Tell him your Paypal account got limited and ask where you should send the check.
You could also ask him if he has any sites of a specific kind to sell, say tube sites. My friend, who is new to the business, really wants to invest $xx,xxx in buying a good tube site, you tell him.
Arrange for him to find one "for sale" at a good price, say $500 on the board. Get him to believe he's about to make the big score, that your buddy is ready to send him big money. Your buddy is a bit more careful about site ownership, though, asking for this proof and that proof. The "seller" of the big money site is less patient, saying "look, if you want the whois made public, just send me the dang $500 and you can do whatever you want with the whois." All the while your friend is is itching to buy it for for big money. Eventually he'll figure out that in order to sell the site for big money, he's going to have to first put up $500. Welcome to 419, asshole.
