One of my least favorite scams is the "dying widow" scam, mainly because you know it's a scam, but you get filled with pity for the imaginary widow at the same time. One of these arrived in my mailbox three and a half weeks ago, so I did my best to put the guy behind it out of commission. The scammer emails as the widow are very long and include pretty much everything this widow ever did in her life. The scammer talk is in plain text, my emails are in bold, and annotations are in italics.
Good day my beloved in Christ,My name is Mother Mary Sander a God fearing woman suffering from Cancer of the breast.

Mother Mary Sander
Dear Mother Sander:
I'm very sorry to hear about your condition. Cancer of the Breast is quite a tragic thing to befall a person. What can I do to help you? I don't know much about money matters, but as I have lots of money, I'll do all I can to help you, and that includes the message you promised. Please tell me the message, as I can tell it is of importance to us both. May the Lord grant you health.
Alex
Dear Beloved ,
I received your message,
I am very sure you can make a lot of difference by replying to my mail, become good friends in our Lord Jesus Christ and see that with greater power comes greater responsibility. Firstly, I think i would start all with a proper entroduction of myself.
I am Mrs. Mary Sanders, a widow to Late Engr Kenneth Sanders. I am 61 years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more than three months according to my doctor, because the stage at which my cancer is (Level 3), it is so critical and also to a very severe stage. My personal physician told me that I may not live for more than 3 months and I am so scared about it. My late husband and i both grew up in a motherless home in Australia we got married and we travel to the United States for our wedding and we decided to stay back there simply because it is a lovely place to stay and we were given a permanent stay after so many years of stay and also we have no child of our own due to one problem and the other, Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against even though i wish i had.
It is late now you know, and age is no longer on my side.but i still believe the lord will send me someone that will make me smile which is you because the bible says in the book of Psalms 119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live, and let me not ashamed of my hope.
Psalms 138: 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me ......
Psalms 145:18 Psalms 57:. 7 My heart is fixed O God my heart is fixed, I will sing & give praise
Psalms51: 17 The sacrifices of God are broken spirit, a broken & contrite heart, O God thou will not despise.
psalms 41: 1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Two of my favorite verses: Philippians 2:27:. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death, but God had mercy on him & that on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow (I always say this in my mind)
So, I now decide to give all of my wealth, by contributing to the development of the motherless baby homes, less privileges, needy, poor, charity homes, widows and Cancer patient too in your country and i just want you to forget about the distance between me and you. I am willing to donate the sum of $ 8,200,000 USD, which is still the major inheritance i have left. I wish you could be someone who i could trust with all my heart, to make this wish of mine come true despite the my prayers over you before i get to contact you.
I really need you to use the funds to help the poor which is very essential and also the widow and cancer patient as me. I know this is hard, but you should keep this saying in your heart, I am like Moses in the Bible. He came to the Red Sea and Pharaoh behind him and no way to turn but God delivered him all by a miraculous deliverance. It will be a miracle from God to be able to help all the dear people God has laid on our hearts, as you have been laid on my heart to do is will.
This is why with God in my heart i contact you and i want you to contact me so we be in contact with all the poor souls out there. Give new lives, hopes and days. I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity and i hope you will agree with this also. I will be praying hard that Satan will not stop this effort. Do contact me and i will tell you more of what you wish to know. Note that the Lord have a great reason for me contacting you and i will be very grateful if you will heed to the call of the Lord by replying to me on my personal email address:
Yours in Christ,
Mother Mary Sander
Dear Mother Sander:
I too feel the need to development motherless baby homes. I do all I can to help the less privileges and needy. In fact, last month, I handed out tents to the less privileges in my city. I feel that my work here would be much improved if I only had a little more money, so your letter came just in time. You can trust me with the funds.
After all, Our Lord says
in Micah 2:1-3, "Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it. They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their money."
(Bible verses right back atcha!)
I would never do such an evil thing to you. Please give me more details, so I may know what to do next.
May the Lord Bless and Keep You:
Alex
Dear Beloved,
I want you to note that i don't know you and i don't even know who you are or where you come from but the Lord whom i serve is so loving and helpful as he never forget his own people i want you to know that i have been thinking of what to do over this funds for some period of years now simply because i know that the money is of no use to me any longer simply because of the stage at which my cancer has gotten. Due to my condition, the doctors don't even permit me to calls and internet. I am only chanced to contact you using the assistance of a nurse in the hospital so that i can fulfill this great mission of God from me to you before i die.
I am a very prayerful person and it was when i was praying sometimes ago that the Lord revealed to me i don't know if i should call it a dream or a vision i was told that i should go into the world and bless the world with what the almighty God has used in blessing i and my late husband. The vision seems so terrific and i was so bothered that i had a day fasting and prayer over it and someone in my church then interpret the meaning of my dreams to me telling me that i am having something which is in need in the world and he want me to use it to bless the world and the person asked me to think very well because it is the voice of the Lord that has spoken to me and all that. (all that BS)
I searched myself very well and i get to remember that i am having the fund which i and my husband had labored for so many years and i contacted the security company as the beneficiary of the funds and i was confirmed the owner of the funds and am asked to come around and get it exactly when am ready to but i should made awareness of when i will be coming so that proper arrangement would be made then but it is a pity i cant go which you know.
I had another dream which made me realize that i must not be in possession of the money and i should go into the world and look for someone in the world to distribute the funds in a Godly manner. So i decided to search with the name related to a woman who took very good care of me when i was dump by my runaway parents. i was brought up in a motherless baby home and so i told my nurse to help me get an internet account after that i decided to search i got about 1065 profiles and i prayed over it and you know whats funny ? among all the profiles i chose it was yours that the Lord has chosen to distribute this funds as a sacrifice from the lord to the world. (Liar. I don't have a 1065 profile. I haven't even heard of the things!)
Hope i read from you soonest and please make sure that you never forget me in your prayers kindly get back to me. Thanks and God bless you and your household make a prayer over it and you will smell it around you the Lord will not come down to call his own people he will send someone to you now he has sent me to you.
My Dear friend I trust you with my Whole Heart and I want you to Do everything in your Power and Help to Use this my Money for the Benefit of the Poor, Less privileged, Cancer Patient, Sick, Handicap, Aged men and Women and So on. NUMBER ONE THING: You can build a Non Governmental Organization in Me and Your Name where people will be Attended to and the community around you can be reached.
NUMBER TWO THING: You are to build Motherless Babies Home (One) in different Locations around you, You should Help different Cancer Patient in different hospital around you as well and as far as you Can go.
NUMBER THREE THING: 10% of the $8,200,000.00 USD goes to You, My Beneficiary and My New Next of Kin.
God bless you abundantly..........in his riches..................Amen
Mother Mary Sanders
Dear Mother Sanders:
It does my heart good to hear back from you! I didn't even know I'd signed up for a 1065 profile, but I suppose that my name being there was the Lord's doing. What a wonderful God we serve!
I am filled with passion to build a Motherless Babies Home in my city and any where else they may be needed. I am going to need funds, but the Lord has provided this as well, bless His name. How can you get the money to me? It’s a huge amount of money; I’m concerned about it going into my bank account.
Your Brother in Christ

