Deceased person owes R17K

Got a call yesterday claiming my deceased relative owes R17K. Funny how that is the same amount I saw being stipulated on another deceased person's complain on this very platform. Do you guys just thumb suck your balances owed to you by dead people?

I am still waiting for copies of the contracts (signed by the deceased) stated on the mail. The matter has not been resolved according to me, unfortunately.
