    Scams can be done in several stages once they know they have a live sucker.  The goal is always the same: get your money.

    The only safe response is NO response.  Ignore it as if you never received it, other than perhaps to report it, possibly to FTC, or as spam to your ISP, they are good at blocking this stuff.
