Some scammers should never have been allowed near a laptop, because they have no idea and no brains. Here's a classic example.
The scammer's emails are date-stamped and time-stamped; his name has been changed. My comments are in bold.
27 June 1829 AEST
Hello daddy I am favor makoko from Sudan 20year old boy, I just arrive in Ghana with my late father two consignment boxes which contain, one of boxes contain $14millions dollars why the other one contain raw gold, And the money is clean and spendable cash.

Mr Makoko I've never helped African refugees. Who told you I had? Malcolm Reynolds
27 June 1947 AEST I just want you to help claim my boxes and invest it in a good business Best regards Favor makoko
Mr Makoko You're too busy nattering on the phone to talk to me, despite what you said. But hey, that's no surprise. Malcolm Reynolds
I got through to "Favor", and what a train wreck he turned out to be! Pushy, arrogant, and totally out of his depth, he got the rough edge of Mal's temper.
27 June 2115 AEST Dear sir, Look to my help and Grant it. Best regards Favor makoko
Mr Makoko I told you; give me a reason to help you. A GOOD reason. Malcolm Reynolds
Will there be more? We'll see!

Well, guess what; he gave a really stupid reason.
27 June It increases life satisfaction, gives sense of meaning, increases power emotions, increases our mood and reduces stress. It can help to eliminate our worries from our minds too. In short, helping others enhances happiness so do good if you want to feel
Mal didn't think much of that reason.
Mr Makoko Helping an arrogant entitled brat is not going to give me satisfaction. Helping someone who actually needs help is what I do. Malcolm Reynolds
28 June Dear sir, I need help help me
I'll give him a hope spot.*
Mr Makoko Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I do agree to help you. What would I be doing? And what would it involve? I want everything spelled out in full. Malcolm Reynolds
* A character is about to face utter defeat. Suddenly, he finds a glimmer of hope, a reservoir for strength, a possible way out, a ray of light, a Forgotten Superweapon or what have you… only for it to be crushed by the bad guys/good guys returning in force.

Did Favour actually spell everything out in full? Of course not. He focussed on what's important... to him
28 June Dear sir, Thanks for your reply What you have to do just to send the $500 to the custom officer for the release of my boxes that is clearance fees. It involve $500 only to release the 2 consignment boxes. The fees can be send via Western Union or money Gram ria money transfer in my next message I will send you the details. Best regards Favour makoko +233REDACTED
Mal's reply was restrained (emphasis in original).
Mr Makoko I said I want everything spelled out in full. You haven't done that. Do it. Malcolm Reynolds

I thought it was time to make another call (or in this case, two).
And Mal had had enough.
I'm not sending any money. You are too fucking stupid to be worth saving. Fuck you, asshole.
28 June Please help me
I decided that a better class of insult was in order.
I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Oddly enough, a Monty Python taunt seemed to hurt him more!
29 June Dear sir Help me what have I done to you stop insulting me.
29 June
Dear sir, Please don't look to my world but look to my help Best regards Favour makoko
Mr Makoko Now here's a strange thing; over the past three days I've received no fewer than four different appeals from wealthy Sudanese refugees with trunk boxes of cash and gold who need my help to get their boxes out of either a security company or a customs warehouse, and want me to be their beneficiaries. Malcolm Reynolds
Favour took that more calmly than I expected.
1 July Dear sir, It depends on you if you want to help it is left for you. Best regards Favour makoko
Mr Makoko Here's the thing; why should I help you and not one or more of these other refugees? Malcolm Reynolds
1 July Dear sir, You are free to help anybody you want Favour makoko
Mr Makoko I don't need you to tell me that. Malcolm Reynolds
2 July Sorry sir thanks

Mr Makoko This ain't your first rodeo, you know. You never told me why you should get help ahead of other refugees. Here's your chance. Malcolm Reynolds

That wasn't a good answer.
Mr Makoko I don't want to help the other refugees, because they're all spoiled brats and nancy-boys who seem to think I'm after young black ass. Just like you, in fact. Malcolm Reynolds
This is no improvement.
30 July Dear sir, Kindly look to my help Favor makoko
Mr Makoko I don't want to help a spoiled brat and nancy-boy who thinks I'm after young black ass. Malcolm Reynolds
Will that be enough to break him?
