This one is pretty common, and used by those who don't run re-scams on their own victims. The more successful scammers keep lists, and will contact their vics a few months after they twig to the scam, claiming to be either government officials or police wanting to return their money. A depressing number of victims get sucked right back in and taken for another ride. One of the more original scams I ever saw was a lotto scam with a twist run by a scammer gang out of Canada. It was a snail mail scam that hit the US (several states) where people would receive a 'winning lotto notification' in the amount of $250,000 and a check for around $2500. The notice contained a phone number to call. The check was, of course, to cover the 'fees' for winning an out of the country lottery. Typical check scam, but lots of people fell for it.
