So I've been stringing "Diana" along for a dozen or so emails. Finally got "her" to get off the script so I'm thinkng that the real fun should start any time now, but I have a couple of question for the group.

She's asking me to setup a bank account for her South American uncle to wire money into - and for me to eventually use to wire money to her.

What is her M.O here? Where do you experienced folk expect this to lead?

Not that I'll give real info, but what she's asking for (Name, Bank and Routing #) is info that anyone could get off of any of my checks.

Am I missing something? ... or is another shoe about to drop?

Any insights would be appreciated.

He is probing abut to see if he can get n account to launder money through but he will most likely drop it and move on to his next lie if you refuse. I just tell them I am not comfortable handling their money.

If you check out some of NV's threads, he's handled that situation really well getting outright forceful with his insistence (when needed) that they handle their own money. And, like he said, they move onto the next story.

Ok, makes sense ... Now I get it. I'll keep it going as long as I can and hopefully siphon off some bank info.

If this were to be a long term lad with a mass bait potential, then fake bank info could be handy. Just look at Branwen's AuPair bait in progress for that result.
