Years ago there was a TV program in which one of the characters ran a company that did mass marketing via the mail. The character was amusing because he found his business very exciting while everyone around him found him and it very boring. In one scene he announced with great pride that his latest mailing to a million households had generated an astounding 0.005% return, far above the usual return rate. I think of that when I think of the scammers. They're not counting on fooling two out of three people they contact. If they can fool one out of a hundred, they'll stay in business. Sadly, there are enough uninformed, naive and gullible people out there to keep the scams coming.
