Here are a couple of examples of scams currently going around:
Good day,
I’m reaching out to learn more about your funeral home and the services you provide. We’re currently looking into funeral service options and would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your arrangements, services, pricing, availability, and how you typically work with families.
If possible, we’d also be interested in scheduling a brief Zoom call to discuss this further and ask a few questions.
Please let me know if you’re available for a short Zoom conversation and what time would work best for you.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
This one actually came to me
Hello,
I am writing to inquire about your embalming and mortuary services, as we are preparing for a funeral that is scheduled to take place approximately 3 month from now.
We would like to make the necessary arrangements in advance and would appreciate information about your embalming services, requirements, costs, and the arrangements needed to prepare and preserve the deceased until the funeral.
Please also let me know your availability and the steps required to proceed with the arrangements.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Ajay.
