Set up a dummy email account. Forward this to your dummy account. From there, reply that you are interested, and give them a fake name, but nothing else. Then give them a bit more fake info ... then "forget" to send details ... then be sick for a week & couldn't reply .... See how desperate they get for the bank info

There really needs to be "sting" account numbers that can be offered that will help trace back and catch these cons. Apparently there are people who fall for this stuff though, or it wouldn't be attempted. Amazing.

The problem is, most of these scammers are in another country, where it may or may not be against the law to pull this stunt, and even if it is, it might be a PIA to prosecute and/or extradite.

If you want to pay for the long distance phone call, I know someone who once got called on the phone for this, and he made up an account number with more digits than any account would have. When the person read it back to verify, he said no and made up a different.
