Its probably impossible to stop idiots from spending money on scams... The government exploits peoples fear and skepticism frequently. Remember the time when Saddam Hussian had links to Al Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction? The Iraq war will cost way more than any online opportunist and without those that question the narrative how could we ever have a chance of fighting these sorts of things?
