Scammer email posted Tue Apr 10 00:49:28 2012

Subject: Urgent!!!!!!
Date: Tuesday 10 April 2012
From: Dick McBrady 
To: 

I know this is very sudden and a lot to ask for but i am in a serious fix and 
in need of your help. I made a quick trip to Cyprus a few days ago and just 
last night my bag containing my phone, money and some personal stuff got 
stolen. My bank card is missing and I can't access the ATM as planned. I 
contacted the bank to report the  theft but It would take 3-5 working days to 
retrieve my Debit and credit cards. Please can I get a loan for $2800 to 
cover my expenses? You'll have it as soon as I get home next week. Please let 
me know if you can help so I tell you how to get it across to me..
Thanks
 Paula McBrady

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.
