It's called "Low financial and social literacy" There are lots of people who see a website say "You will make free money" and their brain just skips over the part where you normally would go "that doesn't make any damn sense". They are usually the same people who spread rumors as "I know a guy who knows a guy who definitely knows a guy at a school where they had a litterbox for furry kids". It's no different to how some people just REALLY REALLY suck at basic arithmetic, or others can read the same page of a book ten times and struggle to pick out what happened. We ALL have some semblance of this. We are ALL fallible bags of chemistry following really dumb patterns that evolved around surviving the wilderness, where being "correct" was not nearly as important as surviving until tomorrow. It's why I just don't understand the willingness to let people suffer "because why should I help them". We need strong regulations, strong consumer protections, strong medical systems, and strong education systems because being born really really freaking stupid should doom you to a bad life.
