    May I use this medium to inform you that we have for sales at a very 
attractive rate 500kgs of 23karat gold in stock and ready to subsequently 
supply between 50 and 100kgs monthly? We currently wish to sell at 
US$34,500/kg. and might reconsider according to the quantity.

   Brief introduction, our company is a licensed gold mining/sales company in 
Ghana West Africa and we have been in business for over ten years. We have 
always sold our product in small quantities locally but today we wish to 
expand by purchasing mining equipments that will help increase our annual 
turnover. We are searching for reliable huge purchasers or investor

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.
