Scammer email posted Mon Aug 23 07:11:20 2010

Subject: Mail from Barr Wilson.
Date: Monday 23 August 2010
From: "Barr. Wilson Matata" , 
barr.wilsonmatata@gmail.com
To: undisclosed recipients:

With all due respect.

My name is Wilson Matata and an attorney by profession, in my quest to find a 
reliable trustee to manage the assets/estate of my late client valued at only 
US$11,000,000.00 (Eleven Million United States Dollars), I contacted you and 
it is the only reason why you are receiving this email from me.

I shall be willing to supply you with more detailed information concerning 
this business project upon hearing back from you.

I have no intention whatsoever to delve into your private life considering the 
fact that you have never had any communication with me in the past, but due 
to the nature of this business project based on the fact that I lack the 
locus-stand to assume the role of the trustee or appoint any of my relation 
to become the trustee by virtue of the facts and circumstances surrounding 
this project, I am left with no other choice, but to carry out a discreet 
search for a reputable person outside the shores of my country and 
consequently seek your stewardship.

If you wish to render your selfless service, but very rewarding, do provide me 
with your telephone numbers and home address via email.

I shall provide you with more detailed information upon hearing back from you. 
Thank you, all inconvenience is regretted.

Best regards,

Barr Wilson Matata.
Principal Partner

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, or by email form.
