They flourish because, as the immortal P.T. Barnum observed, "There's a sucker born every minute." I suspect, too, that they also exist to troll for e-mail addresses...a spammer will send out a hoax knowing it's a hoax, but also knowing that when it comes back to him it will have tons of lovely headers with the addresses of new targets for his spam. The *only* way to deal with these things is to delete them.
