  I am contacting you with all due respect on a business transaction that will 
be very beneficial to both of us after its execution.
  We had a foreign client Ciro Alarco Gil who deposited $10,750,000 million 
usd with our bank but unfortunately died in plane crash with families in 
2007.
  His fund is presently dormant for claims and had noone coming for the claims 
as the next of kin/foreign beneficiary/business partner for considerable 
years now.
  A situation I have closely monitored considering my position in the bank for 
several years from the period of his death, nobody has shown up as the next 
of kin/foreign beneficiary/business partner since 2007.
  I now solicit for your assistance to present you as the legitimate next of 
kin/foreign beneficiary/business partner to the late Ciro Alarco Gil so that 
you can take care of his deposited $10,750,000 million usd.
  In that instance, I will later visit your country so that I can have my 
share after the bank has authorize the transfer of the cash in to your 
foreign account.
  Note that I will help you with every detail that you will need to receive 
this money from the bank.
  To begin, please include the following details in your return letter to me:
  Full name:, Nationality:, Mobile number:, Home Telephone number:, Current 
residential address:, Occupation:, Age:.

Your immediate attention to this matter will be highly appreciated.

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.
