This hilarious scam is trying to scam people who have already fallen prey to one 419 scam.

Besides the over-the-top story, they mention all the major scams (they're just missing some Banana Republic's General who needs to get rid of his ill-gotten riches) and bring in the IMF (as if they have time for scammers).

Oh, and making the FBI an issuer of credit cards.

You know what they say:

"Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me."

(Yes, this is unashamed victim blaming. So sue me.)
