The bottom line is your greed and stupidity. That is the issue. Don't blame the scammers because you are stupid and greedy.
You see a guy selling a brand new, factory sealed 10,000 USD laptop for 1,000 USD and of course he will pay for UPS next day delivery. How stupid and greedy can you be to believe this kind of deal is possible?
Be honest with yourself for a second and admit it. Your eyes pop out, you drool over the keyboard and don't believe what a fantastic deal you're about to make, something you can brag about to your colleagues and neighbors. You forget all about logic and reason and you send the money to a stranger that has an ebay account registered in the US but tells you that he's on business in another country.
Sometimes you probably even smell that something is fishy, but the risk is worth it considering what a fantastic deal you could make.
You send the money in advance, by wire transfer, which is probably the most stupid thing I ever heard of.
And then you cry rape.
Who's really to blame? Did he put a gun to your head, threaten to rape your daughter? No. You gave the money willingly because of your greed. It's in your nature. It's in all of you. Combined with stupidity it's a deadly weapon against yourself.
So better shut up and get smart. The scammers exist because of your nature, because you are stupid. You will never get all of them, they will always exist as long as stupid and greedy people will exist.
