Australian Pensioner a Victim of a 419 Scam

Here's a link to a news article about an Australian pensioner who was kidnapped, tied up and held for ransom in Gambia in a 419 Nigerian scam.

I can't believe, with all the publicity about this sort of thing that people are still falling for such obvious scams.

Is it greed or something else getting the victims caught out? Are they just too trusting?
