I received this seemingly personal envelope in the mail.  I say “seemingly personal” because it was a combination of faux hand addressed, return address sticker, and presorted first-class.

Letter from James Dudley Media Group – Scam!

Inside it had two pages.  The first was a letter:

24-Feb-14

James Dudley Media Group Letter

The second page was the following survey:

Dudley Media Group Android Tablet Survey

The dudleymediagroup.com website is a weird combination of freebies, current entertainment news, and “some restrictions apply” clauses:

Dudley Media Group Homepage

A cursory google search gave a lot of scam warnings and this F rating by the Better Business Bureau.  I’d avoid this like the plague and not call them and give your personalized “package code” which would probably place you on a sucker list to get more junk in the mail.
