Nigerian Scam Letters

Question: We've been getting a steady diet of Nigerian letters in our office. What do we do with them? Is there any place this should be reported?

Answer: You can either just delete them and ignore them. Or, if you wish, you can report them to the U.S. Secret Service by forwarding them by email to 419fcd@usss.treas.gov with the words "No money lost" in the subject line. Then delete them.
