Too much to post, but has anyone ever toyed with one like this?

It's legit, CC. I did it, and he gave me a lot of cash. You should try it.

I did for a couple days, but lost interest due to being too lazy to make fake documents to seem legit to the dude. Twas fun while it lasted, though.

This is not nearly as good as some of the originals back in the day. I think the 411 guys are on to being played and just don't take the bait like they used to.

I give these guys credit. I don't care if these dudes are over in Nigeria, I wouldn't want to risk anything playing around with it. You have to be pretty tech savvy to protect yourself if you are going to bait these guys. I think I remember seeing something on 60 Minutes - despite the bad English, some of these scammers are actually surprisingly savvy and knowledgeable. Physically maybe no threat, but capable of hacking/tracking you in some form to steal an identity.
