Which leads to the question of who do you really place the responsibility?. Those who are making the money or those who have provided the opportunity to make it?
To ask someone for their credit card information saying it is for age verification and then to deceptively charge the card is a scam.
In general with scams, whether on CM or elsewhere, I lay greater responsibility with the party who commits aggression. There is some responsibility that can be assigned to the person who did not exercise sensibility. However, there is more room to forgive here for sake of desperation, hope, being trusting, or for sake of a sophisticated scam (there has to be some believability for it to work). There is no such mitigating factor for one who deliberately seeks to mislead and scam.

I think you might be more forgiving of the characteristics you describe above than I am. Most of the scams here really aren't difficult to spot. As for being trusting, I'm afraid I'm going to stick with the trust, yet verify line of thinking. When it comes to desperation and hope, those can absolutely be channeled into places away from the internet.
In My opinion, anyone who is really interested in finding someone should utilize all of the potential ways to do so. This is just one of them and because this is the virtual world, the scams more easily succeed.
After all, except for the waiter/waitress when you paid for your meal when going to a munch, how many times have you been asked for your credit card number?
