SCAM VICTIM REIMBURSEMENT - Don't believe it!

This one is good. You could laugh about it, but it's not really funny.

The 419 scam artists have put a twist on what they are doing. Instead of offering a money transfer or lottery prize, they are saying they sending money to fraud victims.

The funny thing about it is that it works exactly the same way as all the other Scam E-Mails. You end up by paying them money.

By the way, getting money out of Nigeria is not that easy. There is always someone who wants a commission before they allow a transfer out of the country.
