I'd love to know how this scam works as well , so I'm going to bait him.

I have been contacted over and over by this guy Randy requesting basic information and the promise to use an image of me for billboard advertisement. Deeper into the emails he gave me an email for a lawyer named Solomon Levy. Solomon Levy sent me email requesting $476 dollars for his services of transfering $3.6 million dollars U.S.D. to me all in return he would retain 5%. I told he and Randy from Storm Modeling that I would not be sending money to anyone. I then got an email and was directed to contact Moran Shipping to have a cash delivery within 48 hours upon my consent. I contacted Moran Shipping and requested a quote for delivery. Moran shipping has requested that I send $460 dollars ASAP western union. After refusing to pay, I got another email this morning stating that I can come to London and get my money and pay the fees in person. If I consent they may offer me a good deal on a plane and request that I send them some money. I had a bad taste in my mouth the first time these people contacted me when I couldn't originally find the photo they were wanting to use on my Linkdin account. I knew this was a scam and this emailing has been going on now two weeks. This morning I told them that if there was any money in my name to give it to the church.
