"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "dear beloved," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Dear Beloved,

Good day to you and how are you today? I got your contact during my
search
for a reliable and trust worthy someone whom will execute my wish
accordingly. I am Mrs Khadija Zaidi from Jordan. I am married to Late
El-Sherif Zaidi of blessed memory who worked in Gulf Oil Company (KGOC)
Kuwait as one of the director for nine years before he died in the year
2015. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Since his death I have been battling with ovarian cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $9.1M
(Nine Million One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a security
and
finance firm in Turkey.

Presently, the deposited funds are still with the security firm.
Recently
my Doctor told me that I have a limited time to live on earth due to my
cancer problem, though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
These
are the reason I decided to donate this fund to a reliable and God
fearing
someone who will utilize these funds according to my wish

I want you to use this said funds with all sincerity and trust to help
the
orphanages, widows around the world. I took this decision because I
don't
have any child that will inherit this funds and my husband relatives
doesn't deserve to know about the deposited funds anymore as they have
withdrawn all my late husband deposited funds in Jordan and other
countries
due to my condition, the only funds that left is $9.1M which was
deposited
in a finance and security firm in Turkey. I will give you more details
as
soon as you respond back and tell your readiness to execute my wish.

Thank you i waits your immediate response,
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Khadija Zaidi.
