Western Union..Dense Di Dense Di Dense

This train was off the rails when it left the station.

Some scammers that use the old and molding Western Union ploy will play along with ANYTHING, long as they *think* they're gonna get something out of you.

Like this one.

Here's the whole series of emails, with the scammer's in bold and my character's replies in italics:
