String them along. Don't lose this opportunity to make them work for their "money"
I managed 24 e-mails, a cheque out of them and even a mobile tel. number and address in London. It went on for weeks and weeks and they got more and more frustrated. Eventually, the police got involved (as I was working for them at the time).
The fun bit is winding them up over the following weeks, with them thinking they have a bite.
Go for it, play them at their own game and have some fun!

Guess i have to ask my colleague Willi t'Bee Eazy to prepare an appointment in Paris next weekend. Ideally he could bring the helicopter with him.

Didnt involve a helicopter, but got one awhile ago offering to split $12 million if I would help get it out of the country. Jumped right on that one!

@9APlus: That's what every request for a quotation looks like in East Africa. What looks like spam at first actually does fill our pockets here

Telesales cold calls are my favourite - i'm always 'very interested' but just need a moment to get a pen and paper, phone goes on speaker & see how long they hold (whilst of course getting on with my prior business)

My mother in law (who can have a conversation with an answering machine) once had a conservatory salesman on the line for 2 hours until she asked him how it would fit on the second floor.....
