The problem is these men come from societies where no one holds them accountable. Everyone turns a blind eye to the despicable behavior of some of their people and they tend to blame the victim for being naive. Many of these countries are developing countries where there is high unemployment so you will find a lot of scamming but the women go there naive to the culture. We aren't going to change the mentality of these scammers or the society that enables it but forums like this help educate women who don't understand the culture and are at risk of being taken advantage of.
