I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's because most of them end up being scams that try to get money from people; there have been reports of people being scammed out of $$millions. Even Tens of $$millions. Also, they have a tendency to incite fear, paranoia & panic--(quiet panic).

They disrupt the peace and cause people to panic and go to the police over the letter... basically they just cause trouble.
