Nigerian scammer gets a laptop from me
They have already. I regularly get properly phrased phishing emails from "PayPal". A few times I even got some from the banks that I use. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but the only thing that gave it away was the phishy URL.

Those are different. Phishes strive for perfection, because they win as soon as you log in to the fake site.
These "long con" 419 scams need to rebuff intelligent/savvy people and only attract rubes.
