The obituary scam

2:27

so

2:27

there is an old story about a scammer

2:30

who used to look in the obituaries

2:34

columns and the bitter II column is a

2:37

notice for the dead they put in a

2:39

newspaper and he found the addresses of

2:43

the people who have died recently and

2:47

then he sent them a bill for

2:51

and umbrella now the family who received

2:56

the bill assumed that he or she had

3:00

ordered it before he died and because it

3:05

was a small amount they paid the bill

3:08

without question and apparently this was

3:12

a very successful scan and the scammer

3:17

got very rich because of it

3:19

unfortunately one day he got caught and

3:24

the reason he got caught was because he

3:27

sent the bill to the address of somebody

3:31

who had been in bed for the last twenty

3:34

years and the family got suspicious they

3:37

called the police

3:38

and he ended up in jail or maybe you've
