Subject: SHIPPING ARRANGEMENT?
From: christopherbrown001@gmail.com

Thanks for the mail
 I  will instruct my client to issue the check of $4,600 this week including 
the shipping charges like i told you before that i will handle the shipping 
procedure myself because i have my private shipper that will come down to 
your base for the pick up procedure.
All you need to do after receive  the payment is to deduct your asking price 
which is $1,500,00 after the fund has been cleared at the bank and send the 
remaining fund to the shipper  via Western Union Money Transfer in other for 
her to come down to your base for the pick up procedure. After the payment is 
made out... i will send you the shipper Western Union Money Transfer Details 
where to forward the fund too.
I will be glad to read from you soon.

Mr Steven

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.
