It's not always that clear. I had a friend who used an online dating service. He exchanged serveral emails spaning a few weeks time with a "woman" he had made contact with. My friend was lonely and hopeless at the time and this person said all the right things. Before long the scammer sprung the trap and requested $500 to pay for a plane ticket to come see him. She had an itinerary set up with the airlines that he could check online and everything. So, he unwittingly sent the money. Of course it turns out this "woman" was a gold trader from Nigeria. Needless to say he never heard from the girl or saw his money again.
A normally intelligent guy made a stupid mistake out of loneliness which the scammer preyed on. There was no greed involved.
Punish the criminal....the victim has been punished enough for their stupidity.
