The number of people who fall for shit like this is way too high to justify calling the "creator" of said shit stupid.
Hey... I just was at a giveaway steamgroup chat earlier where they posted the keys in chat with one of the digits X'd (so you'd have to put 0-9 in for it). From a little bit less than 200 users in that chat about 20 kept writing the numbers in chat even though other people have told them countless time to not write the number in chat but to just activate the damn key. They just kept doing it. Then they started to flame the people who did the giveaway because they didn't win. I do not know how these people are able to handle a computer at all... all I know is: You will not believe how damn stupid people are.

That was awful. :P Worth it (I won Chivalry!), but awful.
Anyway, as long as there's at least one idiot who falls for it outright or one person who knows better but clicks in a lapse of judgement, then people will continue to generate them. The logic is that if enough people see the link, eventually they'll get someone. It's like TV advertisement. :P

That's why Valve is making Steam Machines that boot right up into Steam in big picture mode when you turn it on...

In fact the "stupidity" of the message is almost certainly intentional, calculated to appeal only to the rubiest of rubes. Sending messages like this is basically free for phishers, but dealing with the responses takes actual time and effort. A more convincing "bait" will get more bites, but a lot of those fish will be smart enough to slip the hook after you've tired yourself out trying to reel them in.

The things some people do or say are so stupid as to leave one astonished. Try not to vote such people into office.

Apparently commas are the new full stops...
I despair :(

Really, what's the point of sending these messages? Is anyone that smart to believe this? Probably yeah if this "Community Admin" is doing this.
Community Admin "UK"? Really? I'm in Poland xD
