I got scammed twice in my life by people from the same country (will let you guess the country). What bugs me the most is the people blaming the victims (oh how can you fall for that..) which gives some sense that scammers are "smart", when they actually exploited/abused the most valuable thing in a functioning society: Trust, that would drag the society way back because now you can't have nice things, you have to doubt, distrust everything you deal with.
