Most of us have been inundated with E-mail letters from scammers around the world, each promising millions of dollars. Of course, there is an inevitable fee, tax, or legal expense for claiming that money. The pitches include celebratory announcements of lottery windfalls; prizes with ringing endorsements from Interpol and the FBI; awards from the International Monetary Fund; pleas from orphans in refugee camps; United Nations compensation packages for those already bilked by scams; and news that you're the sole heir of a very wealthy and extremely distant relative. Janice Kirkland (a nom de sucker), a slightly befuddled elderly woman with more dollars than sense, replied to them with some wild suggestions and plans of her own. She presented herself as a naive, vulnerable, and attractive mark, which generated some hilarious correspondence.

This book was a great idea, along the lines of "Letters From a Nut". However--and it's a big however--after 30 or 40 pages, I was over it. A one-note joke is no longer a joke after a while; it's just blah. I think if the author had mixed the money retrieval scams, lottery win emails and the other scams all together, instead of separating them into their own chapters, it would have been more successful. Each scam would have held a surprise, rather than just echoing the one that came immediately before it. Now, I'm not saying the book's not engaging, but, for me, it certainly wasn't a one-sitting read. Also, Fields' character, Janice, who responds to these emails, is just as sad as she is funny. There are just too many lonely, desperate and elderly people out there who are falling for these scams for the reader to not wince through their grins at Janice's correspondence. Still, this is a very good effort, just not rip-roaringly hilarious.Product details

My Dearest Sucker Special Offers For Limited People Linda A Fields 9781629185101 Books Reviews
Brilliant! Had me laughing from cover to cover! Gave me a few ideas for some unsolicited telephone calls I receive!
I love a writer who sees something funny in what most of us merely let pass by, or simply delete. Linda Fields has done it with "My Dearest Sucker" and it is a most enjoyable little book. I recommend it!
Linda Fields (as Janice Kirkland) is exceptionally savvy when it comes to words. She's found a way around these scammers with humor, sarcasm and questions that I'm sure had the authors of these letters, scratching their heads and wondering why they went into this business in the first place.
A seriously fun read. Enjoy!
A not real bright old lady responds to the emails we all get, and it is. Toss up whom is more confused. A lot of nonsense, and goes on and on, but really is funny.
What would happen if you responded (gracefully) to all those emails that you know are scams? This book will take you, via Janice Kirkland, on that journey. Both hilarious yet scary at the same time, hilarious in that Linda's responses as Janice Kirkland are like reeling in fish (easily) and giving those fish the ultimate runaround (thank you for wasting the scammers time). Scary in that we know there are people who fall for these scams and are easily parted with their money.
This book is a fun and enlightening read. If only people who are willing to be scammed so easily would read this book instead of their email...
Okay - we've all gotten these scam emails, but Linda A. Fields brings it to another dimension where the emails are actually answered by the main character. It was fast reading, rang so true, and livened up my snowy Saturday afternoon. Brilliantly put together. Looking forward to more from this author.
With meticulous devotion to detail, Ms Fields pulls the wings off of would be scammers and predators by tying them up in a correspondence loop that ultimately leads nowhere. By wasting THEIR time and getting THEM to chase rainbows she exacts the revenge we all would like to have on these astonishingly merciless con men. All of their phony credentials, documents and forms are faithfully reproduced and included so the reader can chortle along with the author as she explores the boundaries of THEIR naivety. Hidden beneath all the merriment is the stark truth that these people have absolutely NO mercy or shame and will prey on anyone, regardless of their circumstances.
This book is extremely entertaining and will satisfy the reader's sense of justice in the process. Highly recommended!
