I was talking about why victims are many times reluctant to talk to the police or others when they've been scammed. My comment was not in response to the article, but to another comment.

Frankly you seem to be looking for some kind of argument where there is none.

It just looks like I'm more upset than I am because of how I write.

Your comment claimed that most scam victims believed they were doing something illegal; I don't think that's a reasonable claim without evidence.

If not most, then very many of the victims when it comes to scams for large amounts of money. There's good reason for this, if the victim wants to keep their dealings secret then there's less risk that somebody finds out and tells them they're being scammed.

I understand the logic but there is still no evidence to support your hypothesis.
