->> No but a lawyer googled my name and found me through my SS page with news that a deceased relative left me money.

No Kidding! Three weeks ago....... I should hear this week what kind of $$$$ we're talking about. No joke! I've already called the company and confirmed the claim and other info. It's all legit.


So THANKS SS!!

->> For those of you tagging me funny, I'm not making any of that up. The law firm didn't have any contact info for me so they took a stab in the dark and left a message on my voice mail.

Blew me away.

->> I stand corrected, Michael's post qualifies (imo) as spam. I have now been spammed via SS.


.... And the plot thickens, today I got the 'packet' with all of the claim forms and IRS paperwork...... Included in my packet is one for my brother too..... He's dead....... off to the lawyers to sort it all out........

->> You mean that offer to shoot the wedding of the Ethipoian finance minister in exchange for some foreign aid checks might have been a ruse?
