Sure. And part of that is education.

You should sometime in your life learn "If it's too good to be true, it probably is".

See a $180 tablet for $18? Assume it is a massive scam. Only after a TON of googling and talking to people should you even consider it, but even then, it is too good to be possible and you should just skip it. Either save the $180 to buy the real thing, or don't have one.

So many scams are not possible of the end user is not greedy. Nigerian Prince, etc. etc.
