419 Scam – The dying widow scam

In this variant of the "419" Advance Fee fraud the scammer claims to be a childless widow of a rich person, often someone from the Middle East or a former diplomat, who inherited a fortune from her husband and is now dying of (breast) cancer or "cancer and fibroid problems". A stroke is also often mentioned. Whenever we manage to trace the source of the email, it turns out to be from Nigeria or another country in West Africa or from satellite broadband ISPs that provide internet access to cafes in those countries. Most likely the old lady is really is a young guy, as most 419 scammers are.

Often the person writing the email will claim to be a "born again Christian". She (he!) will use biblical language such as starting the letter with "Calvary Greetings" or referring to scriptures ("Exodus 14"). The person may ask you to use the money for an orphanage, charities or a church. Others will claim to be devout Muslims.

Still, it's the same old scam: You (the victim) are to receive millions of dollars for essentially doing very little. Eventually you will be asked to wire thousands of dollars (see example) to a total stranger posing as a lawyer or a security company or another intermediary claiming to control that money. If you do that, you will lose the money sent and will never see the promised (but non-existent) fortune. It's all a swindle.

The male equivalent of the "dying widow" scam is the "dying merchant" scam.

From: Mrs Roseline Gupta. <ima_micheal2003@wp.pl>
Subject: Mrs Roseline Gupta.

Please endeavour to use it for children of God. with warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity from God. My name is Mrs. Roseline Gupta. from Malaysia. I am married to Dr james Gupta who worked with the Malaysia embassy in South Africa for nine years, Before he died in 2002.

We were married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for four days. Before his death we were both born again christains.Since his death i decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible spoke against.When my husband was alife he deposited the sum of $22million US dollars [twenty two million US dollars] with a finance company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the a security company in europe. Resently my doctor told me that i will take the grace of GOD for me to live one year more due to cancer problems.

Though what disturbs me mostly is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or still a christain individual that will use this to fund churches, orphanages and widows and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed are the hands that giveth. I took this decision because I don`t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not christains and I don`t want my husband hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don`t want a situation where these money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where am going.

I know that am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14vs14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I can only communication with you via email because of my health I cant always call you because of my health and my inlaws around me but I will always try if chance permits me. I don`t want them to know about these development.

Although I can do all things through christ that empowers me. As soon as I recieve your reply I shall give you the contact of the security Company in Europe. I will also fax to you all the deposit document and a letter of authority that will enpower you as the original- Beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me.

My happiness is that i lived a life of a worthy christain, whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve Him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Mrs Roseline Gupta.

RE: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.


I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years, before he died in the year 2000.We were both married for eleven years without a child.

He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is all against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $18.6Million (Eighteen Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a finance/security company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem.

Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition of health I have decided to donate this fund to churches, orphanage or a better Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use these fund to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. As I do not want a situation whereby this money will be used in an ungodly manner.

Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and also due of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/ Security Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this said fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.

My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in.


Hoping to hearing from you.

N.B-
PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO GIVE MY LAWYER IN CHARGE A CALL IMMEDIATELY, HE IS PRESENTLY UNDERGOING SEMINAL RESEACH IN WEST AFRICA, HE DOES EVERYTHING ON MY BEHALF AND HE'S A VERY UNDERSTANDING PERSON AND I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS IN JESUS.

Mrs. Joy Dish Khushab


I am Mrs. Joy Dish Khushab,a Egypt national I was
married to Dr.Dish Khushab who worked with Egypt
embassy in China for nine years before he died in the
year 2001.We were married for twive years and the
union unfortunately did not produce any offspring.
Before his death we had given our lives to Christ and
were living according to the Word.
A few weeks ago i was diagnosed with cancer and the
doctor has informed me that i do not have much time to
live. Presently I am practically an invalid as the
cancer has ravaged my body and i can feel my life
slowly ebbing away. I do not have much time to do the
Lord's work but He will give me strength to see my
last assignment through.
My husband, Dr .Khushab before his death deposited his
life savings of approximately Sixty Million 
Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars with a financial 
institution in the European continent. Before his death, 
we were committed to the growth of the church and the 
propagation of the word, but I can no longer partake 
in these noble tasks. I need a church,Christian individual 
or individuals who can continue the work in our stead. 
who will utilize this money theway I am going to instruct 
here into-fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating 
the word of God andto ensure that the house of God is maintained. 
To care for the sick, the poor, the downtrodden wherever they
may be The Bible made us to understand that blessed is

