Junk Mail.

We keep hearing about scams in spam emails and junk
snail mail, well I got one last week!

Quote: "we are trying to contact somebody with your name
about an old insurance policy, if you think that it is you, please
call ******".

It was me!

I had bought an insurance policy in the 1980s when I worked in
the South Atlantic and forgot about it, I found the policy a couple
of months ago, but the company was gone and I hadn't got round
to following it through to see where it went.

So now I am waiting for a phone call from the new owners of my
arrangement.

Better than finding £20 in a coat pocket.

Mike.

Ooooh, great. I hope it's a lot more than 20 pounds!

I do hope that is truly good news, Mike, but how CAN one be 100 % certain?

 

[hollydolly]

oooh keep us updated because if it's a lot of money I'm going to remember I'm one of your long lost relatives...

 

[Sunny]

Me too! Me too! Cousin Mike, you do remember me, don't you?

Whatever you do don’t release that policy till you call the company that holds it, make sure you get their number yourself. You can’t trust anyone anymore! Good luck.

yes, I myself would want a third party to verify that they are the "new owners"
