The best way to counter this kind of scam is to offer the scammer more than what was offered to you.
For example, the scammer say "I have this certificate of 5 billion GBP from a disgrace Russian billionairte and to get the monney, blah blah, i will offer you 30 percent.
you can reply: That is nothing: my niece of my uncles uncle was left with 10 Billion GBP and to get the money blah blah blah, i will offer you 60%.
Using this technique, no scammers will ever bother you again.
A word of advice: do not give a hing that you own this software, construction company, travel a lot for business talk, etc. etc. because the scammer may think you really have lots of money to squeeze.

Hi Raphael
I am sure that admin will get on this case very quickly.
PP is a free forum so it will be difficult to stop this kind of thing happening at any time.
Planners are sensible people so I doubt if anyone would actually respond to the scam.
Perhaps if 20,000 pp members sent a private message with the words SOD OFF in bold text the crooks may get the message.
Best regards
Mike Testro
