Thanks for the new scam story williamc, can't wait for the outcome.
It looks as though you've potentially found two mules. You should contact the FBI with that information.
On an interesting note of my own, I've been getting calls from a Indian Canuck here of late calling from 416-640-3489. Googling that number turns up posts that it's a scammer.
So tonight I decided to pick up:
<ring>
Me: City Morgue
<wait wait wait>
Me: City Morgue can I help you?
Indian Canuck: Hello, yes, hello?
Me: City Morgue can I help yoU?
Indian Canuck: Hello, I'm calling on behalf of <couldn't understand him>, I not calling to sell anything but I would like to speak to someone in the household....
Me: You didn't call a household, you called the City Morgue.
Indian Canuck: Oh, I'm sorry...<click>
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

I have to say I have a dedicated scammer on my hands. He's sent me over 40 emails wanting updates on the wire transfer. I told him I needed to talk to him, as I didn't feel comfortable wiring the money. I gave him my conference room number and we all went in to wait for his call. The guy called me from a satellite phone which kept dropping. I managed to record the conversation, which I'll try and post here soon. He called again today and my co-worker told him I was at the bank and to hold on the line.
Anyway, here are some of the email correspondence:

I pulled the audio off my phone. You'll need quicktime to listen. His satellite phone dropped around 2 minutes in.

Haha William this is hilarious. Keep it up! I loved how you tried to social engineer a picture out of him :P
Come to think about it, it's actually a good way to train social engineering in a nice ethical way. How do I attract myself one of these 419 nigerian scammers?? :b
