I've been collecting my favourite spam subject lines and will post them eventually.
This one, however, deserved a post of its own. The idea is well elaborated, the extra link that does look like a UN website link leads to a hidden *.exe trojan file is smart, and the guy who invented a new UN Commission deserves a nod for creativity. Enjoy!
REFUND PAYMENT FROM UNCC
United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC)
In Affiliation with Barack Obama Campaign to Assist Scammed Individuals In The Settlement of Disputes through Banque Int' Du Benin.
Attention: Honorable Beneficiary
I wish to congratulate you for the approval of the compensation payment of $500,000.00 USD by this commission. The United Nation Compensation Commission (UNCC) was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the UN Security Council. Its mandate is to retrieve lost fund through various law agents and also to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damages suffered as a direct result of Internet Fraud.
The UNCC in conjunction with the Barack Obama Campaign on the 12th of October 2008 organized a confederation meeting which ended 2 weeks later with the Secretary General to the UNITED NATIONS. This meeting was first held on the 8th of April 2003 by the then secretary to the UN. You can view this page for your perusal then do the needful by contacting the paying agent accordingly.

I don't know when these scammers will stop they should be reported
Congratulations :)
It would be great if UN could help the victims of internet fraud :)
What is truly interesting that the first meeting was held on april 2003 while the second meeting was held on october 2008. They seem to be too busy.... HEHE :)
I am sure that someone who has recently had a new internet connection would fall for this fraud , I have heard about people who have were victims of letters such as:
"My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$4,123, 000.00 in Finance Firm with my name as the next of kin. However, I shall forward you with the necessary information of the deposit on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer and investment of the fund in your country"
It actually works :)
And why does it always have to be Benin, Liberia, Nigeria or Ivory Coast?
I really don't know why! Perhaps Benin is the HQ of the new UNCC? :-D
I remember reading an article about how rational it is to spam a gazillion people with such a stupid story: that if ONE out of 10 million people falls for it, it becomes cost-effective to spam.
Crazy.
Mugu all of dem dey.
If I see one with a Palestine angle, I'd be pleasantly surprised. Disgusted, but surprised, nonetheless.
Not only cost effective but it will also waste our time
