Hi,Cpt. Cpt.Stephen Pyros

I know you will be surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to you. 
My name is Cpt. Stephane Pyros , a member of the U.S. ARMY USARPAC Medical 
Team, which was deployed to Iraq.

I will like to share some highly personal classified information about my 
personal experiences and roles which I played in the pursuit of my career 
serving under the U.S 1st Armored which was at the fore-front of the war in 
Iraq.

For now I will hold back certain information for security reasons until you 
have found the time to visit the BBC website stated below to enable you have 
an insight into what I intend sharing with you, believing that it will be of 
your desired interest one-way or the other.

Also, I will appreciate a response from you after visiting the above website 
to enable us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your 
understanding. I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to 
you without knowing truly if you will misconstrue the importance and decide 
to go public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence 
of this message is strictly for mutual benefit between you and I and nothing 
more.

I will be vivid and coherent in my next message in this regards, meanwhile, 
please send me an email confirming that you have visited the site and that 
you have understood my intentions? I will await your thoughts via my personal 
email .

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Cpt.Stephen Pyros

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.
