You no longer need email to fall victim to the Nigerian scam.

I just don’t understand how people fall for this scam... how do they convince people they need help to GIVE money away.... I’d be very, very suspicious of someone with a lot of cash on hand like that.

What can I say? I’m just skeptical in general.

Excuse me for asking, but:

Did we not fall for the Kenyan scam, as a country, last November?

Unless someone with more knowledge corrects me, this one is called a "pidgeon drop," and it predates electricity.
