right
just like the poor old man who won a half million scratch ticket and since he did not hire a security force , it's "his own fault" that he got robbed/pickpocketed of the winning ticket

Ya Bill, just send all your info to the fbi and they'll take care of everything

Haha... I was being sarcastic about the security force. And yes, with the terrible English and someone asking detailed personal identification information over an email with terms like "Scan Copy of Your Identity", people that fall for this have no excuse.

Putting $500,000 in your back pocket is reckless. Who knows, maybe he wasn't even pick pocketed. Everyone has put something in their back pocket that has fallen out.

Not taking the slightest precaution with a possibly life-changing amount of money is idiotic.

Should we feel bad for the person that sticks a knife into a running toaster and gets burned too?

Stupidity and negligence are far too widely accepted in our society.
