Getting introduced to the peer review process, I get why everyone is always exhausted now.

I keep getting emails offering free pianos owned by recently deceased husbands. I know it's a scam but I just don't see the angle. Are they haunted? Is it like The Ring and a curse is only lifted when someone new plays them?
