"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!

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.

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Dear Friend,

How are you today and your family, I will be so happy to hear from you
soon, my life is gradually passing away from me I am Mrs. Zainab
Abdullah Al-Juaid, I was married to late Engr.Saud Abdullah Mansour
Al-Juaid {PhD}, He worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY in Kuwait for
18 years before he died on 22nd of March 2016.

My late husband (Engr.Saud Abdullah Mansour Al-Juaid {PhD}) deposited
some amount with a bank before his death. My Doctor told me that I would
not last for the next seven months due to cancer problem and I donâ€™t
know how my condition will be, so I decided to donate this fund to a
Charity organization or good person that will use this money in good
faith by compliment the good work of Almighty.

I took this decision because I don't have any child or any relative that
would inherit this money and I kept this deposit secret until now with

HONEST?

On your reply I will give you the contact of the bank and I will also
issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you as the
