Whatever happened to email scams?

For a while now, I've been getting scam emails from what appears to be random women from the other side of the globe. The email is usually something like "Hey, let's meet up" or "Hey handsome, let's get a coffee". And completely ignoring the fact that there is like 20,000,000 kilometers between where I currently am and where these theoretical women would be, do people actually fall for this? Back in my day you got an email from a pastor with cancer, or a Nigerian prince. How are women meeting up with ME less realistic than that? I would rather see some creativity in the scamming community.

Anyone else experiencing the same thing? I think there was some data leak recently.
