Odd. Sounds foreign; using the orphan angle in a short con has been out of vogue here for decades.

Oh yeah, I remember the time I had a rich uncle in Nigeria die and he left me a whole bunch of money, but the only way I could get it was to send his lawyer about $1,000 for his fee. So sad, but I don't even remember that side of the family.

I'm sure a mod will get here shortly and delete the "member"
I'm also pretty sure most of us here savvy enough not to fall for this

But she promised me her father's rare Dunhill corn cob pipe with a real amber stem. She says it is even signed by Al Dunhill!!! She even hinted at similar pipe by Al's twin brother Fred!
