One Born Every Minute

An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn't a sucker or an easy mark
Let's examine that, shall we? Bad enough that she fell for it in the first place, but later in the story we learn that:"Her family and bank officials told her it was all a scam, she said, and begged her to stop"

She mortgaged the house, the car, her husband's retirement account - despite being warned, despite having those around her beg her to stop.

Nope, that doesn't sound like a sucker to me at all.
