Robocalls aren’t effective anymore. Emails don’t do much except once in a great while. Mail hasn’t worked since the 80s. I have to imagine IM clients will lose their effectiveness for scamming the same as all the others.

You are confused. Robocall scams are still a multi-billion dollar market, capping at an estimated $50b in damages in 2023. [1]

Cant tell if sarcasm or...

All of those scams work perfectly fine, that's what they're still around. Money lost through scams is only increasing; it's a growth market.
