  Until you find out that the source of those supposedly irrevocable funds
  was stolen or fraudulent, and you have some sort of court subpoena to give
  it back.

  I don't believe there is a way for you to outwit the scammer/spammer by
  making them pay more of their or someone elses money.  If you have what
  they need, they'll find a way to trick you into giving it to them.
