Nigerian 419 Scam

[Admin]

You've probably seen these types of emails before. You know...the emails that try to scam you out of your money. These emails originate from Nigeria, and the topics are usually similar. They promise to pay you a fee in exchange for transferring a large sum of money via your bank account. The whole scam is based on stealing private information about your bank account.

Well, here is a new one that I wanted to share with you. This one is kind of different because it tries to use reverse psychology. They claim to be reimbursing victims of the Nigerian 419 Scams. Haha...what a joke!

Here is the email:
