You know, to be quite honest many people do fall for this scam because they assume they will be getting some sort of payback for doing basically nothing at all....so they think.

The bank I work at recently had a few elderly customers fall for this scam. What they do is get people to give them their bank account number and bank routing number. Instead of transferring money into these accounts like they promise, they take and transfer money out of these accounts into Swiss bank accounts or something similar. The people fall victim, the action is quick and since it's an international transfer scam, there is little or nothing the victim's government can do about it.
