Scams can be illegal and can also be legal. A scam is "improper conduct with the intention to cheat." That means it is not yet illegal until you add something illegal to it. If you get a message saying "Give us money and we will send you $1,000,000" that is not illegal, they did not break the law, they just tricked you.
