Ok the bad guys are in the slammer but are the victims not also a little bit responsible, for being greedy and stupid?

Many people are far too gullible and can get taken in far too easily.
Some of these scams are just so obviosuly scams, but people just charge headlong into them.
People need to "toughen up" (particualrly in this electronic age) and realise that there are hundreds of people out there waiting to scam you.
No longer can we trust the person who phones us up out the blue with some great sounding scheme, or trust the person who knocks on our door, or who sends us an email or a text message.
Sad to say, but people need to be much tougher on who they trust and who they listen too.

How many people have fallen for the "Hello, I'm from Microsoft" scam?
How many on here have had a problem with malware (it nearly always requires your permission to install itself)?
How many people voted for Tony Blair? (He fooled me for about 3 years).
We all make mistakes from time to time, it doesn't mean we are all stupid.

I have a true story of greedy people falling for the simplest of scams.
A few years ago, one Sunday, a chap was selling bottles of whiskey in a Sainsbury's car park well below the proper price. He told some people he needed money to buy for food for the family, at one point he was brazenly selling bottles from his boot.
It was cold tea. One person who complained to the police thought 'it had fell off the back of a lorry'. Only the greedy and crooked buy stolen goods.

I agree with you Nigel in that everyone knows that the interest rate is very low and has been for a good few years, so alarm bells and the phrase 'if something seems to good to be true, it normally is!' I am sympathetic though all the same, especially with elderly 'investors' who grew up in different times to these.
