It doesn't do much for my faith in the inate wisdom of folks when they get taken in by this stuff. I must say that since the very first time, a number of years ago, that I saw one of these letters it was clear it was a scam. Most of the stuff that is used in phishing scams, and money scams, seems so transparent to me that I can't imagine many are fooled. But obviously hope springs eternal and folks try to imagine that something to good to be true, actually is.
