Of course that everyone can be conned, but smart people are more resistant - for the mere fact that they probably know more and are better versed in the goings

I am surprised that anyone would think otherwise.

- JohnFen 3y agoI think otherwise simply because that's what the data says. I was talking to a con artist once who took the point even further. He said smart people are actually easier to con for a few reasons. The smarter a person is, the better they are at working out a chain of reasoning that can "prove" the con isn't a con. Since a con is appealing to human emotion, not logic, you can make a smart person want to believe the con so much that they'll work out the "proof" that it's legit all by themselves.
