Why do people fall for scams?
Everytime I hear about somebody falling for a lottery scam, I shudder. Why do people fall for something which is so obviously a trick?

Re: Why do people fall for scams?
Greed. Plain and simple greed. Mixed with a bit of "Oh my! I'm famous! I've been singled out, picked out among millions!".
To them, it seems like minimum risk, maximum gains. All other warning bells are silenced.

Re: Why do people fall for scams?
I watch a tv show called hustler its based on con men from london, they go by this motto " you cannot con a honest man" so believe it or not if you get con/scam u were probably trying to get away with something these people played on evil side
