What's the scam here? Yes, I know it's a scam, but how do they get your money from you? I won't bother baiting these guys to find out.

It is an Advanced Fee Fraud. The victim will be required to send money to pay fees and other made up costs to get the "pay out" to come to you. Of course, there will be no pay out. It is a total scam.

Thank you for posting this information.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.
