With all due respect, I think that's a very cruel thing to say. Not everyone is well read on the net. Some people are newer to it. Some people have psychological or emotional problems that make them more vulnerable. This kind of attitude is reminiscent of the one where a girl who dresses skimpy deserves to be molested.

ETA: When I was younger, my great grandmother was scammed pretty badly by one of those old telephone scams where you are called and told you won something and then they ask for information. She was elderly, confused, and just didn't have the mind set that there are people out there looking to lie and swindle you in such a way. Now, the venue of choice is the internet, mostly.
