The real question here, is how did this person come to be a financial advice columnist in the first place? I have no sympathy for her. It’s simply not true that:
Everyone who thinks they’re too smart, too financially aware, too tech-savvy to have this happen to them is wrong,
What on earth did she think she was trying to achieve, which led to the handover of cash in a shoebox?

Handing over cash in a shoebox to a stranger is shocking for sure, but my wife is pretty savvy and she got bamboozled buying a puppy. She bought the puppy from another province in Canada. She was careful not to give them cash before receiving the dog. So she paid a company to ship the dog to us. Turns out the travel company was the actual fraud. They had a convincing website with booking options etc, but it was all a ruse by the dog seller, who recommended the travel firm.
