But..at least the Gov'ment(of OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO) is gonna bail me out....
I got scammed by someone saying I had goo-gobs of cash in a foreign bank, and all they needed to transfer it to me was some personal info. Turns out, it was just a big lie...I didn't get ANY money.
Then, today, I get this notice that the Bank is gonna REPAY me, since it was a big scam, and they really feel sorry for me....

Attention the email id owner.
Dear Beneficiary
 
My name is Robert Sango  from Ministry Of Finance Burkina Faso (Head office). This is to bring to your notice that after the conference meeting we had with reparation committee from other countries in west Africa; we realized that you are among of those that involved in scam victim which (United Nation) submitted their list name to our office for the Compensation project.
 
This compensation is for those that involved in scam victims which we got the reports and their list with emails and your email id is among. The reparation committee stands for this project and also instructed this ministry of finance here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso to forward your file to WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER DEPARTMENT to pay you the sum of US$500,000.00( Five hundred thousand dollars) for compensation via western union. But due to impossibility and delays of  your fund transfer through the western union network, we have credited your total of $500,000.00 valid fund into an ATM MASTER CARD and we have paid the re-activation fee and the delivery of the ATM Card To you, We paid it because the ATM Card worth of $500,000.00 which we have registered it delivery yesterday has less than Seven days to expire in the custody of the FedEx Company and when it expires, the money will go into Federal Government treasury account.
 
With that we decided to help you pay off the money so that the ATM Card will not expire. Now we give you this notification to contact FedEx Express with your physical address you desire the delivery to be made so that they can deliver your ATM Card to your designated address without any delay.
 
Like we stated earlier, the crediting re-activation, delivery and the company registration charges has been paid, but we did not pay their official keeping fees since they refused, they refused and the reason is that they do no know when you are going to contact them and the demurrage might have increased by then, They said that their keeping fees is $25 per day and we deposited it yesterday 30th November, 2010.
 
Below is the Contact Information of the FedEx,
Express Customer Service Director
Mr.Jonas Kaboure,
Fedex Email: fedex.service2000@live.com
Telex: 00226 76 38 95 73
 
Contact them today and also send the security official keeping charge to avoid increase of their fees and let us know once you receive your ATM card.
 
Important Notice, your ATM CARD package was registered as a gift so that the diplomatic Agent will not know the content of your package okay.
 
Yours Sincerely,
MR.ROBERT SANGO
F.A CO-ORDINATOR
MINISTRY OF FINANCE QURTER
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.

It never stops! Just how stupid do they think people are? On second thought, don't answer that!

It's just as simple as sharing your email address with a friend who does the "forward to all" chain thing I guess. At least, recent communications with an aquaintance led to emailing and all of the sudden people from all over the world want to give me "million$ dollar$"Big smile. It's gonna be a wonderful Christmas Wink.

Amazing... and there are some people who actually believe this garbage.  If no one ever fell for it, they wouldn't do it.  I guess, as they say, there's one born every minute (and these guys are looking for him).
