I'd imaging that a few stupid people probably do, but the people who send these emails are stupid themselves, so would probably carrying on sending them even if they didn't get any money.

An author Neil Forsyth actually setup a fake email address called Bob Servant and started writing back to them. He's wrote a book about it called 'Delete this at your peril', which is recommended reading.
