Stupid Punts!

This scam claims to come from a company looking for relatives with the same surname as the deceased.

Needless to say they don't say what the surname is.

The unwary, and stupid, will assume that it is the same as theirs.

However, this mail is sent out to millions of people; all of whom have different surnames.

Unless you have not realised it by now, it is a con.
