"The business is on. I am trying to raise the balance for the Gummy Bear so he can submit all the needed Fizzy Cola Bottle Jelly Beans to the Creme Egg for the Peanut M&M's process to start. Send £1,500.00 via a Giant Gummy Lizard."

Long story short, turns out he wasn't a PCH representative after all.
SHOCKER. -
LMAO! And here I was, thinking nobody else in their *right mind* would do such a thing.
I recently had a similar experience with a "Publisher's Clearing House" spam-artist. The conversation went a little like THIS:
PCHrep: Congratulations, Annie! YOU'VE WON THE $5,000 A WEEK FOR LIFE SWEEPSTAKES!
Me: I WON?! That's *incredible*! I mean WOW... I don't even remember entering any sweepstakes! =D
So what do you need from *me* before you can send me that phatass check?
PCH: ...
Whaddaya GOT?
Me: One word, my man: SELFIES.
100% UNCENSORED, *nude* selfies.
... SOOOOO many naked selfies, dude.
PCH: To PUBLISH?
Me: Sure, whatever! :)
Just slap one of those big ole' question marks over my face and call me "Anonymosity Annie" if you decide to use any of them.
I'd hate to be recognized by friends/ family.
PCH: ...
Me: ...
PCH: Send them now. -
