Description

this man called on our house phone and stated that he was from the state department and trying to pay out fund regarding a life insurance benefit. it listed my uncle as the beneficiary, however my uncle has been gone for 7 years and this insurance policy was apparently for an old girlfriend of his (they were never married nor had any kids together). This guy continued on saying who is his next of kind which would of been my 87 year old grandma. He sd that he would set up a notary for her to sign paperwork and she would need to bring her DL, social security card and death certificate for my uncle. I got involved asking to see the paperwork that she was going sign and they sent it over and its a power of attorney paperwork, and some other paperwork that has different numbers and people listed as a private investigator and attorney, but it all says they are at the PO Box in Plano and the actual business they used is in Denver CO. so that was already suspicious. Also in the paperwork it never mentioned the girlfriends name, nor the name of the insurance company or original origin of this said money. After adding all this up it just seemed too suspicious and we did not go through signing papers.
