The world has really changed... sigh.
Maybe it has not changed so much. I remember as a teen (20+ years ago) of a fairly popular street scam where you got shown a VCR/TV/camera at a spectacular price, and you somehow managed to always end up with a nice box with bricks inside. I knew some people which fell for it, even knowing about it beforehand.
We are just seeing the electronic, globalized versions of ageless scams.
