Update:

Oh boy this has been a fun one!
I started by sending the scammer a message saying that I was sorry for Mrs Virginia’s condition Blah Blah Blah and sent the link to an “article” that she might find helpfull. The scammer has not yet clicked the grabify link :disappointed: sad. Anyway the scammer responded by waffling for 300 words and used less than 100 to tell me that I needed to send my full name as in your international passport, your Telephone number, address and fax numbers. Fax numbers??? Do people still use faxes?

Anyway I responded by telling the scammer that I had not used a fax machine scince 1998 and ask weather I should send my landline or mobile phone number. To whitch the scammer responded by changing tactic and asking for full name as in your international passport, your mobile telephone number, address and country. Sooooo I then responded by repeating my quesation about the landline or mobile and telling them that I can’t go to Romania to get the money so how would I be able to collect it.

Now I think I pissed the scammer off a bit with that because they forgot to turn off caps lock for most of their next email to me and for some reason switched gears yet again and asked me for (and I quote) “YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER, ADDRESS, COUNTRY AND A SCAN PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OR IDENTITY CARD.” While telling me later in the email that the company would deposit the money into my bank account, implying that I would have to send my bank details at some point :skull:.

So I wrote back to them that I was glad that I would not have to go to Romania to get the cash however I didn’t want to send my bank details over the internet because I don’t wana get hacked.

The scammer has not responded so far.
