"The fuck else were these people expecting" is also my visceral reaction whenever shit like that happens, but if I think about for a bit longer, I realize that it's not much different than saying "The fuck else were you expecting" to a rape victim who went alone into a dark alley. Sure, people are stupid for engaging with this obvious scam, but the bad guy is still the scammer, not the victims.
A rape victim didn't sign a contract saying that would happen if they went dont that alley. That's the difference.
There is no bad guy in this case, just an idiot and a company.
