I am sure some people still respond to them, else they would not send them. I have yet to be caught out, but where I work insists we change our passwords every 6 months. We get a reminder about 2 weeks before expiry. I think one day I will click on the wrong one.  :)

Exactly, if one person responds, even if you only get £150 out of their account, that's still many times the weekly wage in he country these scams originate from...

I'm still waiting for the phone call from Microsoft asking me to open the event viewer and be told that the yellow triangles mean I'm about to lose all my data  ;D

Had that one yesterday morning. Ridiculous.

On the other thing about online banking - why people don't realise that a bank will never demand this, nor will they ask you to divulge details such as codes, passwords etc.
