Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 9690304" data-attributes="member: 177">So, this past week, my wife received what amounted to a Nigerian Prince spam... through regular US Mail.It was a little different. It claimed there was a Dr. (for sake of this post) Smith, who had died, and left behind a life insurance policy for tens of millions of dollars, but had no known family. The money will soon revert to the state unless an heir is found...The letter went on to say, in essence, "My research shows you have a name very similar to Smith. We can do business. I will give 10% of the money to charity, and we can split the other 90% evenly. I have all the paperwork to support your claim, if you just reach out to me..."So, acknowledging the thing is shady as heck, but hey more than a million goes to charity, so that's good...Someone paid postage to send that...</blockquote>
