California,
Part of the reason is there is very little law in Africa and makes it almost impossible for anything to be done legally if you fall for the scam

Conny,
They can't trap you if you email them.You will get a long story about how they have all this money they need to get out of Africa and will give you a lot of money to help them.Then they will ask you for your bank account number so they can transfer the money to your bank but the only transfer of money is from your bank to their bank and you end up with nothing!! The other thing you would have to worry about if you email them is NOW they have your email address and you may get 1000's of Spam/Scam emails..
