Most scams rely on the greed of the victim. It's sad, but most of the people who fall for these are the ones who can least afford them.
For example, the lottery...
"Oh, sorry, no winner this time. Just send us another dollar next week and we swear someone will win, even bigger!"
And the way the "payoff" is structured, even a very low interest rate on what was collected will pay the monthly winnings.
Oh, wait, we're not talking about how the government scams us. Sorry, my bad.
