Social engineering is the most powerful weapon for scammers and jammers. Kevin Mitnick proved this over and over again, not by exploiting the computer systems as much as exploiting people and procedures.
Still to this day, many PC viruses depend on people clicking on an email attachment to spread. They use social tools (Anna Kornakova naked pic.gif) to encourage people to do what they shouldn't do. It is an amazing thing to watch, playing to the curious nature and gullability of humans.
Sort of like selling porn.
