The message below (shown in yellow) is an example of the “dying widow” scam. The sender claims to be a very wealthy person dying of cancer, with no heirs to give her fortune too. If you would just help distributing it to charity, you can have a generous cut — what could be better!
Alas, there’s really no wealthy widow and no fortune. There’s just a scammer who will string you along, get you to pay “transfer fees” and “bank charges,” and then disappear, never to be heard from again.
