Most of the people who get phished, are not educated enough to avoid it. They don't want to be, because computers are just supposed to work and not be something they need to learn.

If you're educated and ask questions vs just assuming everything is legit and giving away everything they ask for then you realize quickly that phishing is not as convincing as you're making it out to be.
