I was just checking my gmail account and all the scammers make it so obvious that they are trying to scam me out of my money. I'm amazed at how primitive their tactics are. People are a lot more aware of scams nowadays and can detect them instantly.  

I think they're just lazy. They probably figure that at least 1 or 2 out of 2000 people fall for it, and that's good enough for them. A better question is why do they all seem to come from Nigeria?

Oh well, I hardly ever see those emails anymore. Almost all of them just get filtered into the spam folder.
