Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU
Date: Friday 02 December 2011
From: privatelink5 
To: undisclosed-recipients:

Good Morning Dear...

My name is Mrs Victor Osu, and I am a banker. It is true that we have not met 
each others in person, but I strongly believe that no trust, no friendship in 
every business. 

I have a deceased customer's pending fund, which I am his personal financier 
adviser before his accidental death, that being the main reason why I alone 
working in the bank here, know much about the existence of this fund and the 
secrets surrounding this money.

But before I disclose the full details to you, I will like to know your 
interest and willingness to assist me by reverting back to me on 
private@info.al with your :

Private Email ID...............

Age..........

Private Phone no................... for further confidential details 

about the said fund.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Mrs Victor Osu.

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.
