The email below was recently received. I thought you'd get a kick out of it. Good thing I didn't take him seriously. I don't even have an Alfred Poole in my tree!
Dear Barbara,
"I am Elton Lee, Head of Trade and Supply chain HSBC, Asia. A transfer of $24.5 million was deposited by our Late customers who died without declaring any next of kin before his death in 2003.My suggestion to you is to stand as the next of kin to Alfred Poole, since you bear the same surname.We shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 50% for you."
Elton Lee.

Oh my goodness, will these phishing scams never cease?! They get more and more creative.
And how much did he want you to send him to gain access to your share? LOL.
That was his entire message. I imagine he would get to that, if I responded. Wendy, you should see all the google hits I got with his name and the first few words of my email from him.
"We shall share" - oh, too rich!
So so so love this part,
"since you bear the same surname"
OHHH MY!! If I change my surname will you share Barbara??
Share, of course, as long as I can have Ancestry for life!
