Internet Scam, part 3

Good news! Our friend Bill is quite accessible, and quickly emails me back.

"Hey,
Everything sounds well and am okay with the prize $250.
l will offeryou $450 to keep all the buyers away. I have a friend who is ready to issue you a certified money order since I don't have the funds inyour currency. For convinient and easy shipping, I have a liable shipping agent who'd be responsible for the shipping as soon as you receive payment . I will therefore need the following information ofyours to forward to my client before he sends the money order......NAME IN FULL........ADDRESS IN FULLCOUNTRY..........ZIPCODE........CELL/OFFICE/HOME PHONE NUMBER.......
Waiting to hear from you
Regards
BILL"
