If the saying, "You can't con an honest person," is true, then what does that say about the Brits?;)

In all seriousness though, there is a certain mindset that makes people vulnerable to these schemes. It is not just the old "too good to be true" adage, there is an attitude of entitlement that allows people to be led down the garden path.

I find I have little tolerance for the scammers or the scammees...
