I would wait for transaction of +1000000 BTC appearing in my full-node wallet with 1 confirmation and then it might be good enough to proceed Cheesy I doubt they can successfully double-spend that after confirms appear.

Why would they lie about having 1/10th of the total bitcoins in circulation, I can't imagine a Nigerian would scam you, go for it  Smiley

While you are there, could you pick up a inheritance for me? They mailed me, some dude wants to give it to me.

But if the mud monkeys really have 1 lemon of BTC? Owning 1/21 of total world internet wealth will make one a extremely wealthy person.

Well quick, you better go scam it from them. Bet you they'll give it to you for just a few hundred thousand USD.

If they transfer me the coins first I probably will give them few hundred thousand USD in exchange. I can be trusted, trust me!

OMG. Let bitcoin enter mainstream. I can imagine so many people getting scammed.
The most funny one and should definitely work: send BTC to x address, and after an hour, you will received twice as much.

It really works! At least in 50% cases. Here is that address: 1dice97ECuByXAvqXpaYzSaQuPVvrtmz6
