Hello!
I'm sorry you're getting the mail from me at this Point in time,my
family and I came down here to Antalya,Turkey for a short vacation
unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel we stayed,all
cash credit cards and cell were stolen off  but luckily for us we still
have our passports with us. I have been to the embassy and the Police
here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves pretty
soon from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and
the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.Please
be so kind to reply back so I can tell you what to do and how to get
some cash to us. I'm freaked out at the moment Pat

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.
