   "419 Scam" was the word-of-the-day on Paul McFedries' THE WORD SPY about a week ago.  I'd drop the last word ("scam") and enter "419."  It comes from the Nigerian penal code law against trickery.  From a sign at this Lagos Airport Internet Cafe:

NO SMOKING!
NO PORNOGRAPHIC ACCESS!
NO "419" MAILS!
