[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1942465, member: 110816"] The scammers aren't doing this manually. This is all done through automated software that is capable of creating and sending these emails in bulk. Additionally, this is a very low margin game they're playing. The system is guessing and trying to fool a small handful of folks by sending out millions of messages. But the people who fall for the trick end up being lucrative enough of a game that the scammers stick to it. My aunt has fallen for these schemes repeatedly and has handed over a few thousand dollars until her husband and children took away her accounts. She now has a shared account that everyone can see and her access to any accounts with money requires my uncle to agree to it. [/QUOTE]
