That offer sounded waaaaay too to pass up, so would you send him a reply with all my bank info?

Bank: Mercury Bank of America
Routing Number: 26599847 (all the numerals from my old 72 F100's VIN)
Account Number: 68734150 (MOST of the numeric digits from Mrs StDr's '86 Tempo - RIP 1994)
Account Name: Roy D Mercer (rednecks will want to ask "How bigga boy are ya?")

When they send me the funds, I'll split them with you

My wife created an email distribution list called "Douche Bags" and whenever she gets one of these, she adds the sender to the list and then forwards the email to everyone on the list.

I'm amazed that anyone at all falls for these things.
