Anatomy of an Inheritance Scam: Bank asks questions

 After I wrote the "bank", it replied with a set of questions, which I sent to my "handler", who wrote me back with answers to the questions. I would not question him, being supposedly the account holder of Allen's bank deposit. He would know the details of Allen's account. So here are the  answers to the questions from the "bank."  This is my response to the "bank."
