    I know I’ll probably get dogpiled for saying this, but I’ll say it anyway. It makes me really sad to see these things because they’re targeted to people who aren’t “willingly stupid”. Learning disabled and the elderly primarily. I’ve also seen foreign teenagers who grew up without technology in very corrupt government systems fall for similar messages.

    It really breaks my heart. We should be protecting these people, but there’s so many comments here blaming them.

    “Stupid people” aren’t the problem here, the scammers taking advantage of the most vulnerable populations are.
