1. People DO fall for these scams

Not necessarily because they are stupid. . . .more likely because they are trusting when they get something they think is from their bank, and perhaps because they are just unaware of the ways people steal identities.

after listening to his "liberals are stupid and too trusting of Saddam" crap, a freeper I know fell for one of these. OOPS.
