that is a huge blind spot people have for damn sure. Known as affinity bias. Shitty shitters will pretend to be like you or share your interests. You can see politicians and other abusive people and liars naturally have a prediliction toward this type of behaviour. Super corrosive both inwardly and interpersonally.

I think it's about blind trust.
Such as "That person sounds and looks just like me. They would never scam me".
That's the biggest issue.
