Write back, from an anonymous account of course, and state

"I am, in fact deceased. What do I need to do to protect my account?"

Bait from there.

You could say you're spending a year dead for tax reasons. Or you could assure him that you're not dead (which is what a potential victim would do). It's a variant of the Edmond/Edward Beneker scam, in which someone claims to be your agent and is trying to get your supposed lottery winnings put into his own account.

Write back with the name Hotblack Desiato. Smile

Don't ask who died. They drop you. I asked a few to "make sure" I am the beneficiary. They stop writing. Be greedy and try to get the money no questions asked and bait away.

You need the headers of the email to find where it is from. Some services such as Gmail hide the sender's IP address. Find out how to view headers and find the IP address of the sender. This often reveals the sender's IP address and thus the sender's ISP, possibly the city in addition to the country.

I had a lad send me my funeral pictures. I had a rather large turnout. It was quite moving, although the colour of my coffin changed a couple of times.

I sometimes like to reply with a long email - no paragraphs - and insert, "I am not merely dead, I'm really most sincerely dead."

Mine never noticed.

Crossed in the mail. A lad's a lot more likely to sort-of understand "year dead for tax reasons", even if he misses the allusion, than recognize the name "Desiato". Witness the loan lad who called himself Frodo.
