Why are people still getting scammed by "dating" sites?

Why are people still getting scammed by “dating” sites???
After all the warnings and exposure about overseas scammers, people are still getting stung. How? Surely there comes a time when the alarm bells start ringing and they realise enough is enough. Just read an article where some woman was conned out of $480k. The weird thing is that she fell for two scams in one. Firstly, she went onto a dating site and ended up sending $80k to someone in Nigeria (why go to a dating site where the other person is o/s????), then she was contacted by “lawyers” who informed her that she had been scammed and that for a fee they would get her money back..........so, why would any sane person pay complete strangers $400k to retrieve $80k? If this story is true, then I have no sympathy for this person. If you have that much money to waste, why not give it to a charity or some other good cause.
