This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.
Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It’s the only way this gets better.

If we can get the idiots off the net by them getting ripped off, maybe the internet will get better again.

People think they’re immune to scams, but all it takes is a moment of vulnerability, some great coincidence, some peer pressure, or something i these lines, and they will fall victim. I’ve seen so many intelligent and tech-savvy people fall for so many scams over the years…

For some reason I’m proud of them.
