SCAMDEMIC: NO VACCINE IN SIGHT
WHY ARE SOME
SCAMS SO TOTALLY
RIDICULOUS AND
OBVIOUSLY A SCAM?
Sometimes scams seem so obvious. Why do scammers
send poorly written emails with promises of ridiculous
large amounts of money?
They do this because they are targeting people who do not see the
danger, those who overlook the obvious warning signs and still go
ahead. These gullible people are their targets, not the ones who see
the danger.
So they continue to use this shotgun approach, sending out
thousands of emails or sms, and see who takes the bait.
