Faaaaar too many (see this interview for an insight into the mind of a perpetrator).

Scam-Detective: What percentage of emails would get a response?

John: Maybe 9 or 10 out of every thousand emails. Then maybe 1 out of every 20 replies would lead to us getting money out of the victim in the end.

So, call that 1-in-2000 or so.
