It is well known that scammers exist. Why do people KEEP falling for it?
I mean it is one thing if someone's bank details are compromised without them knowing and they get ripped off. Or maybe in cases of extortion.
But some people just hand over the details or the money, just putting it in the crook's hands.
Then of course they want to claim they were ripped off. What do they tell the police or the bank?
"Uhh, I fell for some online scammer and gave him a bunch of money, can I get it back?"
