The next thing hes gonna need is your checking account number and any PIN numbers or passwords you may have so he can deposit the money into your account.

Its amazing how many people get suckered by this.

The last one I heard of was supposedly from some soldiers in Iraq that found millions in Saddams stashed US currency and needed your help to get it out of the country. Of course theyd give you a heft share.
