时差N小时 该如何处理诈骗电子邮件

Dear Annie:

亲爱的安妮：

In the past month, I have received three e-mails from different people asking me to send a deposit, after which they will forward a winning lottery¹ ticket to me. In exchange for cashing it for them, I will get a portion of the money.

在过去的三个月里，我接收到来自三个不同的人发给我的电子邮件，要求我给他们汇款，然后会寄给我中奖的彩票。我帮他们兑现彩票，作为交换，他们会给我一部分佣金。

I know these are scams, but I'm sure there are a few people who might fall for them. What do I do with these e-mails?－Palmdale, Calif.

我知道这些都是骗人的把戏，但我相信肯定会有人上当受骗。我应该怎么处理这些邮件呢？——来自加利福利亚，帕姆代尔市。

Dear Palmdale:

亲爱的帕姆代尔：

Most such scams involve people claiming to be Nigerian officials or surviving spouses² of former government officials, who very politely offer to give you money if you will help them transfer funds out of the country. You are then asked to provide your bank account number and some money to cover legal and transaction fees. You may even be encouraged to travel to Nigeria or a border country to complete the transaction. Sometimes, the con³ artists will produce fake money to verify their claims.

大多数类似的骗子都自称是尼日尼亚的官员或者是前政府官员的未亡人，他们会非常有礼貌地请你帮忙把钱转出国，并给你钱作为报酬。然后要求你提供你的银行卡账号和一些钱，以支付法律和交易费用。他们还会邀请你去尼日尼亚或是邻国以完成交易。有时候，这些骗子还会印假钞做幌子。

People who have responded have been beaten, subjected to threats and extortion, and in some cases, murdered. And, of course, there is a stream of excuses why there was never any transfer of funds to your account. If you receive e-mail from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of another country, do not respond.

受骗的人则会被殴打、遭受恐吓，敲诈勒索，甚至被谋杀。当然他们还会编造无数的理由说从来没有向你的账户转过账。如果你接收到请你帮忙把钱转到国外的电子邮件，千万不要理睬。
