Scammer Just Don't Give Up

Them scammers just don't give up, do they? I'm talking about the ones that fill your e-mail inbox with dozens of fake pleas for help, lottery winning announcement, performance enhancing drugs and what-nots.

They never seem to give up - every now and then they come up with a new angle to try to dupe the good people to part with their money. Everyday i get at least 20 of them. I think they still abide by the rule of 'there is a sucker born everyday'. I thinking they send out 1000 of these mails daily, and even if they get one or two replies per day, that'll make it all worthwhile for these guys.

On the same note, every other week there is a report of an innocent person who has lost their life savings to these scammers. In this day and age, do educated people still fall for this crap?
