One thing is that real crime stories and people being had can be really stupid. Even smart people can sometimes do really stupid things.
I know someone intelligent and logical who, often in the heat of the moment, fell for a really stupid scam. Afterward, he said, "How could I have fallen for something so obviously nonsensical?" Professional scammers usually rush people and make them think they have to act right away, so they don't think about it or look into it closely. That's why I've taught my 80-something mother about online and email scams "There's nothing where you have to act right away." Last edited by drcy; 08-28-2022 at 08:04 PM.
