It is amazing that people do fall for these stories.
Datapoint
A few years ago, The Frau was working at a computer security company. This company's business was educating other businesses on safe computer/E-mail practices and in the designing of more secure networks.
Back when the "I love you" virus came out, her company's E-mail was computerized. Evidently, many (not just several) of the employees of this computer security company, opened up the virus E-mail.
The Frau was livid. How can people who work for a computer security company, whose business areas is keeping businesses safe from viruses, fall for this virus attack!
It is bizarre.
