I think we should treat people who get scammed and come out and talk about it like heroes. And this is important: no matter how "obvious" the scam might seem in retrospect or from the outside of the community it prey'd on.

The more I look at scams the more I think this is major factor in how they keep going and keep coming back.

@futurebird Right, and this is true for a lot of things. If you keep blaming the victems and thinking you're done, you're not focusing your time and attention on the real problem.
