WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAT...well played

awesome, i like!!

Funny, I was just referring to a line that stuck out at me and everybody is just so amazed that I get an Amazon account reinstated.

Check out this new twist on the Nigerian Scammer email I just got, that I'm being compensated for all the previous Nigerian Scammer emails I've received in the past! This is on the borderline...

How are you today?
The below payment has been awarded to you by the
Nigeria Government/World Bank to compensate you on the past experience had
with the Nigeria scammers.

I write to inform you that we have already sent you $10,000.00 through
Western Union as we have been given the mandate to transfer your full
compensation payment total sum of $250,000.00 via Western Union by the
Government.

I have on a good authority email you the MTCN and sender's details to
enable you pick up the first $10,000.00,USD and confirm receipt to us so
as to enable us wire the next USD10,000.00 by tomorrow and subsequent ones
since we can only send USD10,000.00 a day.

Please pick up this information and get to any western union in your
country to pick up the $10,000.00 and email the Western Union outlets
incharge of the payment so that they could send you another payment
tomorrow.


Call or Email them once you picked up the $10,000.00 today, if there is
any problem with them paying you make sure to contact this Western outlet
with the information given to you above.

Below is the western union information for pick up:

MTCN: 017-591-6070
Sender's Name: Micheal Wells
Question: Colour
Answer: Pink
Amount: $10,000.00
They will be expecting your call once you pick up $10,000.00.

WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER

I'm not sure what the scam is here, but I'm sure that it IS a scam. If the Nigerian government were to pay each person who ever received a scam email $250k, they would need several times more than the total amount of money than exists in the world.

make sure you give them your bank account too :)

I can only assume that on the hope that you try to collect this you then find out the WU details don't exist and so you email them back (the sender was marked as info@westernunion.com but it would be a different reply to address) then they either try and bilk some details out of you or get you to cash some bad checks or something along those lines.

Anybody who wants to try and collect my WU compensation is welcome. :)

Nice dude.. I jsut got my reviewed account back like an hour ago... Yay!
