Do people fall for those emails?

Has anyone on this forum been a victim of such fraud emails?
There was a 60 minutes program about the people who arrive daily from the States to find what the delay is in delivery of their riches.

At some point there is an attempt at identity theft or a request for "good faith" money.

Nigeria has no law against this activity. But those scammed may end up in jail.

Over time, I have gotten them from England, Holland, Togo, Nigeria, the Gulf States.
