Fair, though I'm curious if the people falling for them are using email providers with quality spam filters. I'd guess it's a much older crowd that's more likely using an archaic email provider with no incentive to improve spam filters.
- pdonis 6y ago> I'm curious if the people falling for them are using email providers with quality spam filters. I'm curious why the people falling for them need a spam filter to recognize them as scams. I still see an occasional one slip through my email provider's spam filter, and I've never had any problem figuring out that they were scams.

- kiba 6y agoI don't think it's internet skills per se, given that scams exist since before the internet.
