Stanley Mc Chrystal. Presently in states. 

The deal worth $25m united states dollars and after we have all share the

my status as a US General, I can not be able to move this huge funds to my 
country to avoid further interrogation or face any kind of probation by my 
country government.

I want you to know that I have make an arrangement with the United Nation 
security company in Iraq for the movement of the consignment to take this 
consignment to united nation regional head office in the Mideast which was 
located in Egypt- Cairo.  

I will offer to you %30 from the whole amount and we also have to keep a low 
profile of communication until we achieve our aims and ultimate goals.

Can you be able to help me receive this huge funds in you name? So that I will 
continue facilitating the process of moving the boxes to you and please note 
that we also have to keep this honorable deal a top secret because I do not 
want anyone to know about it due to my present position in the US Army.

I await your urgent response as soonest as you can

Best regards.

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.
