Quote From: marianparooI think in many cases, the folks who get conned aren't that innocent to start with.
Sometimes they are pitifully dumb, but sometimes, esp. in financial cons, are out to make an illegal buck themselves.

Wow. What compassion and empathy you possess:)
Sorry, but a victim is a victim is a victim. NOBODY has the right to con anybody.
Do you blame robbery victims as well, when they walk alone at night? Do you blame rape victims because they may be pretty, dress sexy and hang out in bars?
Cons pick on the truly innocent; they make the easiest and best victims. The more trusting and HONEST a person is, the easier s/he is to con.
Please look up the words "empathy" and "compassion." Thank you.
