My husband, who is deceased, received an unprofessional letter from Howard shindell law firm stating, blah blah blah, his address in Toronto, postmarked Buffalo,New York, with United States postage. Yes, that’s the ant of money in question, $10,550,300.,00. Also, it is 100% risk free

They send it out with the last name changed to match the person's to whom it is addressed. Obvious scam, but someone is bound to fall for it and has or they wouldn't keep it up. Bad punctuation, capitalization, copy is not even straight on the paper, the bolded recipient's name and "Late" person's name, thrown in. I don't understand why the the postal service can't prosecute. Main scammer is probably in Toronto, but pays people to send out "personalized" letters from all over. Disgusting.

I also received the same letter today! His name was Dr. Bruce Edmondson he also died of Covid 2 yrs ago. I called the number on the letter and he answered but not by Law Firm.

He said is this about Dr. Bruce letter you received and I told him yes. He told me that he could not discuss the details on the phone and to contact him by email. Sorry everyone my Dr. Bruce left me 10,550,300.00. It must have gotten interesting. HaHaHa! Such a scam. I wish I knew who to turn him into and I would. Thanks for all the comments!

I also received a letter relating to a $10,000,000 plus life policy with a name on it similar to mine. The policyholder, deceased, listed no beneficiaries. Who initiates a life in’s. policy and doesn’t list a beneficiary? I smell a rat. The letter also states that if I respond and participate in claiming the money the proceeds will be “shared” with the law firm. The firm also states they want 10% of the money to go to charity. If this was legit, the firm couldn’t tell the beneficiary how to “spend” the $. I assume contacting the “firm” will reveal a costly upfront payment procedure with no guarantee of successful results...no guarantee that the $ten million will be successfully collected. Of course, it’s tempting to contact the firm but I don’t want to expose my email address to them.