the hand that gives. I took this decision because
I don'thave any child or next of kin who can inherit
these monies.
Though the internet is a seemingly unlikely
place to find such individuals, I believe that the
Lord hide s jewels in the most unlikely places. It is
not the means that is important but the message.
I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the
Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my
case and I shall hold my peace. With God all things
are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of financial institution in
Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority
that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of
this fund. I want you and the church to always pray
for me because the lord is my shepherd. Happiness is
that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you. Remain
blessed in the name of the Lord.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Joy Dish Khushab

Assalamo Alaykom.

Wasalaam to you,and how are you doing?. My intention
of contacting you is to solicit your assistance for a
project which will be mutually
beneficial.Though I know my decision to contact you is
to a large extent unconventional, the prevailing
circumstances necessitated my action. 
I am Hajia Zainab Abdulkarim  from Libya. I am married
to Late Mallam OSMAN ABDULKARIM of blessed memory was
an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years
before he died in the year 2000. We were married for
twelve years without a child. He died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his
death we were both devoted Muslims. Since his death I
too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he made a
huge deposit in millions of US dollars with a Deposit
Company in oversea. (I will tell you the amount as we
proceed).

Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six
months to live due to cancer problem. Though what
disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known
my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a
Muslem organization or devoted Muslim individual that
will utilize this money the way I am going to
instructs herein. I want this Muslim organization or
individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund
mosques, orphanages, widows, and also propagating the
word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds
the views and belief of the Holy Quran.
 
The Holy Quran emphasizes so much on ALLAH'S
benevolence and this has encourage me to take the bold
step. I took this decision because I don't have any
child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are into some radical organisations and I
don't want a situation where this money will be used
in an Unholy manner. Hence the reasons for this bold
decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH
the most beneficent and the most merciful. 

I don't need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health, because of the presence
of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't
want them to know about this development. With ALLAH
all things are possible. As soon as I receive your
reply on Email: hajiaZainab@islamicvice.com I shall give
you the contact information of the Deposit Company in
oversea where the money was deposited. I will also
issue a letter of authority to the Deposit Company
authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed
to you and a copy of such authorization will be
forwarded to you. I want you and the Muslim community
where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness
is that I lived a true devoted Muslims worthy of
emulation. Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must
serve him in truth and in fairness. I will not
stipulate any precise amount to reward you as it will
have to be on pre-negotiated terms,based on your level
of involvment.

Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any
delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for a
Muslim organization or a devoted Muslim for this same
purpose. Until I hear from you email my dreams will
rest squarely on your shoulders. 
May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect
you.

Presently, the Gold deposit is still with the Finance/security Company in Europe. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to acute pneumonia from the Tsunami after effect problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Haven known my condition and also the urgent need of assistance by the nations and victims of the Tsunami, I decided to donate this funds to this people/nations in need.

I want a reliable person or an organization that will help retrieve, sell this Gold and make sure the victims of the Tsunami achieve directly from this funds, I don't have any child that will inherit this money hence my bold decision. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health.

Here is an example of a money demand in a "dying widow" scam:

From: "Barrister Stanley Uche" <barristerstanley_uche@yahoo.co.uk>
Subject: AM JUST BACK FROM COURT FirstName
To: victimemailaddress

Attention: FirstName,

Thanks FirstName, do have in mind that Mother Rose Smith has been a very nice woman to me and my family and have in fact helped children all over Africa when she was Ok, and that is another reason why I want to help her anyway I can.
I am a very serious person and assure you of the possibility of these funds, that is why I am afraid Mother Rose has to be careful and you must assure me that you will not let her done.
I have visit the Federal High Court to verified for how much it will cost to get an approved Change of Ownership, have in mind that I will be the one to draft a Power of attorney making you the beneficiary, but we will need an approval from the Federal High Court which I have verified on and they have stated that it will cost us USD$ 1,650.As I told you .

