Well, yes, but also we shouldn't forget that the Nigerian Letter is a classic con in that it plays on the greed of the mark. People go for these scams because they want free money, often from a source that is represented as being illegal. It's not just a question of vulnerability - to go for a lot of these scams you would have to be happy to collude in a criminal enterprise.
