I don’t think it’s quite as simple as being “savvy enough to know the difference”. For some people, something like these scams falling on their lap may just be the ray of hope they have been praying for. They probably know its stupid but they probably also have a family to feed and think it can’t hurt. Like I said, debt does funny things to people.
But yes, we all agree that these scammers are the scum of the earth and should be dealt with by the law accordingly. Trouble is, don’t most of these come from everywhere that isn’t the UK, making it much more difficult for UK authorities to bring charges?
