What unnerves me is that sometimes it's close friends and family spreading these things. When I warn my one particular relative about it he says "but it's fun, and I'm not hurting anyone, so just leave me alone to enjoy my fun."

He got scammed out of $25,000 a few years ago. They were able to restore his account but the fact that he got scammed at all doesn't make him stop and think.
Pretty much the same here, I tell my relatives to not do this, and the next day they are again.
