I've responded to a few of these guys, and been happy to supply all my personal information.
Tel. number (number of Vic. Police Fraud Squad);
Fax number (number of Melb. Zoo);
Bank (Bank of The Yarra);
Bank address (an address which would be roughly in the middle of Melb. General Cemetary)'
Bank account No. (numbers of 3 car regos at random);
and my very private, personal email address (Bob Brown's, Simon Crean's - whatever).

Strange. No-one replied. Can't imagine why.
