Scammed financial advice columnist, defenders mocked by critics: Think 'we are all as dumb as they are'
Fox News
A financial advice columnist’s recent story about being scammed out of $50,000 in a fraud scheme was mocked across social media as ridiculous and out of touch.
"When I’ve told people this story, most of them say the same thing: You don’t seem like the type of person this would happen to. What they mean is that I’m not senile, or hysterical, or a rube. But these stereotypes are actually false," she wrote. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
Notable details of the story included speaking to a man she believed to be a CIA agent who convinced her to withdraw as much cash as she could and give it to an undercover agent the following day.
