LOL. Those guys haven't learnt any subtlety (which is a good thing). My oul' fella nearly got taken in by the Spanish Lotto winner scam. He didn't even stop to think about whether he'd even played any Lotto in any country, before sending off all his personal information. We caught it in time though.

There is more information on this sort of thing here, here and here. If it's too good to be true... Mind you, you can always have a bit of fun with them, such as here and here. Seems risky if you ask me.

A surprising amount, apparently - greed is ever present, so those guys will keep trying while people keep falling for it. theregister.co.uk runs stories on the victims every once in a while, and while you definitely can blame the victims for being stupid and greedy enough to fall for it, you can see how easy it is.
