there comes a time when you quit feeling sorry for the people that fall for these things.
From: “Trustees”<trustees@solicitors.com>Subject: WillDate: October 25, 2011 9:01:52 AM CDTTo: undisclosed-recipients:;Reply-To: <lawofficeinuse@gala.net.>On behalf of the Trustees and Executors of the estate of Late George Brumley, I wish to notify you that he made you one of the beneficiaries of his estate.
Please reply with your contact details.RegardsDavid
I got one as well – From: “Trustees”
The HUGE tell is the reply is to some email address which is based some where in Taiwan. While it claims to be from which is a legitimate website. Many spam protecting software target the “From” category, so it’s a little more difficult to block this email when the “Reply” is the address that is the villain.
So, thank you for posting this and confirming my skepticism about this scam.
I did a search for “Trustees” scam – and you were at the top. Thanks.
you blog automatically removed the email address that were at fault – so it’s not exactly what I wrote. I only included them to help boost your SEO on the this scam. Ahhh Well.
