Scammers are using the good name of the recently deceased scientist Stephen Hawking to lure potential victims into a 419 scam, complete with a quiz and large cash prize for the winner. The email links to a Verge article it says will provide the answers to the three questions.

So a round of applause for our fake email friend for making me read something needlessly.”]
