I used to think this way. But I wouldn't ever consider it anyone's fault for being robbed or attacked because they were too weak or unprotected. Then why did I blame people for not being the smartest in a social interaction? Scammers are often times trickier than people like to think. It's hardly ever "just send me your money".
