Why is UCT’s spam/scam/phishing filtering so terrible?

I actually forward all my UCT email to gmail, mainly so that gmail can filter all the crap out of it. Why, for example, is the fraudulent email referred to below not filtered?

Dear colleagues and students

You may have already received an email which has been circulating to students and staff at UCT. It claims to be from former SRC member Jessica Price and claims she has been stranded in Wales and is requesting funds because her passport and credit cards were allegedly stolen. We are aware of this email and urge you to ignore it, as it is a hoax.

Sincerely

Communication and Marketing
