The absolute worst thing about the Krugman thing is all the right-wing geeks pretending they don't know how this phone scam works and pretending they think there actually is CP on the guy's hard drive and the FBI needs to be called

There are many reasons that a random unemployed person would be far less likely than Krugman to fall for this scam One of them being that they would be less likely to have ever bought a paid security service and they'd likely think "Why'd someone target me in the first place"

One of the paradoxes of cons like this is they prey on fear and paranoia A genuinely lazy/neglectful person is very unlikely to fall for this con, compared to someone who's deeply worried about online attacks because they don't understand them
