Definitely yes, if you consider people still fall for the Kamiti SMS stuff. Get rich quickly without working hard is the syndrome these common conmen & fraudsters prey on!!!
Conmen know very well that over 90% are too smart to fall for their bullshit con jobs. When a Kamiti Idiot sends 10,000 sms, he is aware like 1,000 people might fall for the sms. Depending on the angle of the con job, if he can separate each of those fellows with their hard earned 3k, he has 3,000,000/= pap!
If the fellow asking people to invest a minimum of 50k to get into forex trading was to convince 100 people to "invest" 50k each, then he has 5,000,000/= if he can convince 1,000 people (which is very possible depending on his aggressiveness and the media used) that is 50,000,000 pap!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
