Sure is a lot of victim blaming in here from people who have no understanding of the psychology of how getting scammed usually works. Scammers often ramp up the unreasonableness of their scams slowly. It starts out fairly reasonable, often with something urgent so as to induce stress. Then gets less so in small increments. People are inherently vulnerable to this. All this ego-stroking(this would never happen to me, this is all her fault for being stupid and naïve) is frankly just asinine and immature. Hell, if you really think that, you're probably a prime target. This could happen to anyone. Instead of victim blaming, which only makes it harder for people to share stories like this, we should be humble and constructive.
