Nobody deserves to be cheated...
There are scams in this world that would work on anyone, just because you're above a cod world of Warcraft scam doesn't mean you're immune to being fooled. You would be (rightfully) pissed off if, for example, someone scammed you out of your life savings or a huge chunk of your checking account.
Then imagine how you would feel if someone told you to suck it up and/or you deserved it?
Yeah, I imagine you wouldn't be thrilled. This really isn't debateable, the actions of these people is not tolerated because it is inappropriate behavior, it doesn't matter whether they succeed in scamming people or not.