Consequent to this, I want you and Mother Rose Smith to know that I am ready to assist in which ever way I can, and that is why I have left everything I have doing and have contacted the Federal high court to know how much this will cost us, and as I know this Change of Ownership is the only thing holding the progress of this transaction and the release of the funds to you, because before Mother Rose late husband died this same process was made, and the Change of Ownership was approved before Mother Rose smith was made the beneficiary of the funds in question.
I assure you and confirm the availability of this funds, and that is why I am ready to assist in which ever way I can, and have agreed to assist with USD$ 700, because I know Mother Rose is in the hospital and does not have access to cash, as all her hospital bills have been paid for in advance.
My dear I want you to know that mother Rose is a very nice person and surely we will benefit from this transaction from what she will offer us, after taking care of the motherless as she have always stated.
So now try you best possible let’s join hands like one to make this dying woman’s dreams come to pass, Ok? And that is another reason why I have agreed to assist with what I can raise.
Also have in mind that for the process of this document I will need your full name so as to attach to the document as the beneficiary of these funds.
My dear it is important you try and raise USD$ 950 remaining so that we can get the approval of this document, Ok? because I know with out this Change of Ownership document, there is no way progress can be made, as it is like an agreement between you Mother Rose and the Government of Nigeria, making you the new owner of the funds, so I want you to know that when this document is approved in your name, you will be made the beneficiary and will have access to the funds to complete this woman's wish.
For the quick obtaining of this document I will advice you send the balance of USD$ 950 via Western Union Money Transfer with the details as stated below.

RECEIVERS NAME: MR. KENNETH ARINZE ONWUDIWE
ADDRESS: 20 BODE THOMAS STREET. LAGOS-NIGERIA
TEST QUESTION: TO WHOM
TEST ANSWER: TO MY FRIEND

I expect the ten-digit control number along with the senders name for the possibility of receiving the funds.
I assure you that the document will be processed and obtained within 24 hours as I was advised in the high court.
Please let her know I am doing my best here, and also remember that my USD$ 700 will be replaced after you have received Mother Rose funds in your hands.

Regards and God bless,

Lady Toreth Hughes / swissequitorial@london.com

Dear VICTIMNAME,

I write to advice you based on my discussion with the Administrative officer at the bank this morning when I informed him of her demise.

You must be already aware of the high rise in money laundering and terrorist activities in the world today which has brought about strict scrutiny and investigations by monetary bodies especially of financial transactions involving such huge sums both locally and internationally.

In a bid to ensure the success of this transaction, I decided to inquire from the bank as to the most convenient and fast way to transfer the 20,000,000.00 GBP from Lady Toreth Hughes' account to you now that she is dead.

The administrative officer stated that you open a fresh account in your name with the bank, so that the transfer would be seen as an in-house transfer and as such would not attract the attention of strict monetary bodies that supervises the transfer of funds internationally.

So that once the account has been successfully opened and activated, then the funds can easily be transferred to your account with the bank within the 24 hours.

In this regard I want you to contact the bank as soon as possible and open a new account in your name, afterwards the funds would be transferred hitch free to the new account in your name.

Here are the contact details of the bank.
Email: swissequitorial@london.com
Tel: +44709 465 6859
+44709 466 1201
Contact: Ms. Rachael Woods.

Send a copy of your mail to the bank to me too, do well to inform me once you have successfully opened the account so that we may proceed with the transfer.

I hope that I have informed you correctly and I expect that you would act exactly as directed.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS KEPT PERSONAL BECAUSE OF THE STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY WHICH MY CLIENT DEMANDED.
Barr. Danny Alvarez.

Dear Friend,

RIG SUPPLIER in Saudi Arabia for 19 years before he died on the 25th of
August, 2008. We were married for twenty four years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death, he
deposited the sum of 6,143,728.00 US Dollars with a bank In Canada and this
fund is presently with the bank awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and
next of kin to the funds. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last
for the next eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition, I
decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will
utilize this money in good faith.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money. I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this
decision. I don't think I will need any telephone communication in this regard
because of the confidentiality of this transfer. Upon your reply I shall give
you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to
the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. Reply to
my very confidential email address barbara14561@live.comAwait your responds
