Yes, but many people are. Think about pyramid schemes or gambling as similar "greed" or a desire for easy money driving the victims.

They must, however, be protected from these scammers and shouldn't carry any blame.

We're talking about people who think they won the lottery without even buying a ticket. You say that these victims shouldn't carry any blame; at what point do you hold people responsible for their own actions?
