Subject: Business Venture

Greetings,

I would like to discuss a business proposal that has the potential for
significant earnings.

I am currently employed with a privately held manufacturing company. My
company has demand for a specific material that is vital to its processing=

operations. We are currently purchasing this material at a price well over=

the manufacturing cost.

I would like to explore the possibility of having you stand-in as a new
supplier, providing this material while retaining the same profit margins. =
My
role would be to introduce you to my company, as the supplier, and to obtai=
n
a contract between you and my employer. I have already discussed sourcing
possibilities with the existing manufacturer, leaving room for attractive
profit margins. What is still required in order to materialize this venture=

is an individual who is at arm's length to oversee these supply chain
transactions. The required capital to purchase our initial order from the
manufacturer will be funded strictly from myself and no additional investme=
nt
will be required from yourself. With that said, we can discuss terms and
commission structure in the near future.

I understand that your experience with does not directly relate to my field=
=2E
However, this venture is more in line with your personal capabilities rathe=
r
than your professional experience.

Please send a return email to verify your contact number and to schedule th=
e
most convenient time to discuss these possibilities in detail. I look forwa=
rd
to speaking with you soon.

Kindest Regards,
Barry Crawford=20

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.
