You could extend that to this kind of abusive relationship in general, this lady hooked up with an evil wackjob criminal, against all the advice of anyone with a lick of common sense - including her own husband - because she shares his opinion that the world is full of suckers

For her to back off and admit that she's just another one of the people Martin used and discarded would be to admit that *she's the same as other people* And the tragedy of a lot of bad decisions people make is that's the last thing they want to admit

This is one of the forgotten elements about 419/Nigerian Prince scam emails, they're almost all predicated on the mark believing they received the message in error, and are about to swindle the sender.

Or believing the sender is going to put a huge amount in their account they have to give back and get a small fee later.

It's not a foolproof saying, though. I once *ALMOST* got hit by a con that preyed on my *desire to help people*/irritatingly overactive empathy. There's a fucking insidious variant of the 419 scam (I think?) that goes after people posting tutoring ads/offers online--

Well sure The thing is that both the desire to help and the desire to harm can be motivators in a con, but the latter usually has a little bit of built in protection (someone who thought they were doing something bad is less likely to tell people what happened to them)
