This message, now circulating on the web, is a jumble of all kinds of different scams all rolled up into one. It’s basic approach is reverse psychology: We know you were promised money before, and never got it. But that wasn’t a scam, we promise! We were just having management problems, you see, but now everything’s OK and your money is ready. It doesn’t seem to matter whether you were supposed to get a lottery payment, or an inheritance, or a Western Union transfer — no matter what money you were owed, we have it ready for you:
