As someone who's traveled quite a bit (26 countries, 5 continents), one of the first things you learn is how to be skeptical of people and not get scammed. I guess the difference between me and the extremely wealthy people who fell for this is that my threshold for feeling angry about getting ripped off is somewhere around $100, meaning I've had a lot more chances to develop my sense of skepticism. I'm not excusing what this kid did. He seems like an asshole. But honestly, it seems like the people who fell for it have had the privilege of not having to develop their sense of street smarts and now they're paying for it. Part of me just wants to say "Serves you right!".
