Default Scam within a Scam.........

Others may have received this which is a new twist to the usual Nigerian special. Made me smile Usual perfect English of course......

============

This is to bring to your notice that we are delegated from the UNITED NATIONS in Central Bank to pay 150 victims of scam $150,000 USD (One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars Only each).You are listed and approved for this payment as one of the scammed victims to be paid this amount, get back to this office as soon as possible for the immediate payments of your $150,000 USD compensations funds. On this faithful recommendations,we want you to know that during the last U.N. meetings held at Abuja, Nigeria, it was alarming on the money lost by various individuals to the scams artists operating in syndicates all over the world today.
