If scammers can get people to open the developer console and paste code, they can get them to install the "developer tools extension" and then open the console and paste code. Add all the warnings you want, the scammer will say "see what facebook doesn't want you to see!!!".
This has been called the "dancing monkeys problem". People can really be manipulated into doing anything in order to see the dancing monkeys (even if they couldn't be convinced to do those things for constructive purposes).
IMHO you just can't save people from themselves, might as well stop trying and making my life harder.

- danellis 13y ago'Citation'. 'Cite' is the verb.
- davidgerard 13y agoYou'd think I was writing Wikipedia jargon after a Wikipedia URL or something.
- UnFleshedOne 13y agoI heard it as "dancing bunnies". I think more people will go for dancing bunnies, than pigs or monkeys -- bunnies are cuter! I wonder if scammers do A/B testing...
