What bothers me are people who believe "if someone falls for it ... they deserve to be scammed." This is blame-the-victim psychobabble regardless of intent - an alleged joke in this case but it might have well been a real scam. Unfortunately, this is no different than the TV ads that show a high-end car and display the low-end price --- just try to read the "disclaimer" in the fleeting fine print. All this nonsense should be banned.
