Here's a good one for any Dr. Suess readers out there in web land. We labeled this supposed spam scam The Spam Scam Sympathy Spam Scam.......Sam I am.
The email subject catches your attention since you've received so many scams.
Email Subject: Good News to Scam Victims
Enticing subject. Could it be possible that someone has finally caught these scammers and shut down their operation? Is there some new program that blocks all of these scams? Not hardly.
This Nigerian scammer is claiming you get 1 million dollars from the Nigerian Government because they are embarrassed by all of the bank scams which have been committed through their country. Including you...they are giving away 100 victims 1 million dollars.
The Big Question is....Would someone who's been victimized by a Nigerian Bank Scam actually reply to this and get scammed twice? We sure hope not unless they're going for the Darwin awards.
Once again there are grammatical and math errors. While promising 100 people will get the million they later claim 84 have been paid and 20 are left. That's 104. Maybe if you hurry they won't notice the 4 million dollar mistake.
Also, who would believe Nigeria would pay out 100 million dollars? Based on their GDP you would think that amount would be a stretch. Anyway...........
