I must be worth more effort :

 
Nah - people are just getting more stupid & replying with all their details anyway - so the scammers are just think why go to all the effort when they can easily find a sucker!
 
ye could always reply giving your favourite TDs contact details. Sure they'd be delighted with the extra revenue opportunity
 
My favourite is the "give us 50% of your income and we will provide decent health, education, justice, transport, & finance systems" scam.

I fall for it every month!
 

got a few of those as well and my self-esteem hit rock-bottom ... am i really not worth a decent marketing pull? or 20 million dollars by an orphaned and widowed cancer-stricken Nigerian princess?
