I will never understand how anyone could be gullible enough to be conned by people like Jodi Hildebrandt, mega church preachers, Nigerian swindlers, etc. etc.

My elderly parents got scammed out of their life savings. Its not a matter of being stupid but of not being aware of the modern world and responding to emotional manipulation and fear.

I didn't use the word "stupid", I said "gullible". There is a big difference.

Me either. Last month I got a call from a guy named John. His accent was from India or somewhere in that region. I told him nobody with his accent has the name of John and hung up on him

Some people are really, truly, amazingly simple minded and one dimensional. It's astounding.
