Scams piling on scams

Of the various scammers and bottom-feeder, there are few lower than those running the "recovery scams."
Recovery scams are carefully crafted to appear to provide assistance to scam victims in the recovery of the victims' lost funds and, sometimes, the capture and prosecution of the original scammers.
There have been recovery scams created behind several of the 'Nigerian' scams, the NESARA scam, several of the 'free money' and mortgage/debt elimination scams and they all have two things in common.
First, they all share the wooshing sound as they suck even more money out of the pockets of the original victims.
Second, they never produce anything other than excuses as to why more time and money is needed to fund the recovery effort and punish the original scammers.
The common philosophy of the people who organize these scams is simple: If someone can be fooled and scammed once, they can be taken again.
