Not me. They decision to part with their money is the sole source of
finance and motivation for the spammers who burden us all.  Like the
spammers, the so-called "victims" are motivated purely by greed.  Unlike
the spammers, they probably have lots of money already, or at least good
credit with their bank.  

If it wasn't for the spam burden on non-"victims", I would be tempted to
think it was a good thing: people who are often in poor countries
relieving greedy wealthy people of large amounts of their money solely
because they are both greedy and gullible.
