DH received an email giving some information about a dead uncle (long dead -- he died in 1942 in active service) but saying that DH was a beneficiary in his uncle's will (presumably his mother was the actual legatee, but she died about 8 years ago). The emailer gave out quite a lot of detailed family information, so he had clearly done his research (on Ancestry, perhaps). He gave his company name as MCW Probate Research. He hasn't asked for a bank account number (yet)! Does anyone know if this is legitimate? DH's family were rather dysfunctional, with lots of estrangement going on, so it seems potentially possible that someone died leaving some sort of legacy. Has anyone else heard of this company? (A quick scoot round google didn't bring up anything too hopeful).
