Apalling? Perhaps. Shocking? Not to me.
Con artists get what they want more often than they might deserve, where-as ignorant people, or I should say "people with low emotional intelligence" might not know how to express legitimate concerns as convincingly nor articulately.
Just like practically everyone else, I too, was (am?) a Raging Idiot that views people through multifiltered distortion glasses.
Everyone has reasons behind displayed/perceived emotions, so decisions on who to help should ideally be based on sharp logic and not things such as who's showing cleavage or who's conning nice. But it's not an ideal world, and prejudices and quick judgements do abound.
