May I laugh rather loud at this one?

These crooks are targeting people who have already lost money to 419 scams. The Nigerians are world champions when it comes to cheating people out of their money for bogus lottery prizes and abandoned money in accounts somewhere in Africa.

Now they want previous victims believe that they will finally get their money back. Of course they will only be cheated once again if they believe this rubbish.
