Re: Who is to blaim for being taken by scammers?

A couple of years ago I would have totally agreed with you, but after a couple of "near misses" made me realise just how clever some of these scammers were becoming, I came across this article https://www.independent.co.uk/a8743886.html which I challenge anyone who belongs to the "I'd never fall for that" brigade to spend just a couple of minutes working through - being totally honest with your responses and treating it as a real attempt, responding as you genuinely would (you're only cheating yourself otherwise, right?). It's quite alarming when you find out how easy you can be manipulated, even if you think you're immune to such things.
