The worst part is that there are people that have fallen for it. You sould be amazed how many people lack the basic awareness to avoid such scams. Look at all the people scamed by rich bankers from African countries.

May 04, 2011 10:32:21 Yeah, the people that fall for that really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a computer - for their own safety. Then again, it was a Facebook attack so they were likely catering to the proper audience. A lot of people do just about nothing but FB with their computers. It's all they know. Why waste energy planning a sophisticated ruse if your target is a bunch of tools?
