The older I get the more I tend towards blaming the people being scammed for being stupid enough to be scammed.

$35 Apple watch, really?? You thought that was real?? Well boy do I have an exiled African prince to introduce you to!

Idk, this new generation is growing up without games like RuneScape and EvE. I don't know where they're supposed to learn about scams like we all did.

Instead they get scammed directly from the game companies! So many kids’ games that have gambling features (look at loot boxes, for example)

I got scammed on trade wars as a kid. Saddest day of my young life. Taught me a lesson about Internet security though.

While we're here, take a look at this little vial. Actual tears of the Holy Madonna Herself, the Blessed Virgin Mary. One sip will heal all maladies.

$20.

I can give you a discount if you buy an aircraft carrier too!

Ah yes, there's a really interesting bridge in Lake Havasu Arizona, could you get me a price?
