It's called GREED and dishonesty! You can never scam an honest man! They get exactly what they deserve!

I think there's a whole section of the population at the lower end of the IQ and educational range that you must not have ever had much contact with. I met quite a few in the military, and have had quite a few more work for me over the years. They get scammed this way all the time, and sadly it is some of the ones with the greatest personal honesty and faith in their fellow man who get fleeced the worst and most often.
That said, a lot of the people involved at least have enough intelligence and street smarts that they have to be suppressing the voice that tells them "if it looks too good to be true, it is", and instead are letting themselves be lured by the lure of some sort of "deal". And then there must be those who know it is probably a scam, but hope to be one of the lucky ones who make money by getting in early. |
