Who, what, why, when, where and how?

I just had to post a little something.

I've recently been bombarded with some smoke flavored spam! Somehow my email address got sent to tons of "barristars" (is that even a word? I've never heard of it until my recent spam attack). These barristars have been writing me and telling me that they are sorry to inform me of some "ill" news. They have a client who has left me millions of dollars in a will. These clients have all met some tragic, untimely passing. These barristars have searched high and low for me, finally finding me--so that they can now pass on this windfall to me. The catch? Give them my bank account number and access to it--thereby allowing them to deposit the MILLIONS into my account?

Have these barristars been smoking spam or the tin that preserves it? I'm certainly not giving them my account number, or a blank cheque (that's how some of them spell it), or a finders fee. And to boot, these barristars are from a part of the world that I know my ancestors have never traveled to, except via the Travel channel (curtesy of Direct TV).

It's not only one barristar that is writing me, but several. And none of these deceased relatives have a last name, slightly bearing my surname crest (do Filipino descendents have a crest? or is that just the Scottish?). And I tell you, I get at least one spam contact from them daily. Maybe I should check it out--and if I do inherit millions, will have that party on a yacht I always dreamed of having.

Tune in next week to see if I have any unknown relatives show up at my door.
