Why online scams are claiming victims among the educated and well-off?

Because they are not street smart, only textbook smart.

Even though they have first class honors degree in banking and finance, worship crypto gurus, religiously follow TEDx speakers and 'investment sexperts' (*LMAO*), they are dumb and have zero situational awareness.

And yes there are the emotionally weak and vulnerable as well, spinsters and bachelors who genuinely believe that finally a man or woman is really showing an interest in them even if it's just online or on telegram or whatsapp.
