These tw**s are getting advice or prompts from somewhere.

Even a blindman in the dark with sunglasses on can see through these, methinks.

Presumably, there are some who get taken by this? Something must fuel or perpetuate these.

I suppose they could come clean and state "we are Nigerian/Kenyan/whatever and would like to know if you would like to chance your money and/or freedom on a laundering scam?"

I'm ranting, I know.
