I was just answering your question with something more realistic that matches the tone of hundreds of leftist articles that we could all relate to.

You honestly weren't. Instead, you gave a "what if" scenario.

It didn't seem as much as you expected it to me, based on what you wrote. It's not like they're insulting people and calling them idiots for getting scammed. People get scammed all the time, and articles are written about it the same way. The scam affects people who were duped by it. That's all there is to it.

I'm not affronted at your suggestion, I just disagree.
