Okay,

thanks for mailing back,I am a marine engineer on a rig offshore and do not 
have much time on me and i am buying this for Dad, i am at sea right now,Can 
i pay you $21,800 for it?.I can only pay through Paypal at the moment as i 
don't have access to my bank account online,but i have it attached to my 
Paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using Paypal to pay,all i will 
need is your Paypal email address to make the payments,as you don't have a 
Paypal account yet,its pretty easy to set one up at www.paypal.com  i will be 
expecting your email.I have a Shipping company in (Atlanta Georgia in USA) 
that will come for the pick up after payment has been sorted. Waiting to read 
from you soon.

                              Kane.

                              Thanks

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.
