Dear friend,

I am Paul Oladele,the former Personal Assist to Cheif James Ibori,the former 
Governor of oil rich Delta State of Nigeria between 1999 and 2007 after 
serving in office to two democratic terms.

My former boss was declared wanted by the Nigerian Government recently after 
being accused of corruption but James Ibori does not plan to stand trial 
either in Uk or Nigeria where he is being accused so he was smuggled out of 
Nigeria to Dubai where he was arrested and interrogated in Dubai by the 
International Police (INTERPOL).He has been granted bail with his travel 
documents confiscated while the United Arab Emirates [Dubai] authorities 
consider extradition requests from the UK government.PLEASE CLICK TO READ

I am very worried because i would not want anything that would make me poor 
again in life so i solicit your assistance in transferring the sum of $55m 
entrusted on me by my former boss.Please,i need your understanding here as i 
am willing to share the funds with you on 60% for me and 40% for you.I am not 
greedy but my worst fear is becoming poor.

I really do not consider prolong writing as all i need is one who is 
understandable,honest and above all,one whose financial capacity can be able 
to accommodate such huge sum in his bank account without raising alarm or 
suspicion through the banking authority of his country.

Please,i need this to be strictly confidential for security purpose and would 
appreciate if you would forward your full name,company address,telephone 
numbers,a copy of your international passport/drivers license,your official 
identification card and banking details.

I shall give you further details following your response in acceptance of my 
proposal.

Thanks.

Paul Oladele

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
