This is weird. I just got an email that says it's from my sister, who has been dead for 7 years

[Siwsan]

Her name on the 'from' line. The really weird thing is, it was sent to an email account I didn't open until AFTER she died. The actual sender? Something/one called [e-mail]

Needless to say, I'm not opening it.

Oh, how do you know when the email acct was made?

[Siwsan]

3. It's a Gmail account that I opened about 3 months after she died

If she ever needed to email me anything, which wasn't often, she sent it to my Yahoo account.

2. I got one from my dead aunt yesterday. It had a link

for me to click, instead I pushed and held down on my dead aunts email address and another email address showed up. I deleted the scammer email. Be careful

[Siwsan]

6. I'm definitely not going to open it - it's going to the trash

The anniversary of her death is this month so that really hit me hard, seeing her name.

4. It's a 'health protection agency' in Sardinia

[Siwsan]

7. ???? Wow - that makes it even weirder.

Still can't figure out how they got my sister's name

8. I'm guessing your sister's name is in some Electronic Health Record (?)

Here's a link and excerpt from the translation page...

Digital healthcare
Electronic Health Record and online reportsElectronic Health Record and online reports
The Electronic Health Record (FSE) contains the citizen's electronic health documents in digital format. The patient can share the information contained in the dossier with authorized healthcare professionals.


The Health Protection Agency (ATS) was born on 1 January 2017.
The ATS was born from the merger by incorporation of the seven ASLs in the acquiring company of Sassari.
We will have a company and eight socio-health areas , corresponding to the territories of the old ASLs, in addition to the area of ​​the Metropolitan City of Cagliari, which will be born at the same time as the implementation of the reform of the Local Authorities.
Healthcare in Sardinia is evolving to have a better service, lower costs and uniform quality.
A simpler organization, with the health of citizens at the center .

10. I'm sure there were - 7 years ago.

And, Sardinia? Just the fact that they tried to make this look like it was from my sister, dead OR alive, is reprehensible.

11. Maybe someone else has the same name (?) or...

I think it was you who used to say (in your gardening threads), that your sister finds a way to send you a message near the time of her transition and that it brought you comfort.
