He had a copy of the email, saying he was gonna be rich and buy everyone he loves a house. Sad really.

Therein lies the issue, it costs nothing for the scammer to send 1,000,001 emails... and most likely 1,000,000 people wont respond or report the email. Its the one that does that makes it worth their time to keep the scam going.... It is sad...
