Who would fall for this?

Here is the latest SPAM email that I received and I cannot understand how people could fall for it. This is just so unrealistic.

they send you an email asking you to pay the fee and then they will release the funds.

Someone I worked with (tertiary educated, business savvy, cynical etc) fell for a Nigerian scam and lost a lot of her own money plus money stolen from our employer.

It's amazing they occasionally catch people who should know better.
