Has anyone else noticed an increase in “Nigeria scam” type emails? Do you know anyone ever falling for it?

Sometimes they land in my bulk folder, sometimes in regular folder, but I have been receiving an increased number of these through my AT&T and Hotmail emails. I usually check my bulk folder because some legitimate emails are stuck there at times. I have noticed that the tone of these emails is changing too and some of them are demanding my attention and are rude (I only look at the first sentence to make sure it is junk and then just click DELETE).

I do not know anyone that ever fell for these scams – I am realistic and do not think money will fall out of the blue sky and if it is too good to be true, it is a scam.

Have any of you ever heard about anyone falling for this, not only personally, but maybe in local media? I just cannot think of anyone being so greedy and so silly, nicely said, to fall for it.

I am just not sure why the junk mail operators think we will fall for it, or we all need drugs, or enlarging something, or buying a fake diploma, etc., but some people must be falling for it or buying if they keep on emailing.

Is simply emailing someone a lot, if no threats are involved, enough for them to take action and file a restraining order against that person?
What would be considered proving a stalking case?
