The "greedy" are the criminals who do deserve all of the blame.
bksmm,

I am in no way blaming the victim, the perpetrator made the contact in the first place. But when trying to explain it, I used quotation marks as no one "won" anything and there were no "winnings" for the non existent lottery. All I can do is help people not become a victim of the scam.
