I got loads of these. I usually play along, and when you get a few stages further they ask you for all your bank details and contact details to finalise the deal and claim my 10% of the many millions offered in this amazing deal.

I stay with them, replaying promptly to their emails and always appearing eager and naive.

Then at the last minute I say I half the money or I'm out.

At this point they usually protest and say they need it all to start a new life and rescue out fellow sufferers of the regime.

At which point I demand another 25% and not a penny less.
