Default Do people still for Email scams?

I mean why would I be getting so many of them if they weren't working for some scammer somewhere?

Do people still what? Go for it? Well they must do because with the amount of scams out there it must be working for some dummy who doesn't see through it.

Maybe he meant "fall" for it. They do, because you still read news reports of people being caught. it seems to be mostly older people.

Yes they do fall for it or go for it. Most people may be old or they might just be greedy.

Yes, sorry I meant "fall" and I think you guys are right there are just loads of people out there that are so naive that they'll buy into anything.

And there are scam artists looking for these people to take all they have. There needs to be some kind of policing of where these scammers get afraid.

It is very difficult to go after people that hide behind proxies and other countries where there is no law governing the internet.

Not only do they fall for it but they go all the way to the bank or even jail because of an Email, that is ridiculous!
