I think we're all pretty much aware of the email scams from Nigeria but a new one is doing the rounds. This is from someone who says they're in China (but used a UK stamp) and is in the form of a letter delivered by Royal Mail and personally addressed. It takes the line that some unheard of relative of yours (in my case called Anderson Weir-Breen if you please) died in a trekking accident and that "bing that Anderson Weir-Breen as exact last name as you, and I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds". (Love the spelling, don't you? Guess it's supposed to represent someone with poor English who knows what "intestate" means!!!! Of course I'm told the whole thing is confidential and not to mention it to a soul so, instead, I'm telling my computer screen. Woops - just pressed the "publish" button. Sorry "Guo Li".
