      Yah, that really seems out of place with the rest of the list. How does one “fall for” cyberbullying? Where’s the scam?

      I’m also curious about what their threshold for being “victimized” by romance scams is. I’ve wasted time chatting with romance scammers (both bots and ones with real people responding to messages), but haven’t ever given them or their shady sites my CC info, would I count as a “victim”?
