They intentionally make them pretty obvious so only the most r-slurred fall for it. They don't want to waste their time on someone who might realize it's a scam halfway through
People are always looking for the easy way. It's just easier to give money then to file complaints and go to the police. You know that guy who is desperate and willing to buy a car without the keys? That's who this is directed at.
There's a good chance that some people are watching porn on their computers and since there are always news stories about organisations and government departments getting hacked and data being stolen, some people will believe this scam.
All you need is enough people who are just stupid enough to believe this, and they don't need to be too stupid, just easily panicked. Fire out thousands and thousands of these scam emails every day, you'll hook some fish.
We got one of these on a work email and I'm more annoyed that our shitty IP provider let a list of email addresses get leaked/hacked than this attempt. What's funny is the evolution of such scams - there used to be heartstrings-tugging emails from widows who just needed the use of my bank account to transfer the huge sums of money their dear departed husband had left, now it's switched up to 'yeah this is blackmail you pervert' 😁 I don't know what that says about society!

The smart scammers usually spoof the email so it looks like its send from your own email. Makes it much easier to believe for some people that someone hacked into their system.
Yeah, that's what they do with the ones we get at work (it's an old email address that is going to be shut down soon). I could spend time trying to track down the real address, but it's not worth the bother, so I just read the scam, laugh, and delete it.
Someone who gets it on a private email address, though, might be scared enough to pay up, and that's all the chance these scammers need.
Huh I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs Bet that, head crack, blunt force Cozy with the east Africans up north Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God '03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off Long way to go, we already came far Story stayed the same, it was never madе up Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em It's a new day, who got all the aces? Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead? Who sit up straight when the roof caved in? Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen Cup runneth over the brim Bust open, there's no closin' the lid Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it Five O's on me like the Olympics Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it" Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple Not religious, we was really out Philly Livin' on the fly tryna wing it We got us a fire to rekindle Redirect the fight where it's meant for Triumph over plight and immense loss Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts Caught a couple slights and I veered off Saw another height, had my ears poppin' Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly In the dark inside, we was real hungry On a seven of the five, we was real hungry Uh, niggas still drummin' Foot shook ground when I stepped on it Didn't look back when I broke soil 'Cause every time I did it would hurt more In the dark inside, we was real hungry On a seven of the five, we was real hungry And I didn't look back when I broke soil 'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright Yessir, this nigga spittin'
