>If you get drunk downtown, does it make getting your pockets picked and your smartphone stolen your fault?

Even if you are not drunk those are still not your fault in the way its argued here. A better (similar) analogy would be: if you are drunk and someone downtown asks you for 60$ and you give them, but tomorrow realize your mistake, is it your fault?

Worse, you can be sober and still defrauded. Again. This might prove you naïve or stupid, sure, especially if uou should have known better, but not at fault or less of a victim.

I think your framing is wrong. If you willingly give money to someone, they haven't defrauded you (there's no false pretense).

Yes, this is a more apt analogy.
