I know it's an old argument, but how stupid do you have to be to fall for this? Even if you fell for the initial message/call scam wouldn't it become blindingly obvious within a few seconds that it was dodgy?

While people continue to fall for these things there will always be a financial incentive for spammers (both telecom and email types) to carry on doing this. There are only two ways to solve this problem:

Make spamming a capital offence, or introduce a technology test people have to pass before buying mobiles, pcs etc. If you fail it because you're too stupid, you can't own one. Works for cars.
