A scam in which the sender says there is an unclaimed substantial amount of funds, usually in the millions, associated with your surname. (My last name is very common.) Usually s/he claims to be an attorney or a financial officer with an impressive, phony title. It's usually from outside of the US, Canada or England. If you contact the person, you will be given further instructions to make a good faith deposit or service fee and once they have access to your bank account, kiss your balance goodbye.
