Hi there,

My name is Aisha daughter of Shukri Ghanem. We fled from Libya last year
following the uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi.

My father=E2=80=99s death is no longer news but my mother's deteriorating h=
ealth made
me want to do this despite the fact that I barely know you. I believe in my=

late father=E2=80=99s philosophy: =E2=80=9Crisk many things in life; but no=
t life itself=E2=80=9D. I
believe in taking business risk with strangers mainly to escape the spotlig=
ht
and I hope you can do this for my family.

I have a rather unusual proposition having found you on the internet in
desperation and I am here to surprise you with this extreme offer you can
easily afford. It=E2=80=99s something that I believe could provide a great =
deal of
profit to you if you give me a moment of your time. I would like to propose=
 a
joint venture with you because we are looking at investment opportunities i=
n
your area and we need a local presence to carry out our plans. Everything
depends on you and ultimately how self-motivated you are.

Of course, you may simply have reservations about teaming with us when you=

don=E2=80=99t know my family. Please be assured that I want nothing more th=
an what
could be a very profitable joint venture and a lasting business relationshi=
p.

Please write back and I'll explain everything in full detail.

Thank you.

Best Regard,
Aisha Ghanem.

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.
