HELLO,

Am Mr David Kao. I want to place an order from you. I know the
difficulties encountered when shipping internationally, But that will not be
a problem because i am registered with a shipping company whom i have used
severally without any delay nor problems with my goods. Before i place these
order, i want you to notify me if i am able to place the order and most
important: If i can make payment with my credit cards Visa/Master card because 
that is the only way we are set for payment now without no delay. I don't 
place online orders can i e-mail my ORDER needed then you can give me a quote 
here and make charges to my cards manually on your end ? Pls Clarify.

Looking forward to your swift response then we can proceed further as soon
as possible.

Warmest Regards.

Mr David Kao

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.
