Hello Alex. Believe it or not, I have been reading questions in this forum from people who state they have lost thousands of dollars from replying to these scams and sending them their hard earned money.

I can only guess that avarice and greed just overcome basic common sense.

I dont understand how that could happen, but it does.

Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you
