We once were plagued by unscrupulous "oil sharks" who would send Texas landowners "sight drafts" (checks) for tempting sums. If the recipient cashed the "sight draft", it was tantamount to signing over the mineral rights to your land.

Quite a few older folks on limited incomes did cash their "windfall checks" -- and lost the mineral (and surface) rights their their property.

I threw away the first few drafts. Then, I took the latest one to the range and carefully wrote " NO! " on it in bullet holes -- and mailed it back. I never heard from that 'oil shark' company again... '-}
