The one lately I have been getting is that I have a relative that has passed that has left me a considerable amount of money, they won't say who the relative is, and won't send me anything in writing without me giving me a social, my date of birth, and processing fee. Given that I only have handful of relatives, know they are still alive, I never give out that info, and know they never ask for a fee for this kind of stuff if in fact there are things willed.... I guess my long lost relative will have to leave that supposed money to someone else; too bad though, it might have been nice to have known about them given how small the family actually is. What will they come up with next?!
