Of course, you never want to give them any REAL information, like bank accounts, SSN, phone number, home address, etc.

It's really pretty hilarious to read some of the stuff.
There's a whole community of people 'scamming the scammers'.

I remember one time my father got one of these emails, saying their father had died, and they needed money to secure their inheritance. My father replied saying how much he hated the guy's dad, and he was glad the old son of bitch was dead, and he hoped the guy never saw any inheritance from his rotten father. It was hilarious.

It's really amazing the stories these jerks come up with.
Not only are they doing the traditional 'somebody died and there's XX Million dollars you can claim', but they're real active in Ebay scams.
Just remember what your Mama told you.... "If it sounds too good to be true, it isn't true!"

I got one of those Ebay scams once. I thought about throwing a bunch of bogus info into it, but I lost interest in it.
