I have something to tell you. Everyone is susceptible to scams. We're social creatures, my dude. It's part of the arrangement. Trust, the ability to trust, that's the built-in weakness to that.
I gotta be honest, I'm surprised by the response. I'm talking about this one scam in particular. It's so dumb to me. Maybe because I'm older; fuck texting just call me generation, or what. People been scamming people forever. It's not new. So to me, it's got to be less about trust and more about desperation.
Also, thinking that you can't be scammed makes you more of a mark, not less.
