I've seen this for about a year.

Any situation when you, as a seller, are required to release any sort of
money from your account, is a scam.

My response to any of these emails, the rare times when I do respond, is
to tell them that I only accept international transactions with US cash
concealed in a registered letter or via Western Union.

If I receive payment by any other method other than US cash, it is subject
to my normal consultant rate of $1000/hour, 1000 hour minimum.  Unfortunately
for them, this has run through any overage they have included and would
they please remit the remaining balance to me asap before I have to turn
their account over to the collections department?  Thank you for your prompt
attention in this matter and good day to you sir.  I said good day!
