Probably most, but I remember reading a story a few months back about a professor, I think in his 70's, who wasn't scammed once, but twice by the same nigerian emails. For hundreds of thousands of dollars. his son ended up taking him to court to wrestle control of the family fortune from him, due to his twice being scammed. I remember reading that the second time he was being scammed he told his son, "but these are nice nigerians." He actually flew out there and met them and everything. But hundreds of thousands of dollars. And a professor? makes you wonder. I wish I remember what it was he was a professor of. Probably psychology.
