From: peter.bondpeningtons@hotmail.co.uk

My name is Peter Bond, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole 
executor to the late Mr. Craig Kerr   hereinafter referred to as my client. 
My client and his immediate family members died in a car in East London on 
the 5Th of November 2006. He was a Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron 
Texaco Oil here in the United Kingdom and Left behind a deposit of Five 
Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pound Sterling only (5.8million) with 
a bank. I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to locate 
any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his 
abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail. 
 I have professional reasons to use a legal means to present a next of kin of 
my deceased client. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance 
with the laws of the land. On this note I decided to search for a credible 
person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I contact you, that 
with your consent, present you to the "Trustee" as my late client's family 
members as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a 
next of kin of my client. Please get in touch with me by my alternative email  
peter.bondpeningtons@hotmail.co.uk

Regards.
Mr Peter Bond

[There is a real Peter Bond and a Penningtons, but this is neither. --Ed.]

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.
