I sort of blame the authorities in part for making people fall for this scams, for example, when you file for trademark or register a new business, all you private details are made available to the general public including you home address etc if you are a directory of a Limited liability company...
This give all sort of potential fraudsters a head start towards coning you.
When I filed trademark for some names and it was approved, a few weeks later, I got this official looking demand for payment for protecting my trademark in Europe with a pay in slip in Euro, I almost fall for it...
