They don't expect to catch intelligent people. Remember PT Barnum: "There's one born every minute". One victim per million emails would probably keep them happy.
IQ tests are supposed to be standardised to give a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. A bit of statistics gives 15% of the population fall below IQ 85. 2% below 70. It is those people the scammers expect to hit.
