I don't feel sorry for them actually. This is a very old trick and I'm surprised people still fall for it. They fall for it because of their greed. They saw an opportunity to steal someone else's money without knowing that they were the prey and not the predators. If they had no intentions of taking someone else's money they wouldn't have fallen for it.
No, they are not. They are pretty stupid.
I agree but it's funny how they always get people. That means the people are even more stupid? I see a lot of lame scams and I wonder how people fall for it. I just can't explain it.
