You might be right. I'm sure people who fall for it feel humiliated and don't talk about it. I'm wondering how often it is successful.

It's very humiliating, but it's useful to talk about it. As you see we've now uncovered a pattern because people talked about it, so thanks for doing that. Collaborative threat identification is extremely powerful.

many times unfortunately... You cannot imagine how many people are contacting me in private to tell me that they were scammed... is really sad, and I cannot do too much for them. Some of them I rescued right on time, but some of them was too late.
