Does that mean I can tell the Irish Fishermen they can soon have a fishing holiday on the Nullabor?

Not the great 'Sydney Harbour Bridge scam'

But you never can tell if it's a SCAM or not..

TRUE STORY..... not in the EMAIL .. but arrived by SNAIL MAIL.

About 7 years ago I received a letter for a genealogy company in London it was a list of questions about some person who lived in the UK .. the tag line was if I could name this person I could make a claim on several million dollars..in the letter it stated there was over 90 other who could also make a claim .. the bottom line was.. if I couldn't name the person and if no other person could.. the genealogy co would make a claim as agent for all the people on the list .. and a 1/3 fee would be charged and just over 1/3 could go in taxes... I was asked to write back saying I appoint them as my agent in the case....

My first thought was SCAM.. but SWMBO.. said why not phone my brother in the UK.. this I did .. he also thought it a scam...

In a short time he was back on the phone.. "it's not a scam.." so I got the letter out of the trash bin and my answer was soon in the post..

Over the next few weeks I received several letters asking questions about family members...I passed the test and was told the first payment will soon be made..

Then the cheques started arriving.....I won't say how much.. but it was several 10s of thousands...

Oh bum, it wasn't a spam.

So we must be cousins some distance apart,
