Her Sceptic Accountant Husband Almost Lost Her $1.2m!

Have you heard about the heiress who almost lost her total inheritance of $1.2m? A relative of her's passed away without making a will... A Heir Angels company traced her as the only living relative. They wrote her a letter informing her of her potential inheritance but she threw the letter away because she was told by her sceptical accountant husband that it was a scam.

The following day she received a call from the Heir Angels company executive wanting to make an appointment for her to sign some papers. He gave her his name and also his position with the company. Feeling more comfortable after having received such details she agreed to see him. They made an appointment.

Bearing in mind her husband's informed words, she was now wondering whether she did the right thing... She decided that if this Heir Angel company was as reputable as claimed by the Executive who contacted her it must have a website. So, she googled it. Sure enough they had a website.

She went to the website and started browsing around. To her pleasant surprise she found not only the name of that executive but also his picture included on the site as one of the senior executives. She could not wait for her husband to come home that evening. Very confidently, she told him what she had done and also found on the company's website. She felt very pleased and also proud of herself firstly because:

1. There was nothing her husband can possibly object to;
2. She would be able to recognize the executive when they met; and
3. She was now almost convinced that there was, after all, a large inheritance coming her way.

If she had not done her own due diligence she would have lost her $1.2m inheritance due to unfounded scepticism alone....

Moral of the story: Always do your own Due Diligence in all business and social affairs you wish to get involved in....
