Dearest One,

I felt greatly impressed after going through your profile; I confirmed
that you will be an honest person to help me invest my inherited
properties in your country.

I am Miss Lorraine Faltus foreign nationality of Indonesia, I contacted
you based on my proposition, my mother just passed away in the month of
June 2011. Before my father's death they had left a huge some amount of
money and 200KGS of Gold kept in a bank for safe keeping here in
Accra-Ghana. it is by his grace that the bank has summoned me to come
forward with my guardianship for the claims due to my age. I brought
this vital information to you believing that you will come to my aid
with great assistance and opinion in the investing of these properties
in your country, all I want from you is to give me foreign assistance
to receive these funds and Gold to a safer place in your country as my
foreign legal trustee to avoid loosing them here because I am a
foreigner and my parents are no more but all legal claims documents
were given to me with acknowledgment from the deposited bank.

I have plans to continue my Education and do investment in your country
with your support assistance in businesses, like real estate and
industrial production where the funds will keep growing for our
benefit.

Please contact me urgently for further vital details

May God bless you
Miss Lorraine Faltus.

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.
