      I deleted my tweets about that fragile white woman and her article going around since attention seems to be what she wants judging by her Twitter. All I'll say is today has conclusively proven you can be both a delusional mark and an opportunistic grifter at the same time.

      That's the meaning of "You can't cheat an honest man", the key elements of pulling off a con - isolating the mark, creating a sense of urgency, making them willing to bypass built-in legal and social safeguards - are all way easier if they think they're getting away with a crime

      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)

          But anything that takes you out of your routine and puts you in an unfamiliar situation, including altruism, is a potential scam The most surefire way to avoid scams is to live a life of routine and avoid deviating from it either way

          Ah! This is true, yes. Yeah, it was easy to find info on this con once I cottoned on that something was amiss (The "time they needed help" suddenly *shifting* when I said I wouldn't be available during the initial time frame, due to *other* volunteer comittments).

          Also, in the former, you except a "return on investment" at the beginning then, you are likely to shift to "sunk cost fallacy" mode in order to avoid a loss. In the latter, you are likely to think anything you give as a possible loss and you are likely to want to avoid losses.

          Furthermore, someone who generous is more likely to be curious and, they have the upper hand if they ask questions; someone falling for "con the con" are likely to be aware of the unwritten rules of not asking questions, useless they're risk scaring the mark.
