I heard there's this big scam that claims to recover money for people 
who have lost money on other scams.

Of course, 99% of all the scams on the 'net are chain letters or other 
similar pyramid schemes. For a while, there was this phone number 
pyramid scheme all over Usenet. They told you to call "Canada for $1.50" 
  except that they gave you the country code for the Seychelle Islands 
in the Indian Ocean. Recently, I saw an 800# on the 'web for a similar 
pyramid.
