OK, the Nigerian scam emails aren't even trying anymore, just got one saying, "I'm Mrs. Bintu Mahmood, contact my lawyer So-and-so." That's it. Please, if you're going to scam me, at least put together a clever cover story of political unrest, hidden gold shipments, and weeping orphaned children.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister got a Nigerian-scam-style email in the name of one of our cousins. That's creepy on a number of levels. I didn't know they did them with non-Africans, to start off with.
