It's been seen here a few times, but so far as I know it hasn't been successfully baited. He'll ask you for the names of ten friends and you will all ferry money between the WU and the bank, so that cuts the time down to 13.6 years. Except of course the money doesn't exist, at least not in that quantity.

Either all he's looking for is the names of ten gullible people, or he's money-laundering.

Of course, if you bait it then you must not receive money. (Or at least think very carefully and take LEO advice before you do as it's almost certainly illegal.) If that is part of his plan, the bait will flounder. So far as I can remember no body yet has got an MTCN out of one of these, so I suggest you bait it very straight. If he is looking for people to move money, then he's going to be very careful.

Is there any future in giving him other lads details who would benefit from recieving $50 as a convincer, whilst costing another lad money and fees, and ultimately starting a bunfight in ladland

"bro you owe me $50"
"f*ck off smallboi"

etc?
