Sandra Rochefort I always seem to get mailings from this person or others like her. The way to tell the scam: The return address printed on the bottom right of the return envelope. New York, New York

I always receive mailings from this person and people like her. Some from NY and some from Arizona. Unfortunately if it sounds too good to be true-it is! There are no secret potions or trinkets that will bring money, luck, or love. The one way I can always tell is that the return address on the return envelope is printed in the bottom right corner, sometimes with PO box.

I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who is down on their luck and needs help, but I'm also glad to help and to let you know not to waste your time and money on these stupid things. Oh, and sometimes they may tell you that bad luck (or more of it) will befall anyone who doesn't  send money or who throws away the letter, much like a chain letter. Simple solution to that: Don't believe it. It's not true.
