I suspect it would rapidly get frustrating trying to convince someone who didn't want to listen that these types of scam never end well. Yes, people do need help, but not because they're simply vulnerable but because they're mentally ill and that's a lot more difficult to tackle.

There are also people who are "naive", despite being intelligent (some times highly so). I dealt with a university professor who would forward me numerous emails asking if they were scams, ranging from standard 419 African princes to lotteries and Russian "women" wanting to get to know him. Every one I would reply back saying SCAM and each time he would reply saying "but don't you think that it might be legitimate - shouldn't I just reply to find out more".
