I read a study that said some people are just “scam fallers”. They are usually repeat offenders and it starts early. I blame push technology like television. They are used to believing everything they are told because analysis is hard.

Makes a lot of sense. I have fallen for just one scam in my life. I was in Spain about 30 years ago on a business trip and fell for a guy’s pitch for a special woman’s perfume called “Nada” (pronounced “natha” in Spain so I didn’t pick up on it.”) He got a few bucks from me, but he bought me a beer and we had a nice conversation (LOL).
Getting ripped off like that changes your whole attitude toward security.
