Answer 5 · May 16, 2023

I just got my letter re Bruce F. Looks like they set up a phony website.

Answer 6 · May 16, 2023

I also received the same letter today! His name was Dr. Bruce Edmondson he also died of Covid 2 yrs ago. I called the number on the letter and he answered but not by Law Firm.

He said is this about Dr. Bruce letter you received and I told him yes. He told me that he could not discuss the details on the phone and to contact him by email. Sorry everyone my Dr. Bruce left me 10,550,300.00. It must have gotten interesting. HaHaHa! Such a scam. I wish I knew who to turn him into and I would. Thanks for all the comments!

Answer 8 · May 16, 2023

I also received a letter relating to a $10,000,000 plus life policy with a name on it similar to mine. The policyholder, deceased, listed no beneficiaries. Who initiates a life in’s. policy and doesn’t list a beneficiary? I smell a rat. The letter also states that if I respond and participate in claiming the money the proceeds will be “shared” with the law firm. The firm also states they want 10% of the money to go to charity. If this was legit, the firm couldn’t tell the beneficiary how to “spend” the $. I assume contacting the “firm” will reveal a costly upfront payment procedure with no guarantee of successful results...no guarantee that the $ten million will be successfully collected. Of course, it’s tempting to contact the firm but I don’t want to expose my email address to them.

Answer 9 · May 15, 2023

Yea got mine from Howard Swindle today totally bogus

Answer 10 · May 15, 2023

I received a letter claiming that a real estate investor by the same last name as mine left $10 million and asked me to be in partnership with them to claim the money. With 10% going to charity and 90% will be shared between us

Answer 11 · May 15, 2023

Laughably incompetent scumbag scam artists.

They could not even print out their letter properly. Its lopsided, with the print running off to the right from top to bottom of the page.

They neglected to include a document on which I could provide requested information.

They did not include a return envelope.

And that's all good, because eventually they will get ahold of someone with cognition problems who wlll go along with the scam and see their life savings plundered.

What a pathetic way to spend one's life.

Thankyou to the person who set up the Question and Answer page.

Answer 12 · May 15, 2023

Same! Bruce died of Covid according to my letter. Scam. What a joke.

Answer 13 · May 15, 2023

Tip : I can sometimes spot where these people buy or steal their info from. Whenever possible I always " mark" my info when entering online anytime I can.

For instance if my last name is John Smith and I get a questionable letter or peice of mail for John Smyth and I know where I used that spelling then bingo I know where my info was obtained from.

Answer 14 · May 15, 2023

My husband received one as well. What a generous offer from this Mr. Shindell. We are SO excited to potentially hand over our bank account information and his social security number so that we can retire. NOT!

Answer 15 · May 15, 2023

Received same letter claiming Dr. Bruce Mandrick real estate investor died with 10 million life insurance policy with no one claiming it. Offer to send 10% to charity then split remaining 90%. Letter mailed from Buffalo NY. Total scam

Answer 16 · May 15, 2023

Same here. Dr. Bruce with our last name. Of course we know we have no relatives with that name or $. What a joke. Scammers

Answer 17 · May 15, 2023

I got one too. Same first name as others, Bruce. Definitely fake!

Answer 18 · May 15, 2023

My letter says it was from Bruce Bennison.

Answer 19 · May 15, 2023

I received the same letter, If it’s too good to be true, It probably is. Mine said Dr Bruce Daigle was a Covid victim, died 2 years ago and had a 10 million life insurance Policy, I’m thinking scammers and robber’s. I researched online and it stinks to me.

P. Daigle

Answer 20 · May 15, 2023

Total scam. Poorly written letter, claims to be from Toronto, but post marked Buffalo NY. No return address on envelope. Claims to be a "partner", but no other name in the firm heading. Claims the Canadian doctor left money, but the amount is is U.S. dollars, not Canadian dollars. Web site is from middle east. No person with $10 million does not know where the money will go when they die. This scam artist is not well educated, and will hopefully die soon.

Answer 21 · May 14, 2023

I received the exact letter saying the same thing.

A 10mil payout for an unclaimed policy to be split.

Answer 22 · May 14, 2023

My husband received a similar letter about an unclaimed $10M life insurance policy in the name of Dr. Bruce G. This “law firm” wants 10% to go to charities, and a 50/50 split for the remaining 90%. Another reviewer got the same letter for Dr. Bruce M. Seems there are likely a whole bunch of Dr. Bruces with the exact same policy. One word… SCAM!

Answer 24 · May 14, 2023

Got letter today he just wants 10 o/o for charity and half of all the rest surprise surprise but it had to be confidential

Answer 25 · May 14, 2023

Yep. Scam. Got a letter today saying a relative of mine died and that we could “partner” to share the 10 million dollar payout. There are quite a few tip-offs in the letter that our suspicious but I could easily see someone getting excited and calling this outfit.

Answer 26 · May 14, 2023

My elderly father who lives in Texas just got the same letter: stating some relative who was a real estate investor, left a life insurance policy worth $10,550,300.00. Seems like the late Dr. Bruce M, at least that is the name in this letter, left a lot of money for a lot of illegitimate kids.

They also say to keep it confidential and they only want 10%. How kind!

I hope no one falls for this scam!

Answer 27 · May 15, 2023

Got the same letter to, except that my supposed relative is Dr Bruce S. Wow! I truly hope no one falls for this scam.

Answer 28 · May 16, 2023

How kind of the late Dr. Bruce A.! Died 2 yrs ago from COVID and left $10,550,300. What a crock of sh*t...haha. Hope no one falls for this SCAM!

Answer 29 · May 13, 2023

Oh, and the address is for the Rehabilitation Sciences building. There is not law firm there, only medical.

Answer 30 · May 13, 2023

Scam. The last number of the postal code is missing. No photos of the team. A friend just got a scam letter from them.

Answer 31 · May 13, 2023

I think this is a scam! they sent me a letter saying they would help get a $10m life insurance policy payout for a relative that never existed. I am not sure how to report this or what could be done to help protect others that I am sure received similar letters.
