Reminds me of that Nigerian money scam that has been going on for a year or three. It goes like this:
"I have $15,000,000.00 dollars I need to transfer to a U.S. Bank Account. Please give me your Bank Account number and wire transfer instructions and I will send it to you to hold for me because you seem like an honest person.
Oh, but first I need you to send me a $25,000.00 processing fee."
That was a real scam which continues to date. You can read about it occassionally in warnings published by the Nigerian Government in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other publications.
