It's free to sign up, and google/gmail is a popular platform. Plus lots of browser extensions and other programable elements that make it easy to manage on the users end.

I'm sure these scam posts are helpful to some, but it's likely these guys are onto the next email address by the time this scam announcement is posted. I treat all online interactions with a hint of skepticism, and suspicion that I'm dealing with a scammer. Even well known emails can be spoofed.
