Subject: Problems... Please Help!!!

Good morning,
I hope you get this on time, I made a trip to Istanbul and had my bag
stolen from me with my passport and personal effects therein. The
embassy has just issued me a temporary passport but I have to pay for a
ticket and settle my hotel bills with the Manager. I have made contact
with my bank but it would take me 3-5 working days to access funds in
my account, the bad news is my flight will be leaving very soon but i
am having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't
let me leave until i settle the bills, I need your help/LOAN
financially and I promise to make the refund once i get back home, you
are my last resort and hope, Please let me know if i can count on you
and i need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way i
can reach you.

Thanks

Mario Pagnoni

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.
