the USPS bulk rate method. We used to
call that ‘Third-Class’ since it was usually intended for catalogs, advertisements,
and other “junk mail”. It certainly is not a priority, speed-sensitive method of
mailing. It is definitely not used when mailing anything important! This is just one more case
of the SCAMmer saying one thing but meaning absolutely the opposite. Bulk rate mail is not
used to “rush” anything to you. Mr. Hazlett is either severely misinformed or he is
lying to you!
(return to # 4 Red Flag above)
# 5 In one sentence the SCAMmer claims he
is NOT trying to convince you of anything. But in the next statement, circled to help capture
your attention, he begs you to believe him! Of course, he wants you to believe him, you
wouldn’t send him the $ 20, if you didn’t! He is lying… again!
(return to # 5 Red Flag above)
# 6 This letter takes longer to get to this
standard SCAM procedure than most. I call this the “Act-immediately-before-you-
think” trick. The sole purpose of every SCAM is to take your money! The key to that is to
get you to act before you think!
(return to # 6 Red Flag above)
# 7 $ 20.00 is not a great sum. Most people
can easily afford that much. However, these SCAM fees are always fairly small, usually less
than $ 40, for a very specific reason. Being so small, they will usually never get much
attention from any policing organization. You might even consider this small amount as part of
your ‘life education’. It is still fraud! You are not being asked to sign up for
any kind of education, you are being told you will be given information that will affect your
entire future. That is fraud, pure and simple. You will not get what you’re
paying for and what you do get will be worthless. Save your money. Learn this lesson
for free! (return to # 7 Red Flag above)
# 8 One last reminder, never give
your birthdate to anyone who already has your full name and address unless you know who they
are and why they need it. “Mr. Hazlett” is a complete stranger who has already lied
to you more than once! He even claims he already knows you birthdate! There is absolutely no
valid reason to give it to him. Lastly, you should not be sending him any reply. You will only
be helping him send more SCAM letters to more people. You will also make your own name and
address more valuable to other SCAMs since you confirmed that your address is correct.
