Does anyone besides me get targeted in Nigerian Scams?

i think just about anyone who has had an email address for at least a good while has had one of those Nigerian Scam emails appear in their inbox. i can't believe people actually fall for those scams.

This particular scam was going on since I have been on the Internet ten years ago. It is one of the oldest tricks in the scammers playbook I think. Obviously, there are still some gullible fools that are falling for it. Nothing in life is that easy, but some people are going to fall for it. Trust me, you might think that no one would, but given some of the people that I have encountered on the Internet, there are all sorts. Still even if these scams are exposed, there will be new tricks and people still using the old ones for that matter, because there are a lot of people who are going to fall for it. There are some people out there that are not exactly all that bright all things considered. Still, a couple of these scams have found their way into my Inbox and soon after, the recycling bin. The more absurd ones get a slight chuckle for me. People put a lot of effort into concocting some of these things, I'll give them that much.
