Important Notes :-
1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.
2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

I used to forward these emails to the reply to address abuse@yahoo.com etc. I get at least 2 of these emails per day. I even got a text message from a fake construction company claiming to have done work for a police department. Needless to say. The only way to avoid getting scammed is to delete them or as I've been doing lately is pulling full headers and sending them to Un-Habitat, being one example. There has to be a better way. The email providers need to establish a better spam system as in the do not call registry.
