Ridiculous.  They would have your name....even if they were using email, which they wouldn't, and they would NOT give details of the will.

The language sounds like that of a high school student with a thesaurus.

Good on your for posting.

Is it the TC Bobby? It would not look like something he could do. it truly is both a clone or the guy has a chip on his shoulder. At any cost, i have not gotten any e-mails from a person named Bobby. It will pay to be below the radar. thanks on your issue, regardless of the undeniable fact that. Edit: Ah, ok. So it truly is in basic terms yet another person named Bobby. i understand what you advise; by summertime, there'll be extra immediately childrens posting troll questions in this section. The style of trolls and troll questions look to skyrocket in the course of iciness and spring spoil, regardless of each thing. Hum...

this kind of email had been blocked already in my mailbox as it was considered a spam. be careful. do not reply that. but i think you are already known to this sender since you opened that message. so watch out for the next flooding emails like that...
