what i like to know is why these scam artist never seem to get caught. You wire money somewhere, you could trace it to the bank account the money goes to and catch the guy

What if they wired it by Western Union? That business makes its money off of keeping cash transactions silent and anonymous.

By the way, most of the suggestions given are bunk. It's not terribly hard to find the names of siblings, etc., from newspaper accounts of obituaries.
