Internet Scams... Do they really think we are that dumb?

I received a bogus message on facebook which I coped and pasted below. I usually ignore these types of things because they are a dime a dozen and a waste of my time. I guess I was feeling reather cheeky that day because I actually replied. I typed out an impulsive email and got a response rather quickly. I'm guessing english is not this persons first language (the facebook address suggests Uruguay). Their response makes me wonder about other what other possible mischief this person is involved with. Anyway, this is definitely no the best con story I've ever heard, but it entertained me for about 5 minutes of my life. Do I sound bitter? I'm not. This scam is just so outdated!

Dear Orji Ugo
You are an idiot for sending messages to people over facebook that say "you have 3 relatives overseas that you never knew about who all died in a car accident, as the next of kin, come collect their 1,500,000 USD." You are a bad person who is trying to con people. Beware of karma, my friend. One day you too will be conned and you might not like it so much.

You have insulted me just now without knowing the truth and whom I am and it is a pity that someone like you can not reason with his brain rather decide to listen to hear say and news that have nothing to do with me or with this claim.  Even though scam exist or even though you have received several times of proposal does it mean that it is related to me and how sure are you that it is me or have anything to do with this claim and can't you understand that this days allot do happen where people take advantage of such opportuntiy and business in the internet to partake in it or even went as far as claiming that they know anything about the claim while they are not even the right person. I know myself but it is unfortunate that you went this low.

Orji.
