Canadian kid loses $150,000 to Nigerian 419 email scammers.
If you’re not looking to receive something for nothing, you’re not likely to fall prey to a swindler. The greedier you are, the more likely you are to be scammed out of your money. Swindlers are looking to get something for nothing.
As a result, conmen are among the easiest people to con. (I find that fact, and the linked site, as well as this one and others of the genre, highly amusing.)

NPR’s “This American Life” did a piece on three of the scambaiters sending a scammer on a “safari” hundreds of miles from his home, almost to Darfur, telling him (and, somehow, persuading him) that he’d be able to scam some tens of thousands of dollars from a church.
I felt a bit bad about enjoying listening to it so much; see https://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=363 if you’re interested.
And, yeah; about the only scam that I know of that doesn’t depend on the greed of the victim is the Bank Examiner one.
