Yes, unfortunately, many people fall into the hands of these scammers. And there will be no scammers if there are no suckers. It could be because:
- people are so desperate for money
- people believe in the inate goodness of men
- people genuinely believes and don't put any malice when the receive a message that they won X amount or get a grant award
- people want to believe that some fairy god mother exists in the world for them
- people failed to think and simply agree to everything the other person tells them on the other line, including handing out their bank account numbers

Yes you're right. People fall for a lot of dumb things.
It seems that we are always hoping or looking for a free lunch.

I was wondering that myself. I could understand a senile old person taking it, but not for the others.
