A second look at “save 419 scam victim” scams, and it sounds really stupid:

“On this faithful recommendations, we want you to know that during the last U.N. meetings held at Abuja, Nigeria, it was alarmed so much by the world in the meetings on the lose of funds by various individuals to the Nigerian scams artists operating in syndicates all over the world today. In other to compensate victims, the U.N Body in conjunction with the Nigerian Government is now paying 150 victims of this operators $1,000,000.00 each in accordance with the U.N. recommendations.”

150 x $1,000,000 = 150,000,000 (150 million dollars payout), do you think such a news would come on an email. Thanks to google (everybody uses it), there isn’t any news like this in the presses around the world. And there would never be. This is a scam.
