This is for real:
After my Mom died, I got a bill from Lord and Taylor for a small amount on her credit card. I called and told them the same thing...that my Mom was dead. I was told that they would have to sue her estate! I laughed and said, "My mother was a 4'11" woman who lived in a 3 room apartment in Brooklyn. There is no estate!"
She asked me to please write a letter stating that my Mom was dead to the Credit Department of the store. I said, "Honey, the 10 cents for this phone call is all the money I am going to put into this. I'm not writing a letter!"
I never heard from them again, but I have always suspected that my Mom was shopping from the grave! This bill came about 5 months after she had died!
