You've got to be extremely careful what information you give out when answering the phone or publishing a bereavement in the local press. What might seem perfectly harmless, like admitting your name to an unknown caller adds another piece of the jigsaw concerning your identity to the unscrupulous fraudster....

Some people avidly read the bereavement columns in the papers and act unscrupulously.

Hi

Spot on.

My last Ex was and still is an Estate Agent, they scour the columns.

Sorry to hear about your relative Deylon.
The last thing anybody needs at this time are these vultures.

Yes, there are always people hoping for a bargain and unfortunately some people are unaware of property value. An offer of thousands of pounds for what often looks like a house in need of modernising can be tempting even though it's an offer way below its true value.

Hi

House prices here have been decimated since we put sanctions on Russia, down 30%.

It was a massive market for our agricultural produce locally, now gone.
