Over the last few days I have received some of 'those emails', claiming 
to involve large bequests or similar funds. By this time I was getting 
tired of seeing them. It was time to up the ante, so I did an internet 
search for the company and the sender named. After a few minutes the 
search engine found the company web site.

I used their feedback form to inquire after the 'name of the sender. Not 
surprisingly, the woman named didn't work there at all. Case closed!

So if you need a way to expose these fraudsters and avoid loss, why not 
take time to check up on the sender before getting involved in the 
nebulous world of funny money created by 'bistro math' by those who want 
YOUR money?

Note: This incident has also been added to my blog.
