We hadn't hashed that out before I broke contract with him. I suppose there would be some way to wire hm 50% of the money. Western Union wire transfers maybe? I've never sent money overseas, so I wouldn't know.

edit: I clarified in the original post that I wouldn't let him use my freelance accounts. Of course I wouldn't also give him any of my banking information either.

How so?

If I were to pretend to be a potential attacker, and if I knew how this would be illegal, I would either A) lie to the mark, or B) tell the mark how to do this legally.

In case A, I would be at risk of being found out if the mark does a google search. In case B, there would be no problem.

So I don't see how this would help a potential attacker. Lying is already a given when it comes to scammers.

The person I spoke to didn't say anything about needing my SSN, or bank account number, or any sort of "advance-fee". "Nigerians" don't usually offer to win contracts, show their faces on the webcam, chat with you for hours, have you stand in for an interview, complete work, and THEN ask for 50% payment after it's all done.

I don't think it's this. Not even close.
