I received a request for photography services (I own a photo business), the "client" asked me to help him pay for the venue by first putting $2000 into my account for $100 fee. I initially told "him" that we don't accept credit cards but "he" still sent me this email:

Thank you so much for your full package of services and i really appreciate you for taking your time to elaborate them to me. 11-4 pm is the time for the Event. I am okay with the cost of your service. Does that include processing fee + tax because i would need you to do me little favor, i have a little issue with the payment of the venue, the event planner of the venue told me she doesn't have a credit card machine so i will need you to do me the favor to add her fee together with your fee she has to receive $2000 for the booking of the venue so i will like you to get back to me with the total cost so that i can make the payment today. I'm also giving you a tip of $100 if you can do this for me.

Get back to me ASAP so that i can authorize the payment from my end.

This guy wanted us to print t-shirts for him. His English is so bad, I got suspicious. He also wanted to furnish the 660 shirts, but they are all XL size. Pretty unusual request.
