 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.
