Nah, all people are born to be duped. Nobody can be vigilant all the time. There's a point where you have to let down your guard and trust that there's no monster ready to pounce on you from the shadows. Vigilance has its own costs that often work against the tasks at hand, and can really fry your body if held high for too long.
As GM you may have been especially vigilant about this issue because you saw yourself as the steward of your store(s), but those associates weren't in the same position and were bound to be more lax on net.
It doesn't sound like these social engineering attacks tanked the company, so whatever dynamic existed between everyone seemed to work adequately.
