Money for "postage".
It is not, of course, giving out details of your bank account which is
dangerous - you do that every time you write a cheque, complete with
signature :-)
I remember reading one account by someone who toys with scammers - he
claimed he was encountering severe difficulties transmitting the money to
them, perhaps they could send some money to him to see if the system
actually worked? They did! (He gave it to charity.)
