The part I liked best was that the scammer didn't know what the name of the internet mail or messaging service he was using.
Also, I guy working in a mine, out of touch with the world has an "Agent" really now.

I sent him a message saying that I would not be progressing with his scam.
Still waiting for a reply :rolleyes:
Last one I had I said I would dispatch a trusted carrier pigeon to his remote mine location if he cared to share those details with me. :D
I say go for it but: Go sign up for another bank account at an institution you don't or will use. Get them to transfer the money. Withdraw it, in cash, then close the account.
In the past I got one like this for a big ticket item but knocked them back. After thinking about it... next time I'm going to do this. Who cares if it's a scam then, they lose the cash as you've cut the link back to you. Keep all correspondence so they can't claim some BS later. If it's not then they'll come and get the item.
Read post #13. And then don't waste your time.

I’ve had no more correspondence from Mr Young since I told him I thought it was a scam.
I don’t have time to play games with him, so it’s over.
