Cultural Appropriation Of The Dead

I kinda get a kick out of scammer emails that start out by asking if my character is dead or not.

Kinda like they're expecting an answer if my character is, in fact, dead.

It always lapses into the same basic spiel as most scam emails.  Like this one:


Dear Beneficiary,Ref: FJD /DHL/STB,We have sent you several  emails without reply from you,are you still alive?A man from  Mexico contacted our office
stating that you give him order to  claim your funds on your behalf.
Your email was given to this  office in respect of your total inherited
/compensation sum owed  to you which you have failed to claim
because of either non- compliance of official processes or because
of your unbelief of  the reality of your genuine payment.You are

million United States  Dollars (5,000,000,00) has been approved
to be made to you  through UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA ATM
Visa Card.The total funds due  to you will be processed and pro-
grammed into an ATM Cash card  that will be dispatched to your

maximum co-operation and understanding to proceed with this
arrangement which has been designed to favor you.

From Hon Sylvester.  


This used to be my initial reaction to such emails:

But it wasn't long before this look was replaced with this one:


I can't say the same reaction was garnered from the scammers after my character had doctored their initial emails.  Like this one:


From: OFFICIAL MASSAGE <ip@inte.com>
Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2019 8:08 PM
To: fartingjackwabbits101@hotmail.com
Subject: AS A CORPSE DID YOU RECEIVE MY MESSAGE!!! REPLY EXPECTED OF CORPSE OR NOT

 

Dear Beneficerary, Ref: OMG /WTF/ARG

We have send you several emails without reply from you.  This
lead us to believe that you are technologically inept, without
email, of total indifference or you are deader than a can of corned
beef.
This is of some level of interest to us because a man from
La Mancha contacted our office stating that you give him order
for two taco supremes with side of guacamole and him is of
opinion that you are not of the right racial make up to place
this order making it cultural appropriation, a crime deemed
punishable by everything imaginable at the dregs of media,
cnn.  
Your email was given to this office in respect of getting to
your bottom which you have failed to bear because of either non-
compliance of official processes or because of your unbelief of
the reality of your being dead, alive and in either case failing to
bear that which is your bottom. 
You are hereby notified that you must bear your bottom and
soonest whether it is that you are dead or alive, or in some
stage of in-betweenst.  The UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA
could really care less about your bottom, but a reply to
resolve this question is demanded there.  They apparently
have nothing else to do I guess.
KINDLY FILL IN THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
Your Full Name:
Your Country:
Your State:
Your City:
Your Cell Phone Number:
Your Delivery Address:
Your Current Occupation:
Your age and Sex:
Your Next Of Kin Name:
Your Next Email Address:
Attach photo of your bared bottom
You must also renege your culturally appropriated order of
two taco supremes with side of guacamole unless you can
provide proof of your racial make up that verifies that you
are from a race that is allowed to place such orders, as
demanded by the dregs of media at cnn.  Which probably
explains why cnn is at the very bottom of the outhouse pit
of credibility in the civilized world.
We require your maximum co-operation and basic lack of
understanding to proceed with this arrangement which has
been designed to favor nothing remotely looking like you.
Yours faithfully.
From Hon Sylvester.  
 
 
From the lack of any reply to this edit, my limited stable of scambaiting/scam-editing characters concludes that the scammer's reaction was akin to this:
 
Game, set, match.
