Scammed Victim Compensation?

Ok this one was just so funny I just had to share it with you all. Seems the scam business is not doing so well these days. Instead of trying to tell me I have won the lottery or my long lost relative has died they are now posing as "Scam Victim Compensation". I guess they are gambling on the fact that everyone is a scam victim of sorts and will fall for this fake compensation. Take a look..

I love how they put disclaimers at the end of their emails in the hopes of making them look more legit lol. Let's start simple and with some common sense shall we? If I had contacted the Internet Crime Complaint Center to report a scam I would have been asked to provide the following:
---
* Your name
* Your mailing address
* Your telephone number
* The name, address, telephone number, and Web address, if available, of the individual or organization you believe defrauded you.
* Specific details on how, why, and when you believe you were defrauded.
* Any other relevant information you believe is necessary to support your complaint.

So, why would they need most of that information again? Why would they want my occupation? What on earth could they possibly need that for?? Besides, if ANYONE is going to compensate me for a scam loss it would be the person who scammed me in the first place after my lawyer and I destroy them in court lol.

This email is a sad attempt to get me to contact them where they will most likely ask for my banking information to send me my $950,000.00 compensation (the dollar amount itself proves it to be an obvious fake, i mean really) and instead of seeing deposits of my compensation I would start to see random, and possibly large, withdraws from my account causing me overdraft fees and a long process of trying to prove that I did not authorize those amounts to be removed. Would I ever see that money again? Who knows? Is that a chance you're willing to take?

Thanks for reading!
