If dumb people fall for that how are they not already broke?

How could they be broke when they've won the Spanish Lottery, and been given so much money for helping those nice people from Nigeria to move their millions of dollars out of the country? :rolleyes:

Because I have free money to send you of course! You'd never go broke with all this free money I'm just giving away. I just need you to put in some credentials here...

If you keep your money in your mattress and only have an empty bank account for receiving such funds; then you're safe.

In my everyday life I get sometimes the impression there are only 10% intelligent People on this planet ;P

[Sander Rossel]

The real question is: Is there such a thing as too much porn? :D

It's an OO world.

public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

[Sander Rossel]

And they are the ones scamming :)

10%? That high? It seems more like we're all at varying levels of un-intelligence :) There are probably rare exceptions, but I can't think of any.

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

[Lost User]

Ah, but he does devote a lot of his own time and money entertaining the elderly..

I seem to remember someone posting on CP a while ago that these phishing messages were written with intentionally poor grammar and spelling so that they target the more uneducated that are seemingly more liable to fall for the scam. That way they are focussing their efforts. Not sure on the legitimacy of that claim, but I can see some of the logic.

[Tomz_KV]

This kind of scam has been going on for many years. But some people are still tricked into it, simply because of "trust", especially when a scam is in the name of charity.
