    I want to understand this as well. It’s the same type of people that are susceptible to other types of scams I think. Like thinking you’re dating a celebrity and you’re the only person they can turn to for financial help. So I sent my retirement funds to Pamela Anderson. We’ll move in together soon, she promised a bunch of times. She just needs a little more money and she’ll pay it all back plus the investments she’s been doing for me. So I guess people that want to believe so badly that there’s a super easy way to get unlimited money that all critical thinking just gets tossed out.
