Mr.Joe Nnaeke
I haven't been paying attention, but it looks like some of these even use a mail merge to let you know your long-lost rich relative recently died in a tragic accident. They need to do it without adding that extra space- for aesthetic reasons- but I don't guess the perpetrators of these types of scams care too much for the details.
