Do people really fall for this con-trick still? I suppose they must do, otherwise the con artist would have given up by now. Variations of this have been all over the press; if you use social media, people are talking about.
Are people so gullible / greedy / stupid (*delete as reqd) to believe that they have been randomly picked to receive millions of pounds?
I really cannot understand it.
