It is sad to think, but I guess there really ARE a lot of people who fall for these type of scams - ONCE !

And for those of us who are now "educated" about the issue - it seems SO obvious - but if you are a 70 year old senior who has only ever dealt with nice, honest church-type people all your life - you don't know any better.

I guess it is true that there are many, many scammers who spend their entire "work-week" sending out phishing scam "leads" and responding to the foolish replies.

I was reminded of this fact, in person, when I recently sold my dear, precious, incredibly loved 200-400 f4 Nikon lens. I got pretty lucky and got $5,300 cash (Canadian) for it, but the guy that bought it from me (in person) - told me about how he had sent many thousdands of dollars - through Western Union or something stupid - for a BIG, expensive prime lens. And of course he never heard from that (rich) scammer again.
