 Please Reply!! Dear

 Respected Friend,

       With Due Respect and Humanity, I was compelled to write to you 
 under a humanitarian ground, however, this is not mandatory nor will I 
 in any manner compel you to honor against your will.

 Please I am contacting you to let you know my desire to establish a 
 charity foundation in your country with this sum of US$3.5Million (Three 
 Million five hundred thousand United States dollars) which I inherited 
 from my late husband  (Dr.Alfred D.Makinze) It is my desire to see that 
 this money is invested to any organization of your choice in your 
 country and distributed each year among the charity organizations, 
 motherless baby's home, mosques, churches, Schools, supporting destitute 
 aged men and women or whatever you may have in mind that will be to the 
 benefit of the less fortunate.

 I took this decision because I was raised from a motherless baby's home 
 and Presently, I'm hospitalized here in (London) where I am undergoing 
 treatment for my upcoming breast cancer surgery operation. Please reply 
 as soon as possible, confirming your acceptance to this proposition so 
 that I will give you all the relevant information that will authorize 
 the release and transfer of the fund to you as my duly assigned 
 representative.

 Thank you in advance for your Consideration and I look forward hearing 
 from you shortly.

 Regards,
 Mrs Marilyne.G.Makinze.

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.
