Would you hand over a PPC account to get a sale?

A person emails me that they saw a bunch of my names on here
They want to buy them subject to their acceptance into a specified reputable company's PPC program
I apply for acceptance and I am given a new account and import the names
Then the buyer wants me to give him/her my user id and p/w for the new PPC account to prove the names are there

I refuse

What would you do?

Did he send you the code for the new PPC? May be he just want to earn affiliate commission.
Btw, giving user id/password is against TOS.

Tell him to wait for 6 months so you can be sure that the new account is working and get back to him.

Stay away if you smell something fishy.

Sure sounds like they are trying to say, "Sign up for me under your reputable name as I can't under my own."

Thank you all for the valued advice
No, it was not an affiliate
Yes it was the email with "interested" misspelt
Yes, it smells fishy to me
Next time, I will tell him to stick his offer where the sun doesn't shine, politely of course
