I think it depends on the kind of scam. If the scam involves
appealing to the mark's greed, and the mark falls for it due to
being unable to resist temptation, then the mark does deserve
it. Whereas if the scam involves appealing to the mark's
compassion, and the mark falls for it out of a sincere wish to
help a good cause, then the mark of course does not deserve it.
"Does it not occur to them that nobody chooses to be “stupid
enough to fall for a scam”? Why would they want that to happen
to themselves?"
No one wants to fall for a scam, but many people want profit
unearned through honest labour, hence fall for greed scams which
apparently offer this to them. Would you agree that X who does
not want unearned profit deserves better than Y who does? If so,
then since X will avoid the greed scam that Y will fall for,
then would you agree that both got what they deserved?
It is true that Z who (like Y) also wants unearned profit but
who (unlike Y) is smart enough to see through the greed scam
will (like X) also not fall for it, but then it is Z who has not
gotten what they deserve. Comparing X to Z, X is still the
better person, yet Z by compensating with mere intelligence is
doing no worse than X is. Does this not seem unfair to you? Or
comparing Y and Z, both are equally bad people, but Z by
compensating with mere intelligence is doing better than Y. Does
this not seem unfair to you?
We should want a greed scam to exist that both Y and Z fall for,
leaving only X unscathed. Do you not want this?
"condoning of scammers"
If the scammer uses only greed scams and is scamming purely to
take down Y and Z and all others like them, and then using the
gains to help X and others like them, the scammer is doing God's
work. If the scammer is in it for personal gain, but still only
uses greed scams, at least they are only gaining at the expense
of other bad people, which makes them harmless. The only
scammers who are our enemies are those who use compassion scams.

Of course.
"If the scammer uses only greed scams and is scamming purely to

I agree. I was originally going to end my comment with "The only
people who deserve to be scammed are scammers", although as you
point out, the statement isn't specific enough since scamming
ignoble non-scammers would also be valid.

Interesting points guys, but what about the mushroom canoe?
Don't you want to row, row, row your boat gently down the
stream, and produce fresh healthy mushrooms while doing so?

Seems like it might be a bit smelly, but mushrooms seem like an
intriguing substitute for plastics in certain situations.

Drowning Lizard Gets CPR From Kind Woman | The Dodo

I've never given CPR to a lizard before, but it is amazing how
many insects will resuscitate after drowning simply by cupping
them in your hands and using your warm breath on them. It's sad
how many animals die from drowning in swimming pools, that is
for sure. Looking forward to selling my pool service business
and going fully into gourmet mushrooms....
