This is the newest scam that has come across my desk. My colleague has dubbed it the "double-dipping in the stupid" scam.

Special Notice

Dear Citizen,

This is an official email from Bawag International Bank which is located here in Zurich - Switzerland.

We would like to inform you that there was a conference meeting between the United Nations and the World Bank Organization in other to discuss how to stop the high rate of internet and cyber scams and also how to compensate the scammed victims of 2007 - 2008 whom scammer's and fraudsters have kept in bad condition and made their Xmas and New Year a bad memory for them and their beloved.

They also planed on a budget to make an international free anti spam software to be able to block all unknown emails from scammers except known emails from your known friends can be allowed through the software to get into your inbox, and with this idea the rate of scam would be less for all internet users.

In conclusion they deposited the sum of 20 Billion U.S Dollars to be used for compensating 2007 - 2008 scammed victims so that they may be able to meet up to their needs again in life, while conducting the search for 2007 - 2008 scammed victims your email came up as a scammed victim and you have been elected for compensation of USD$1,000.000.00 from the United Nation & The World Bank Organization.

'Double-dipping in the stupid' is a perfect term for it. Argh.

They also planed on a budget

Because you know, taking thin sheets of wood off a solidly-built scam like this with a sharp flat blade can be expensive. All that fine-tuning and attention to detail, you know.

Yikes. Folks still fall for this? Between the bank name, spelling errors, poor english, grammatical Inconsistencies, and a very suspicious looking login information.... sheesh

In a way, this is genius. "How do we find people ignorant enough who would fall for this scheme?" "Let's target people who fell for it once already."

It's like a want ad for stupidity.