Mother Sanders
{Time to contact the bank and act stupid. An analysis of the I.P addresses of Sander's and Peter's emails showed they came from the same area in Vienna. Odd. Mother Mary couldn't possibly be running a racket, not that sweet little old lady ;-) }
I’m writing to you about some money that your client Mrs. Mary Sanders is leaving me. She wishes me to use it for charity and I intend to use it for motherless babies homes and the assistance of cancer victims. I heard your bank is giving away free laptops. Can you confirm?
Alex Gaarsland
Attention: Mr. Alex Gaarsland,
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail and also to confirm that we have the authority of Mother Mary Sanders, mandating us to process and transfer into your nominated bank account the total sum of Eight Million,Two Hundred Thousand United States dollars only(US$8.2 Million), being a bequeathment from her estate.
Consequently, it is advised you forward to us your bank account details, contact address and direct telephone number. It is also imperative that you forward to us through attachment a scanned copy of either your drivers license or international passport. (I am not going to do that this time.)
I am honestly not aware of any free laptop giveaway.
Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
Mr. Dominic Peters.
Toronto, Canada.
Dear Mr. Dominic Peters:
Are you sure that there is no free laptop giveaway? I heard I was getting a free gift for doing my business with your bank as a first-time customer. Please clear up this discrepancy, as it is importance that this money is released to me. I need to use it to construct a motherless babies home and to help cancer victims.
Alex Gaarsland
Attention: Mr. Alex Gaarsland,
I thought i was very explicit enough in my previous e-mail. There is absolutely no free laptop to the best of my knowledge. Please do not mention a free laptop ever again!
Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
Mr. Dominic Peters.
Dear Mr. Peters:
Your bank has said they were giving away free laptops. Don’t be angry with me, I can’t help it if the left hand never tells the right hand anything. I’d like an Lenovo 360 in red please.
Alex Gaarsland
Attn: Mr. Alex Gaarsland,
THERE IS NO LAPTOP GIVEAWAY, THERE IS NO LENOVO, THERE IS NO NOTHING GOING ON AT THIS BANK. THERE ARE NO HANDS TO TELL YOU ANYTHING.
I HAVE SAID TIME AND TIMES AGAIN THERE IS NO FREE LAPTOP GIVEAWAY. WHAT DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND.
Mr. Dominic Peters
(love the ALL CAPS Dom!)
Dear Mr. Peters:
And there I was thinking you were having a laptop give away over there. Stupid me. By the way, could you give me your bank's website so I could read more about you?
Alex Gaarsland
(Something bizarre happened here. The "bank" did not write back for three days. I may have scared them by requesting a website that doesn't exist)
Dear Mr. Peters:
I haven't heard from you in an age. I trust you're still alive?
Alex Gaarsland
(Two more days passed, and then - )
Attention: Mr. Alex Gaarsland,
I already notified you of what is required from you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Dominic Peters.
What did you want from me? I forgot. (This is true by the way. A week of nothingness doesn't do good for business transactions I decided, "The stupider I look, the better this goes)
Alex Gaarsland
Okay. Noted. (Unfortunately, I think Peters may have caught my stupidity. I didn't understand this email at all)
Please tell me what you require from me, so that we may complete this transaction. All that malarkey with the free computers made me forget.
Alex Gaarsland

Dear Mr. Peters:
By all means I want you to proceed. By the way, my computer was hacked by malware recently. They told me it may have come through email.
Do you know anything about this? I think I need a new computer, and I’d like to participate in your free laptop giveaway.
Alex Gaarsland
(Later that day, I received this formal and polite letter from Peters)
Go die
Mr. Dominic Peters

It has been five days and Peters has not emailed me back. He probably will never email me again, but at least he spent three weeks going in circles.
