Received this email today. I'ved responded to this type of email before just to mess with these idiots. I managed to string one guy out for over a month before he figured out he wasn't going to be able to scam me.

My response to the email is as follows:
Thank you for taking time to choose me for this important function. Send me the 10% first and I will do it. If you want to, I will provide you a numbered account in the Caymans for you to wire transfer the money. As soon as it's there, I will be more than happy to provide a safe harbor for the balance. However, I won't be providing you my name, my address, my phone number, my bank account number, my social security number, my pet's names, my wife's name, nor even my shoe size. I hope that these arrangements will meet with your satisfaction.
Think I should set up a numbered account in the Caymans or await their response first?
