 You have received a contact request from a visitor to your storefront at

 Phone Number: 
 Request: 

 Hello there,

 I'm interested in purchasing some items I saw on your site. I live and work 
here in Malaysia and would like to know if I could purchase via mail order. I 
would also like to know if you accept credit card as payment because that is 
the only form of payment I can make right now as I would not be able to make 
a bank wire transfer due to some reasons.

 I am registered with a shipping agency in Malaysia, which also has 
representatives across European countries, so you won't be shipping the items 
for me but it will be picked up at your location by this licensed shipping 
agency. They have all the appropriate exportation documents and permits, 
therefore regarding the shipping of the products, they will come for pick up 
once I have made payment. All I need is your cooperation with the shipping 
agent.

 Kindly get back to me so that I can place my orders.
 Please ensure your replies are directed to this email: fredstore31@yahoo.com

 Best Regards,
 Mark Fred

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.
