I don't think we should blame the victim. Tech is insanely complex and some scams are so sophisticated now that if you're not switched on all the time you might get caught. The vector here seems to be an app posing as something trustworthy. Or what she claims as an app riding the reputation of Google. But to me its the same issue underlying phishing: impersonation. Is impersonation fundamentally unpatchable? How does one ever really 'know for certain' that an app, website, etc, is legit? Could this be fixed, once-and-for-all, with something like a hardware device issued to all citizens with early education around scams? Or would scammers still find ways around it with things like misspellings, subtle details in presentation, or what-ever have you.
