"Yes, I'd like to report a man for robbing me. Yes, a stranger came up to me and said "can I see your wallet, please? I'll put $500 into it!" And I gave it to him, and then he walked off!"

Yeah, because victim blaming is always cool. :rolleyes:
I've seen cases where people have stolen dozens of accounts through pretty clever methods, so it's not wise to assume everyone knows every trick in the book already. I only asked how the account was hijacked because the perpetrator might have been using some method that hasn't been tried much so far.

The issue is that most people who are "hacked" aren't hacked or phished or anything like that, they simply give over their accounts when someone offers them an "awesome deal" like filling their house with gralats.
I'm not saying that people who are caught trying to scam personal data/accounts shouldn't be punished... but this is something people need to learn to stop doing.
