Nigerian scam still alive

For the first time I got the Nigerian bank scam through my domain registrar NameCheap. It was so silly. I got an email and when I viewed it, I could get $55 million dollars. Why not? I need a new car anyway and my supply of cuban cigars is diminishing.
I spoke to a friend about this and he said that older people and very young people are still targeted by this scam. When a scam is around for a decade, why do people still fall for it?
