Maybe it's a dry run for some scam-artists-in-training.

I always love the ones that don't provide a working email or phone number. Um, how are you going to get money out of us if we can't contact you?

You know, I'm dealing with four or five cases at work where people have fallen for these scams, sent off money to claim their 'inheritance' and then lodge a complaint against the bank they believe sent the email. They are absolutely convinced that the emails are genuine and nothing I (or any of my colleagues who are also dealing with these cases) can convince them otherwise. Fortunately, they're easy cases for us to deal with in terms of how our rules apply to them.

But, yeah, it's astonishing to me how many people fall for these things. And for timeshare resale/holiday club/travel cashback scams too. I was looking through my old Decisions the other day and it was depressing how many of them began "Whilst on holiday in Spain you attended a presentation on behalf of a holiday club, following which you agreed to purchase a membership ..."
