Yea makes me so sad. When I still did computer repair the number of genuinely nice people being scammed in one way or another was depressingly high.
Unfortunately some cannot be helped as they just want to feel like they are helping/connecting with someone.
Sometimes, I swear the people I'd be helping knew they just didn't care, they were that desperate for human interaction.
It's a tale as old as time. I remember spending far too many hours as a kid convincing my grandmother not to send various people/fake businesses money (you owe the IRS! You power is going to be shut off!) and trying to curb her purchasing on QVC (I ended up later having a roommate who worked for them - the horror stories I could tell!).
