419 Scam: Scam Victim Compensation Payments
- 1-12-2009
- Categorized in: 419 Scams
This scam intends to scam you by saving you from another scam by giving you money.
If you have already lost some money in a 419 scam (or lottery scam variant), it is very unlikely that you would fall for such a scam again.
The biggest joke about this scam is that they are giving away 1,000,000 x $0.75million away to "scam victims". In total, the sum that they are giving away is 750 billion dollars.
Wow, US President Mr Obama's financial rescue package is only worth $700 billions and he only gets 50% so far at this point of writing. Way to go, scammers.
In reality, these money do not exist and the scammers are going after the "diplomatic courier services charges", which will be paid by scam victims who thought that paying this money will get them $750,000 as promised.
The truth is that if the scammers really sent out 1,000,000 such emails, and assuming that 5% of the receipients bite the bait, the scammers will receive 50,000 individual payments of "courier charges". And assuming that each courier charges is $100, the scammers will get $5million.... wow.
NEVER SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE SCUMS!!!!!
You may think that $100 is worth a try to see if this is real. But it is not real and you are losing that $100 for good. Don't waste the money and never ever send any money (not even a single cent) to these scumbags!
Although we don't normally read all the details of such scam mails, there are other parts that are "quite interesting" (highlighted in red). Ofcourse, we cannot blame them for the broken English because their trademark.

I have been scamed for $800 thinking that , upon receiving proof of united nations courier, david Nicolay, that I would receive reimbursement of funds that were scammed from me before from a comoany in Malaysia. I know I was stupid but there was a lot of so called legitimate evidence sent to me. They still contact me for more money and then state that they will take me to court because I called them scammers. Please don't buy into this under no circumstances. You never have to send money if you are entitled to money.
