Funny how scammer chose emails name - warrenbuffet45. Why 45 ? This grandpa is already 89 years old. He might want to lie about his age, but 45 is far away from 89  

Btw OP, do you know that your fake Warren Buffer is a greedy one. Here is another fake that promises $1,500,000 United States Dollars. This time other two fake emails are used.

Found another. This has same mistake with United Dollars.

The more funny thing is that there are still a good number of people who fall for this kind of brainless scam.

The scam itself is terrible. It is laughable. It is a scam which seems to have not undergone the shortest of planning. And yet, look at how people are shelling out money for it.

Idiocy. Does anyone really think that Warren Buffett will deal with such small things and write such ill-formed letters.
You were chosen "Randomly", I would also write that "Thanks to the data purchased from Facebook, we have your email", the question is, do you have a Facebook?
I dare to assume that such scam schemes still work, since the scammers continue to promote them. If all people finally began to understand where the scam is and where not, most of it would have died out.

It is unbelievable to me that people are still falling for these scams at such a high level.  Honestly this should be one of the things taught it school that's actually helpful for your real world life, unlike a large chunk of the crap we have to learn growing up.  I remember getting my first "Nigerian Prince" AOL email scam attempt in the early 2000s.  I'm surprised more people didn't learn from this email two decades ago now.

I don't believe this an old-trick of scamming because if that is so old, people won't fall into this. Definitely, they are aware already but how come many are still been scammed and tricked?

One thing I've found out is that scammers will use known personalities to hide their identity. What it happens to Waren Buffet's name will also be happening with the others but they let this thing ruin their name instead of prompting to make some announcement. I'm not sure if he knows about this but probably, he's laughing to people who get scammed because if his name.
