I saw a similar thing a few years ago. 419 fraudsters had to join 'The Church of the Angelic Cottager' before their potential victim would do business with them.If I click on that how much will it cost me?

Dear Friend Yu V Binhad,
Thank you very much for your email and for accepting to assist me, Like I said in my previous email, i am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $14.8m (Fourteen Million Eight hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to you, as far as i can be assured that it will be safe in your care until we complete our service here. I will send you the details, but I have to be very sure that you are willing to assist me and If we can agree on some terms then you will have yours and keep mine until we return, then the both of us can do this together.
I agree to offer you a reasonable percentage (40%) of the total sum of money as gratification for your assistance and cooperation. It's $100 bills throughout and it's contained in one Trunk box. I'm thinking of tagging the box as "Personal Effects" and ship it out of Afghanistan through a special diplomatic scheme through the help of a Canadian Diplomat i told you about in my previous email.
Please respond ASAP because I don't like the box to continue to be here, for security purpose.
I advise you to please keep this issue highly confidential. Diplomatic shipment is a very secure and legal way of sending the Trunk box of money out of here (Afghanistan), and I will discuss this with you in full details on my next email. Please do confirm to me if this is quite acceptable by you so that I can start making arrangements immediately to have the Trunk box shipped out of Afghanistan.
You may be wondering why i choose to trust a delicate matter like this in the care of a stranger, but this is the best we can do in my present situation. I would have trusted this kind of project in the hands of my Husband who was my closest confidant, but I lost him to cancer on 22ND April 2006, 7 months after we got married, and my only brother has ruined his life with hard drugs, hence my decision to work with a neutral person if we can establish some trust between ourselves instead of confiding in my buddies back home so that this little secret can be preserved.
I will await your immediate response to this email, I am counting on your understanding and full cooperation in order to make this work faster. i can bet with my live that we cannot afford to fail with the arrangement already put in place for the delivery of the Trunk Box of money to you.
I await your immediate contact with me. Let me know what you have to say about the sharing ratio and also confirm your willingness to cooperate with me in this project by providing your full name, home address, Occupation and ID
Kind regards.
Major, Rebecca Schieble (U.S Army).

Prompt reply....there's a lot of money at stake after all......
Dear Major
Thank you so much for the fast reply. I think your proposal of 40% of $14.8m sounds more than fair. I can’t believe my good luck in meeting you !
With my share of the proceeds I will be able to finally upgrade the cellaring equipment in the pub but I wonder whether my local wholesaler will accept $100 bills? I appreciate the need for confidentiality but would it be OK to tell my family of my amazing good fortune? I can’t imagine I will be able to keep this secret from them when I start buying Gucci loafers and riding to the wholesaler in my new Porsche to pick up the cellaring equipment
When you come to UK to pick up your share of the money we can enjoy a fine pint of my local mild. It is a bit of an acquired taste but my regulars appreciate its cleansing effect. Billy Nomates, my oldest customer, swears by its regularising impact. Maybe your brother who’s into the hard drugs could come over and we could have a bit of a mild-drinking party. In fact if you could make it the beginning of August we hold our annual village fete and you would be very welcome to attend. As a serving officer we would love for you to judge our Victoria Sponge contest if that wouldn’t be too inconvenient. Last year Mrs Wither’s moistness was much commented upon
With fondest wishes

It's taking you way longer to craft your replies than it is for this person to fire off page 2 of his script. You're not even through to an actual scammer yet, more likely just a young kid in an internet cafe doing the donkey work firing off scripts until he tells his boss he's sure it's a potential victim and not a "joker".
If you have this much time to invest, try joining 419eater and learn the intricacies of how the scams and the hierarchies work.

Commenting on CC on how I'm wasting my time on the internet is somewhat ironic

Can you quote for me where I said you were wasting your time on the internet?
I said that if you have the time to invest, you could learn to do it well.
I used to devote hours to it, but I don't have the time now. If you do, then great.
But by all means make it about me, and just how much time I spend on Cycle Chat. And the real irony there is that I post about once a day, if that.

It's supposed to be a light hearted café thread but you're doing the worst thing possible to it....making it boring.
Anyway, my new friend has replied overnight from the land of Mayonnaise
Dear Friend Yu V Binhad,

I agree there's only so many ways to cut and dice this. I'm hoping the "real time" nature of the thread may bring an extra frisson of interest. But then again, maybe not
