Getting scammed is something that is much easier to deal with. We are all being scammed by something. It just boils down to ideals. Unfortunately, that phase in life where one sheds their idealistic heart affects us all in different ways. Some are crushed by it and never truly move on and continue hoping in desperation. Everyone needs some kind of hope and wonder in their lives but too much of a hopeless romantic usually results in the starving artist or the truly devious and cynical at heart...,the ones whom create viruses and scams. They are generally the people that have not learned to move on and keep trusting too much in others and as a result keep being taken advantage of. That's where some can get caught in that deconstructive thinking.
I guess what i'm trying to say is that one generally always leads to the other but i'd certainly rather deal with scammers than the people that plot to destroy what you have with no specific motive.

They remade that into a movie, iirc.
