Default Telegrams to the other side (sic)

This would have to be the most preposterous site I have ever found to date.
Afterlife Telegrams
Quote:
For a fee of $5 per word (5 word minimum), our customers can have a telegram delivered
to someone who has passed away. This is done with the help of terminally Ill volunteers
who memorize the telegrams before passing away, and then deliver the telegrams after
they have passed away. We call this an "afterlife telegram".

- Invite someone to a seance that will take place at a certain time and place. (We sincerely doubt this will work, but it's your money.)
They've thought this thing through, though. The FAQ even has a list of reasons that it might not work, and why it might not be necessary.

I am sure they would be laughing all the way to the bank in untapping such a lucritive pool of gullibility

Another way to fool people is the send the departed person an email and let the so called spirit medium know their password.
